Terry’s Boozing & Cruising Tour

Published on Aug, 2024

What a fun and experience this turned out to be. Terry and Judy are absolutely delightful as well as incredible tour guides. One of our foursome had major health and mobility issues and we were concerned about his participating, but we shouldn’t have worried about it. Terry and Judy quickly adjusted the tour to ensure that our friend was able to participate to the fullest extent. Their thoughtfulness, inclusiveness and kindness ensured that our friend had a wonderful experience. If you are ever in Ketchikan be sure to book one of Jerry and Judy’s tours. I promise you will not be disappointed.

Fun, Fun, Fun!

The Cruisin’ and Boozin’ tour was a great time. We loved going to the various local bars and learning the history of the town. It was an experience that equaled hanging out with a couple of our favorite friends. Don’t miss this opportunity, it’s well worth it!

A great way to experience Ketchikan

Terry and his wife were an amazing wealth of knowledge and just a joy to connect with and spend time with learning about Ketchikan. I would highly recommend taking this tour to see and learn about the area highlights and local culture.
