Ketchikan, Alaska

Started the day with a crab fest, excellent food, and they feed you all that you can eat. Then on to the Lumberjack show. It was great show, still left us a couple of hours in town to shop

Vancouver (Canada Place), British Columbia

5 out of 5
Rode the Stanley Park with airport drop off, tour was good, but our flight was still 11 hours after our arrival at the airport, long day, and we couldn’t check luggage, so long day of nothing to do

5 out of 5
Very organized and quick
