While food is not included, there is an opportunity at the suspension bridge to get food. Our tour operator, “Beverly Hills,” was exceptional! Her knowledge and personality are an absolute plus for this excursion. There are plenty of stops for photo opportunities. An absolute must if you are in Skagway.
The tour was great! Conner did a great job and really knew his stuff. A lot of guides don’t have in depth knowledge of what they are talking about but Conner did! The scenery was beautiful and we really enjoyed it. The only problem was in trying to find the starting point of our tour. Viator seemed to give us the wrong location to meet the van. We walked a fair distance only to have the tour operator call us and said they were waiting for us on the dock where the ship was. Luckily the tour operator, Frontier came and picked us up.
Great drive to all the mentioned areas. Connor our guide and driver was fantastic. Told us great stories, very insightful on the area and even dictated a poem to us. He was very knowledgeable, accommodating and helpful. Made the tour and ride very enjoyable. This was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Also very happy to support a family owned business.
We had Andrew as a driver. He was very informative and made our day so enjoyable. Helped with taking photos along the way.
Nice bus trip, comfortable and many wonderful stops. Suspension bridge is a must go. The tour guide is friendly and knowledgeable.
We had a great time on this tour! Even though we were running late due to our cruise ship having to shuttle us to the pier, they made sure to pick us up and catch us up with the rest of the group. Highly recommend!
Dress in layers the mountain area is cold. The views are beautiful and definitely worth seeing. Highly recommend.
It was well executed. Pick up, drop off, communication, tour guide, etc were excellent. We really enjoyed being able to get out and take photos. We then had time to spend in skagway. We had a great day. Patrick was great.
Our guide Beverly was outstanding! She was very knowledgeable about the gold rush and at the same time excellent driver! Stopped at all the interesting places and gave us information about the place or the events.
The scenery as you travel through the Coastal Mountains following the path of the gold rush to the Yukon. Our guide Mike was amazing both with his knowledge as well as his entertaining.
