We cancelled a cruise line tour and booked this one with Viator and saved almost 100. We got off to a rocky start as Joe read us the rules. no talking to me, no talking to each other, I need to tell you and show you a lot of things and can't do that with 20 people talking and asking questions. So just sat back and listened as the trip enlightened us to the many wonders of Skagway and Alaska. Lot's of local facts that only a tour guide would know. Amazing vistas, and short hiking adventures. He even pulled over and stop to ensure we saw the steam locomotive puffing and chugging up the mountain pass. Well worth it.
Great tour, covered all it promised to in an interesting and understand able way. Brilliant views and photo
opportunities
Nice tour. Several stops to take pictures. Beautiful scenery. Tour driver is homeland security so going into Canada and back is a breeze. Just tell where you are from and that's it. Stopped at Welcome to Alaska sign for pictures. We did gold panning. Don't expect nuggets. It's all about the experience. Just a quick stop in Liarsville. Driver will drop off afterwards in Skagway and your on your own to shop and get back to the ship. Walkable, but you can also take a City Bus back to ship for 2/pp. Worth it, since it was cold and windy that day and would have been brutal to walk. Preferred this over the train since you get to stop for pictures.
