    We had a delightful day with Eric in Ketchikan! Eric picked us up promptly at port at our agreed upon time. He gave us a great overview of Ketchikan, eagles at the shoreline, attempts at bear sightings at the creek, a fascinating trip to the Totem Park, where Eric knew all we needed to know and guided us through the crowds. We continued our scenic drive through the area, amazed at Eric's knowledge of species and details! He was great! So happy we booked this for our introduction to Ketchikan! (This trip was July 2019, late to post).
