7 Bus Tours in Sitka That You Shouldn't Miss

September 6, 2021 Carley Gatson

The city of Sitka, located on Baranof Island along the Alaska Panhandle, was once the capital of Russian America. Nearby Sitka National Historical Park was established to commemorate the Battle of Sitka in 1804, the last major conflict between Europeans and the native Alaskans. The park now helps preserve the culture of the Tlingit people, as well as the Russian and American settlers, with collections of rare artifacts, the preserved remains of the Tlingit fort and a Russian Bishop's House.

Our tour included a comfortable bus ride to the summit ending in a border crossing to the Yukon. The Driver/tour guide was a awesome young fellow who clearly enjoyed his job and made sure everybody enjoyed this part of the trip. The train took us back to Skagway and we had a different but equally awesome views of the beautiful scenery and the narration was very informative. Definitely a must do and the city of Skagway is a very nice city to visit.

We traveled with our kids and all of us had really good time. Our driver was amazing. He took us to lots of places that we wouldn’t have seen otherwise.

Unfortunately due to COVID-19 our cruise scheduled for June was cancelled. This was a tour that my wife and I were really looking forward to. I reached out to the company inquiring about a possible refund and received a response very quickly letting me know that they would be issued a refund. I was extremely impressed with the level of customer service and am hoping to take another Alaska Cruise in 2021. I will definitely book another tour with them without hesitation.
