This was a wonderful tour of area, loved the stops for pictures and our time at the Suspension Bridge was just right. We were there on May 16, 2025 and there was still quite a bit of snow/ice on the side of the road and luckily the sun peeked out so we could enjoy the views. We never felt rushed by our tour guide and we lucked out and saw a bear on the drive back enjoying a flower snack on the side of the road and some mountain goats (bring your binoculars).
Thomas_R, Jan 2026
Great trip, lots of great scenery, from harbor to up in the clouds along scenic roadway. We were fortunate to ride alongside a bear hunting for berries.
Dianne_I, Sep 2025
Easy to locate company. Friendly driver. Beautiful landscape and loved suspended bridge stop. Perfect time allowed. Great photo stops.
Maureen_D, Sep 2025
Beverly was friendly and informative and made wise decisions on when to stop at each destination point.
Tracie_C, Sep 2025
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.
Michelle_S, Sep 2025
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!
Karen_M, Sep 2025
It was wonderful, the tour guide was great and really enjoyed all information that was shared and spots we stopped at. Would highly recommend your company and this company as well.
Charles_K, Sep 2025
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.
Swetha_K, Sep 2025
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
Patricia_K, Sep 2025
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.
Michael_G, Sep 2025
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.
Darlene_P, Sep 2025
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.
Julie_H, Sep 2025
This was a great tour and Mike totally made our day. He was knowledgeable and funny as well as a great photographer. He pointed out mountain goats and a fledgling eagle. He even pointed out his dog (so sweet) back in Skagway. Finally, he gave some great dining recommendations. Very high recommendation for this company and Mike.

Patrick was an amazing guide. This was so much more informative than the train. We were able to stop and see more scenery.
Crisanne_A, Sep 2025
The guide was knowledgeable, kind and helpful. He took the time to take our photos at scenic locations. The views were amazing and picturesque. I liked that at the sky bridge you could purchase lunch and get your passport stamped. I would definitely recommend this excursion to others.
Denise_J, Sep 2025
We had an awesome excursion in Skagway and the Yukon, thanks in part to our friendly and knowledgeable tour guide, Andrew! He drove us to the suspension bridge and on the way there we stopped at some of the most beautiful and scenic spots. This was such an amazing excursion, such a beautiful place and we got a bonus, we saw two bears on our drive! Thanks for making our family trip fun and educational Andrew!
Susan_J, Sep 2025
Beautiful landscape and history. Driver was knowledgeable about the area. Allowed time for pictures, not just drive by.
Melissa_C, Sep 2025
Amazing! Breathtaking beauty. Due to unforseen circumstances we missed the departure of this tour. Mike, with the tour company, drove us up to catch our group. He was very kind, funny, and understanding. Conner, our tour guide was a safe driver. He made frequent stops for photos and exploration. He had extensive knowledge about the history of the Alaska and Yukon gold rush. His narrating kept us engaged. We loved his personality! Then on the way back to our drop off point he recited a long poem written by Robert Service, a gold rush participant. This was the icing on the cake to a beautiful half day Yukon tour!
Jocelyn_M, Aug 2025
Beautiful scenic drive. Andrew was great,
funny and knowledgeable about the history.
This excursion is highly recommended
Michelle_M, Aug 2025
Our trip to Skagway and up to the Yukon and suspension bridge was amazing. Garrett was an excellent tour guide. I would highly recommend beautiful area great day lots to see. I thought about doing the train but after reading reviews, I thought it would be nice to get out and take all those pictures and see everything up close. It was worth it !!
MaryPageau, Aug 2025
Mike was excellent! He knew the best spots for the best pics. Knew alot of Skagway's history, and added his own personal flavor. We enjoyed our time in Skagway that much more! Thanks Mike!

Great experience. Loved all the photo stops. Andrew was an excellent tour guide. Just the right amount of time.
Pooja_A, Aug 2025
It was a wonderful experience with Debra as a driver. She was very patient informative and stopped at every possible scenic place. She even took pictures of us. Yukon is beautiful and suspension bridge is a must see . Skagway.
Nina_H, Aug 2025
Pick up location was very convenient right at the cruise ship dock. We were just 20 ppl in a small comfortable bus. Andrew was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about the nature and the local history. We made multiple picture stops. We didn't feel rushed and all of us enjoyed the excursion.
Matthew_K, Aug 2025
Fantastic trip, Bus was great and Andrew the driver was awesome full of informationnand made trip great. We saw a steam locomotive awesome views and even saw a baby cub. Highly recommend trip with Andrew as guide
MORGAN_Q, Aug 2025
My entire family had an amazing time! I continually said how taking this mini shuttle tour was so much better then the train purely for the fact it made stops and we could explore a little more! For example when we saw bears on the side of the rode it was so great that we were able to stop and watch them from the bus for a little. Then Connor was an incredible story teller and just so personable. My brother loved sitting at the front and Connor was happy to answer all his questions and banter back and forth. We also all loved the stop at the suspension bridge since again we were able to explore some and try some Canadian snacks since we crossed the border. I would absolutely recommend this tour and loved having Connor as our driver! He made the trip that much better with his great personality, and overall top guest service.
kandy_g, Aug 2025
Our guide, Andrew, was excellent with his facta and funny stories in the bus. The views were enjoyable and the length of the ride was just right. We have now been to the Yukon territrory and the suspension bridge while learning about some of the history of the Klondike gold rush. We would recommend this trip to all!
Lisa_P, Aug 2025
Beautiful trip and guide was extraordinary . Frequent stops to view the sites along the way. Comfortable bus to take the trip. Worth every penny
Sara_P, Aug 2025
We had a great time on this tour. The scenery was amazing and we saw a black bear and a bald eagle. Mike was awesome as he stopped often for photos and offered to take photos of everyone at the tourist stops.
Robert_W, Aug 2025
This is a must do experience if you’re in Skagway. You get to see even more than you could if you took the train up to White Pass. We were really pleased with this tour.
