    10/10 great experience

    Logan_E, Oct 2025
    It was one of the best experiences I’ve had our tour guide Will was amazing he shared so many fascinating facts about Alaska made sure we all had a good laugh and most importantly made sure we all staid safe 10/10

    Expected to see more...

    Bonnie_R, Oct 2025
    Expected to see more wildlife. That’s not your fault but was disappointed. Did see some beautiful landscape but nothing I’ve not seen before maybe in another state. Bus was comfortable m, however, it was extremely cold. our driver was very knowledgeable and funny but he did talk a lot about irrelevant things. We did not take any snacks with us so we were kind of hungry. Don’t know that I read anywhere to bring snacks but if you don’t have it in your description somewhere maybe you ought to put it in there.

    Had Noah as guide. Was very awesome. Went to Yukon sign and back. Noah actually lives in Skagway so it was great to have a locals point of view.

    Stunning Views

    N_V, Oct 2024
    My husband and I had an absolutely fantastic time on the Skagways Tour to Winter Wonderland. Our guide, Noah, was a local and his deep knowledge of the area was evident throughout the tour. He was lively, knowledgeable, and entertaining, making the experience even more enjoyable. Noah took us to breathtaking viewpoints that we would have never found on our own. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment of the tour and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure in Skagway!

    Amazing! Definitely book this tour

    Ashley_G, Oct 2024
    Noah was a wonderful tour guide! He kept the whole trip entertaining and informative. Also showed us great spots to enjoy the natural beauty.

    Best tour we’ve ever taken!!

    rpkawakami, Nov 2023
    This was the best. I was hesitant about doing a “bus tour” but this tour was incredible. You get to see things you would never be able to on your own. Our guide, Mike, was OUTSTANDING. Very knowledgeable and fun! Also, our ship did a last minute change in itinerary and you’all took care of it without a hitch! Our pre-tour convos with Claudia was fabulous. Always quick to respond to our questions. Would definitely recommend.

    Skagway at its finest!

    Mark_G, Oct 2023
    Mike was an awesome guide for our tour. Made alot of beautiful scenic stops so we could take photos and had lots of great stories to tell about the area. We would definitely recommend this trip to others.Ska

    We love Mike!

    Ryan, Oct 2023
    This was an excellent tour! Mike was hilarious and took such great care of us! We were able to drive over the Canadian border and chase the train down the mountain. The scenic stops were gorgeous. He told us fun stories about his life that shed light on the stark differences of Alaskan life and those of us from the lower 48. Claudia was very communicative pre tour via text and made sure we were directed to the right pick up location which was conveniently located at the shuttle stop. Highly recommend this tour!

    Not worth the money

    john_g, Oct 2023
    Noah was excellent tour guide and driver, but the tour itself was a 2 hour ride to nowhere and 2 hours back again. No snow, no winter wonderland
