Natalie was a great guide. She had a lot of interesting stories and fun facts to tell. A great way to learn about Juneau’s history, colourful characters (those alive and deceased) and some detail about its cultural heritage. I strongly recommend this tour. I also want to mention that we were on a cruise ship and had limited time at port; so Natalie was able to modify the tour to meet our time schedule.
