Recently went on the Summit & City Bus tour ride with my family, and it was beautiful! Our driver and tour guide Andrew was super kind and excellent, gave cool history facts about Skagway, and offered to take photos. I would highly recommend having Andrew as your tour guide! 🚎🏔️👍🏼
This was a great tour! Our driver guide Drake was so fun and informative. We got to go to the bridge, and they had a little scavenger hunt for the kids with a prize at the end. BOOK THIS!!
The windows were down the entire time this was Freezing and the windows were foggy the entire time. Hard to see the scenery and was too cold on the bus to enjoy. Driver kept turning the bus off at each stop and kept the bus cold. Hard to enjoy. Please consider a different customer experience
Tour to the border, going through no man's land and taking a photo at the welcome to Alaska sign. Tour to know the history and the stories of Stagway.
A great way to travel the white scenic pass. Sightseeing stops along way provide opportunities to get off the bus, take photos, and even take a short hike to a beautiful waterfall. Our guide D-Hawk made the tour so much fun!!
The tour was a nice time. Our guide was knowledgeable and funny. The speakers were easy to hear and understand what was being said.
The bus was comfortable and viewing was good with frequent stops at the most beautiful, awe-inspiring locations. The tour guide provided information about the history, fun-to-know facts, and his love for the area was evident. He was energetic, available for photo-taking, and answered questions. Dropped folks off in town or at the cruise ship. Off topic, Klondike Doughboy.. yum and the line moves quickly.
We had a great time on our tour. We loved being able to stop and get out at a few places. This worked best for our family because of the length of the tour.
Daniel was terrific! We really enjoyed the the summit drive and stop at the top. The weather was perfect. We also had time to visit an amazing waterfall. Thank you for such a memorable experience. A+
Daniel our driver/ tour guide was a delight. He was personable, entertaining and made an effort to ensure our tour experience was memorable.
