4.Sightseeing City Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 20 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $81Best value

Spend about two hours seeing Yellowknife with a small group of up to 10 people, hotel pickup, and an English-speaking guide such as Joe. Visit City Hall and Park, sign a city certificate, collect a Yellowknife pin, climb to Bush Pilot’s Monument for bay views, and receive free photos afterward.

“Tour operator did not show up, then contacted us an hour later to say there was a mixup in the tour. No communication beforehand. Also they stated the tour minimum was 4. All of that should have been discussed and communicated the day before. Be careful of all Yellowknife tours, this week we are 2 out of 3 for no show operators!!!! We were promised a refund we will see how that goes.”
