Raymond our tour guide was amazing, stopped at all the right places and explained every step of the way. The most amazing views. Highly recommend is you are going to Alaska. 6 hours that went way to quickly
Fdegrave, Aug 2025
excellent tour, great guides.. you see a lot on this tour. worth the money. We saw a lot of wildlife, mountain goats, eagles, even a grizzle bear.

Clay is a thoughtful informed driver and guide. Comfortable coach. Hearty BBQ chicken lunch. Beautiful country.
al_s, Aug 2025
Wonderful guide. Clay was awesome and we certainly have a great day in the Yukon. Clay knew a lot about the area and history. We would recommend.
Mary_G, Aug 2025
The driver was very aware of sightings along the drive. We were able to see mountain goats, grizzly bear, and eagle nest with 2 baby eagles. Also the new turnaround of the train. The food was delicious. Sorry the sled dogs were worn out with too many earlier viewers.

Scott was a terrific guide! We loved all the many stops to take photos of waterfalls, gorgeous lakes, and other picturesque scenes. Scott’s knowledge was great and his friendly personality… a plus!
Paul_L, Jul 2025
The chances of spotting wildlife always vary but we saw 3 black bears 2 bald eagle young kings and about a dozen mountain goats.
The scenery is spectacular.
I was expecting to be disappoint d at the stop at Carcross but the food was good and the taxidermy display is worth seeing. Oh - and cute husky puppies!
A good tour guide makes a difference - Kenton was witty, knowledgeable and kept us laughing almost the entire way.

Raymond was a great driver. He made it interesting. Saw a momma bear and 3 cubs, that were along the roadway. He pulled over and the bear walked with cubs less than 5 feet from the bus.

6 hrs of beauty!!! knowledgeable guide, great trip, great weather, nice group... dumb rules by via tour to need 100 characters
Chuck_L, Jul 2025
Our driver was great and very fun and informative. He took us to areas and showed us the local experiences.
Gayle_A, Jul 2025
Bit of a scenic tour. Emerald lake isn’t green like the photo says. Didn’t see a bear but we saw other small animals
Janet_H, Jul 2025
Fantastic journey to the Yukon with a knowledgeable and friendly guide and human. Loved it. We learned a lot and had a great time.
Kim_F, Jul 2025
I have done this tour a few times well worth the price and time.
Although I must say the driver made some more insensitive jokes and comment of Canada and USA
I found offensive given the political climate between the two countries I found this just too offensive he could have talked about so much other content.
Other than that everything was great
Bear and fox and goat sightings

Amazingly scenic drive. Our driver Mr. Clay was very knowledgeable and gave us a very informative commentary. We were lucky to see a juvenile bear busy eating ants by the side of the road, where we stopped by a little!
Daniel_S, Jul 2025
This trip was a good way too see a lot of different terrain and ecosystems. It is a lot of driving, but we got to see lots of waterfalls, alpine lakes, beautiful mountains, the steam engine train accross the valley, two bears, eaglets in their nest, and the mushing camp that included an impressive taxidermy museum of most local animals.

This was a 150 mile ride into the Yukon Territory. While the scenery was nice and the driver/tour guide, Clay, did a great job it wasn’t worth going on. The dog sled was misleading. There were 16 dogs chained up. They wanted $50 pp to ride them pulling a truck. Definitely not worth the money or time. There are better tours in Skagway
VijayKumar_V, Jun 2025
The views are amazing.
Motor coach driver is also guide and explains everything.
I would appreciate guide for taking pictures of us.
Overall, he is so good and great experience.
Must do activity in Skagway.

Scenic bus drive through the mountains. We loved the view from Emerald Lake. We saw two bears and some goats high up in the mountains. The kennel was fun for the kids. We debated the mush sled but didn’t feel like it was worth the money. The best part of the experience was our driver Tim who had hilarious stories and anecdotes. He also doubled as our professional photographer to find us the best places to capture the best angles. Would recommend the experience to other large families.
Stephanie_L, May 2025
This excursion was the best way to explore the area around Skagway. The bus was comfortable and our driver friendly and funny. We saw everything we were promised plus a black bear and were still back in time to explore Skagway.

This tour was the highlight of all of our shore excursions during our Alaska cruise. A smaller shuttle with only 10-12 people gave a very personal experience. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. We saw everything we hoped for including a curious grizzly bear on our way to the Yukon.

Garett our tour guide was exceptional! Our tour was six hours and we didn’t want it to end. It was the highlight of our vacation. There were only 9 people on the tour and by the end we felt like family. Garett showed us some amazing sights. The views were breathtaking. We stopped at so many great spots to see the views and take pictures. We filled up our water bottles from Bridal Veil falls. The water was so cold and refreshing. What a treat.
Lunch was such a fun experience too. The food was delicious and the staff so friendly. The petting farm was great. The puppies especially were amazing. They were so excited to play with everyone.
When we got back on the bus Garett had bought us all a Canadian chocolate bar. So nice of him.
On the drive back we saw a bear and a bald eagle. Garett kept his eyes peeled for great sights like this for us, and stopped so we could take photos.
His stories of the gold rush were very informative and entertaining.
I highly recommend this company and tour. We’re definitely going to come back again.
Thank you for a great day.

So Rebecca made this trip! We had so much fun with her and she was so welcoming and felt like an old friend! She was so informative and gave us so many opportunities to see so many things! We loved the fall colors too Rebecca!!

Enjoyed their bus tour and the driver Chad was a joy. Unfortunatley you can’t control some passengers.
Weather wasn’t the best but the afternoon cleared enough to see some awesome views
Shahid_N, Sep 2024
Cracross Museum and the ride through the White Summit. The guide, Rebecca was very humorous and knowledgeable. What I found unusual was the sign above the driver’s seat saying that the wages paid to the guide is based upon the generous tipping. We paid C$200 per person for the tour and it didn’t sound appropriate that the tour operator wouldn’t pay a decent compensation to the guide out of that fee.

Awesome Yukon experience and Amazing driver tour guide
Thank you ..I can’t say more due the circumstances we have had
TerriLynn_F, Sep 2024
Amazing views the entire journey. Saw much more of the tormented valley than on any previous train excursion and the views and sites of the Yukon are not to be missed.
Cindy_G, Sep 2024
Rebekah’s enthusiasm and knowledge, coupled with the amazing scenery combined to make a stellar experience!

The puppies and Emerald lake were my favourites. Amazing views of mountains and lakes. Our guide Rebecca was fun and very knowledgeable
Response from Host, Sep 2024
We are very excited to share this information with Rebecca, thank you for your feedback
Victoria_W, Aug 2024
Wonderful trip, very informative, lots of extra hidden gems along the way, driver was great, enjoyed the lunch and dog camp the most
Patricia_G, Aug 2024
The tour was great! I loved the mushing camp and all the things to see there. The only complaint I have is the meet up location wasn’t easy to find since the buildings aren’t numbered. I would recommend having the pick you up at your ships dock instead. The guide was really friendly and made sure to stop at all the important locations on the way for pictures.
