This was a great excursion. Our driver Conner was fantastic! Conner was friendly, fun but professional and extremely knowledgeable about the history of the Yukon and Skagway. I would recommend this tour to everyone.

Words cannot describe what my daughter and I experienced on this tour. Our guide, Garrett brought us to places that are breathtaking. It is hard to imagine the beauty that surrounds us. Garrett was very knowledgeable about the area and provided a well narrated tour. He provided many opportunities to stop and admire. I would definitely recommend this tour!

It was a great way to see fantastic scenery in Alasak and into the Yukon territory. We saw some fall color too as it was in September.

We had a great, relaxing journey!! This was the last stop of 3 ports in our cruise and it was a perfect, scenic, relaxing excursion after we’d been pretty busy the other days. They are extremely easy to locate right outside the princess cruise and our tour guide, Conner, was amazing!! Very knowledgable about the location, Alaska, etc

Best bang for our buck in all of Alaska. It was rainy and foggy in Skagway and some of our party canceled. We did not and are so glad! After we left the city the weather cleared and the day was great. The guides are good, the views are awesome, and the bison chili is delicious. Excellent from start to finish.

The tour guide was phenomenal and the views were amazing. However you had better like people because the ones we were with had no sense of courtesy and only thought of themselves. The bus was filled and these people kept talking while the guide was speaking. When the guide said ten minutes for photos, they took 15 etc. I’d rent a car next time and do it myself. The kicker was the student at the local school who gave the tour bus the middle finger as we passed by. I understand not liking tourists but if the cruise ships stop coming, that town would be in shambles. That’s just the reality of it.

Great guide who was super interesting, informative and fun (Would like to give him a shout out but I forget his name. He had red hair and played the harmonica when it was time to get back on the bus :) There were many great stops along the way with breath-taking scenery! Bonus: We also saw a bear! The time spent at the suspension bridge was just right. The small van really allowed us to maximize our time -- no waiting for crowds to get on and off the bus, passport check at border literally took 60 secs., etc. This tour was also way more cost effective than the ones offered on the cruise ship and it was easy to find with a very convenient pick up location. Truly, this trip made Skagway my favorite port stop.
