Top Skagway Private Sightseeing Tours

This was an AMAZING experience and I would highly recommend it to anyone stopping in Skagway. The scenery along the Klondike Highway was stunning. Be prepared to pull over several times for photos! We really enjoyed having the recorded audio tour while we traveled. The system knew exactly where we were throughout the trip and the historical information provided was very interesting. The company even provided a backup written copy, with maps, in case the GPS goes down for any reason. The reward at the end, Emerald Lake, is well worth the drive. It's so beautiful. We brought extra water and snacks, just in case. The only place to stop for food is Carcross, which is a couple of hours from Skagway. There is only 1 public restroom stop along the way. Also, don't forget to bring your passports or US Resident cards because you will be going through both Canadian and US Customs and they don't accept just a driver's license or state ID. If you are not from the U.S., be sure to research Canadian requirements in case you need a Visa.

We decided to try the bus tour up the White Pass in Skagway rather than the Klondike train and we did not regret it. While the train was certainly cool, it was very crowded with fewer stops along the way. The suspension bridge was a fun stop and we got to see all of the same sights close up. All for about half the price. Our guide was informative and friendly. He made sure we ‘made the most of it’!

This was a great walking tour around the town! though much of the history is about working girls and the bar scene, you also hear about the difficulty of the gold rush and history of the town. Our tour leader was very respectful of people's walking ability, knowledgeable, engaging and clearly enjoys her work. Thanks Madame Purity!
