Top Alaska Shore Excursions - page 3

Pam was absolutely fantastic! She was super funny, knowledgeable, and entertaining from start to finish. She kept us laughing while sharing so much great information and made the entire experience even more enjoyable. We booked this excursion last minute, and we’re so glad we did! Pam really made it memorable. Definitely recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We would 110% recommend this excursion to anyone stopping in Skagway! We took the Skagway Shore Excursion: White Pass Summit and Skagway City Tour, and without a doubt, Andrew made the experience truly special from beginning to end. Andrew is one of those rare people whose personality immediately makes you feel like you're in for a great time. He honestly reminds us of Jack Black in more ways than one—funny, energetic, entertaining, talented, and just an all-around genuinely amazing guy! But behind all that personality is someone who is full of knowledge about Skagway, the Klondike Gold Rush, and the incredible history of the area. We learned so much about the town and its past that we never would have known otherwise. The scenery alone was absolutely breathtaking. Traveling along the Klondike Highway, we experienced spectacular mountains, coastal rainforest, and sub-alpine tundra, with multiple scenic stops along the way where we could actually get out and experience it for ourselves. We saw incredible places including Brackett Wagon Road, Pitchfork Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, Moore Creek Bridge, the White Pass Summit at 3,292 feet, the Welcome to Alaska sign at the U.S./Canada border, Summit Lake, the Skagway City Overlook, and the Gold Rush Cemetery. We also had amazing views of the White Pass & Yukon Route railroad. One of the things we loved most was that we didn't just drive past the waterfalls—we actually got out and felt the freezing-cold water for ourselves! Those moments made the experience feel so much more real and memorable. We also hiked to the waterfall near the Gold Rush Cemetery, and honestly, it was just out of this world. Seeing that incredible waterfall surrounded by the beautiful scenery was one of those moments you simply have to experience in person. One of the biggest reasons we would choose this tour over the train ride is the opportunity to stop at so many of these beautiful locations. The train has incredible views, but you don't get to pull over, get out, hike to an amazing waterfall, feel the icy water, take your time, and capture all those unforgettable landmark and landscape pictures. Andrew knows exactly where the best photo opportunities are and is an amazing cameraman, too. He helped make sure we came home with pictures and memories we will treasure. And Andrew doesn't just give you a typical history lesson. He brings everything to life with his humor, personality, storytelling, singing, and even poetry recitations. He is also the town magician of Skagway, which somehow fits his larger-than-life personality perfectly! You can tell he genuinely loves what he does, loves his town, and truly enjoys sharing its history and beauty with the people who visit. The free bottles of water were also a thoughtful touch and much appreciated. If you're trying to decide between this tour and the train, we would personally choose this tour every time. You get incredible scenery, fascinating history, numerous opportunities to get out and take breathtaking photos, and most importantly, you get Andrew. He didn't just take us on a tour—he made us feel like we truly experienced Skagway. Thank you, Andrew, for an absolutely unforgettable excursion. You are genuinely one of a kind!

M & M tours went beyond what was required in every way! First my husband and I were on a cruise with only a half a day in Juneau. Somehow I screwed up the date and only realized it the day before we were to be in Juneau. I contacted Viator to see even though I put in the wrong date, could they accommodate me for the correct date. Viator wasn’t able to contact M & M but left a message. Viator said that it would strictly be the tour company’s decision to accommodate me or not. I paid for the tour months ahead. Thankfully the tour company contacted me first thing in the morning to say, “yes please join us-no additional cost”. We went on the tour and our guide was Alicia. Fantastic guide. She is a native and lives in the area so she knows her way around and her history. She drove our bus and narrated. She is kind, courteous and professional. She encourages your questions and can answer all of them. Plus she gives you fun snacks/trinkets at each stop along her tour. Best tour on our Alaska cruise! Thanks M & M for going the extra mile for your customers. Viator is fortunate to employ you.

We absolutely loved this adventure. The captain did a great job piloting the ship. The crew was very friendly and personable. We were well informed on the different areas and points of interest throughout the cruise. The cabin seats were comfortable and there was plenty of room to bring along your backpack. We enjoyed the hot lunch and fresh baked cookies before disembarking. Although it was late in the season for whales, we saw plenty of wildlife. The absolute highest was getting up close to the Aialik Glacier. We spent a long time there so everyone got a great opportunity to view it up close and take photos. We even saw some calving of the glacier. I would definitely recommend this tour and will book again if I travel to Seward again,

We had Kenny as our bus tour guide. Very entertaining, knowledgeable and friendly. The waterfall of Nugget Falls was spectacular. You could get right up to it. The glacier was understandably farther. You can only get to it via helicopter from what we were told. But if it is a clear non-foggy day you can see it clearly.

A nice drive with lots of information along the way. We stopped at a few great spots for pictures - overlooking Skagway, Pitchfork Falls, Dead Horse Gulch, Tormented Valley, the Welcome to Alaska sign, Bridal Veil Falls, and the Gold Rush Cemetery all while learning about them along the way. CJ was friendly and fun. Plenty of time after for shopping too.

Wonderful experience! Lexi made our small group feel welcomed to Ketchikan and gave us a personal tour! We were able to see a mama bear and her cubs at Herring Cove and Lexi drove around to give us anouther chance to see them. We also saw numerous bald eagles, harbor seals, and wonderful sights. We visited rainbow falls and hiked up to the upper portion to see the second waterfall. It was great to have such a personalized tour.

These guys are great. The staff was amazing!! We had some issues reaching the meeting point on time and Amanda went out of her way to help book us on the next tour. She also assisted us in getting back to the port on time. Incredible customer support that you don't get nowadays. The tour was amazing as well. Beautiful place!! Chris was an amazing tour/trolley guide. I would recommend that Viator place something on the description that you will need at least 30 minutes or more to reach the meeting location if you cruise ship is docked at Ward Cove.
