My wife and two children and I were in Skagway for a day on land from our cruise. We dragged our feet in booking a cruise based excursion. The price for this tour was reasonable, and the company had good reviews, so we went for it. You never know what kind of experience you'll have if it's not through the cruiseline. Our experience was exceptional. Our tourguide was Christine, a sweet, thoughtful, and very knowledgeable person who put us at ease and made our tour a joy. She was a font of knowledge regarding Skagway and the surrounding area, and she even kindly showed us how to adjust some settings on our smartphones to get incredible pictures of waterfalls and such.
I couldn't recommend this tour more, and specifically Christine as well - do what you can to get her as your guide. =)

Thanks for this great review. I'm glad you said "guided by a caring professional." Guiding is a profession, and we at Rainbow Glacier Adventures take this responsibility seriously. We aim to provide a safe experience and add value to the time you spend in Haines or Skagway. I also like that you mentioned the price was reasonable. Our tours are small-group only, and so they might be more expensive than some of the big bus tours. I believe in small-group experiences and individualized attention, and that is not possible with a fifty-passenger bus. So much of the cruise experience is crowd management, particularly with big ships. So we want our guests to get away from the crowds and have a chance to breath in the fresh Alaskan air at an unhurried pace.
