Contrary from the Juneau tour, this one she is young and very knowledgeable and informative. She is a good tour guide, explained every spot location, while allowed us to come down for photo shooting. She is really good.

They had an office in the popcorn store in downtown Skagway. It was not a long walk from the dock. We just showed our printed ticket and passports. We went to the bathroom across the street, came back and waited for 10 - 15 min and we were on the bus. It's not a big group. Maybe around 20 people. The driver drove us through downtown then up the hill. He provided narration along the way which was very nice. In the mountains, the driver stopped at every scenery spot. Not a very long stop, just 10 - 15 min, but long enough for us to get off and take some pictures. We stopped at least 5 to 6 times. After two hours, we were back in downtown Skagway. We all liked the excursion. The bus was medium size, not a large crowd of people. Short and multiple stops along the way. A couple of stops had a simple bathroom too. Driver was very nice and friendly. I would recommend it to other people who like to see the beautiful scenery, without a lot of walking and without a large group of people.

In the beginning I was disappointed because I thought this tour included the train ride but after we travelled with Eric to the top of the freezing mountains and back down again we realized that this tour was much better and more personal. Eric knew a lot about the place and shared some interesting facts wiTh us. Very small group and comfy warm bus . Highly recommend this tour

Bus tour was great
September 16, 2023
I was debating about taking the bus or train tour from Skagway. I took the 2.5 hour bus tour and I am glad that I did. The driver was interesting and informative. The bus made a number of stops along the way where you could get out, walk around a bit, and take photos. I think that I saw more this way than if I had taken the train.

From the pier easy to find the travel agency. The tour was fine . The guide/driver excelent service. However after seiing the falls and scenery from far away we wished we had taken the train which the station was in the way to the pier . Is almost 3 times the price but better scenery and longer tour. The best from the bus tour was the cemetery for the falls .

This was a fantastic excursion! Our driver was knowledgable and gave us great information along the trip up to the summit. We stopped a number of times for photo ops by Bridal Veil falls, scenic overlooks, at the Summit, at the Welcome to Alaska sign going back down to Skagway etc. We also enjoyed the historic tour of the Old Cemetery. Would highly recommend! Excurion took about 3 hours and we still had time to mill around the town and do some shopping.

There is not a lot to see driving around Skagway, it is more for walking to see the shops but the trip to White Pass Summit was great.

He helped some of the people who had difficulty navigating the terrain. Very nice tour.

We had a wonderful time on this tour!! Skagway is a really cool town in southeast Alaska that has gold-rush-era style buildings. Instead of taking the train on the White Pass Summit, we had a guided tour via van which was awesome! Our guide stopped many times along the way which gave us the opportunity to walk around and take lots of pictures. I'm not sure if the train makes stops like the van did. Our guide was very personable, knowledgeable and flexible to stop whenever we asked! We definitely would recommend this tour!

On a rainy cold day we left early to drive to white pass summit. The mountains were covered in clouds, but we saw the train making its way up to the Pass, as well as waterfalls and the Skagway sign. The scenery was spectacular and different around every corner. Brian made the tour very enjoyable by telling stories of the area and he had made everyone feel comfortable and welcome.

Our turnaround point seemed to be an outhouse over the Canadian border. We were told the gap between the border checks was harsh and desolate and we learned the truth of it. The earlier portion of the tour walking through the cemetery to the water fall was very nice. The views throughout the drive were spectacular.

This tour, by bus, took place in rain and fog, and are we glad we signed up for it! Our tour guide, a retired civil engineer from GA Tech (I regret I do not remember his name) who resides in Skagway, was outstanding. He showed us around the town, provided lots of local commentary, and drove us up and over the summit. He took picture for us, provided appropriate stops, and even though visibility was poor, made it all understandable. We loved his description of the salmon run coming in a few weeks, and his discussion about the school proms. The trains were stopped going to the pass that day because of the risk of landslides - we got there, thanks to taking this bus tour.

Skagway, a City of 1200 inhabitants in winter and 2500 in tourist season is a historical town squeezed between the mountains and the ocean. Polly, our great, smiling and most communicative guide and minibus driver was a delight to be with. In rain and snow she took visitors securely to White Pass Summit stopping at numerous viewpoints and into Canada. A relatively new Alaskan she provide lots of info, historical and amusing facts and statistics. Whereas Juneau’s port area offers lots to those who only wish to walk and view, a bus tour or train tour in Skagway is necessary to take in this unique city. Wifi is not easily found.

The tour started right on time and as we wound our way through the city streets, we had an interesting commentary on the history of the city and some of its famous streets and buildings. The guide gave us enough stops and ample opportunities to shoot great pictures as we went up to the White Pass Summit. Thouroughly enjoyable excursion and time well worth spent.

The tour guide is very passionate about his job and tells great story of the gold mining history of the region. However, having been all over north America I am unimpressed by the scenery. We took the afternoon tour and have good visibility. Later on the ship we met fellow passengers who took the 8:30 tour and said it was really foggy.
Overall, I am happy that I took this instead of the expensive train tour. A great tour guide made all the difference.

I had wanted to take the rail trip, but in the end I'm glad that we chose this comfortable minibus, on which we could clearly hear the narration and had the opportunity to get out to get an even better view.

White city pass was awesome. Our guide had to change it due to the fog, but we loved the graveyard & all the other things he showed us! Skagway was fun to shop!

Fantastic Tour
September 12, 2019
This Excursion was great, smaller tour bus, great guide. Easy access, short walk, from the Ship. Tour guide was very personable, and very knowledgeable about Skagway and the surrounding area, with a lot of history and information. The smaller bus allows the tour guide to stop more frequently for photo ops, etc., more flexible with schedule and sharing of information than a memorized script.
My wife and I and the others with us thoroughly enjoyed this tour.

Suppport the locals!
September 01, 2019
We choose this guided tour over the train ride because we wanted to see the city and hear about it's history. We were not disappointed. Bill was amazing. Since we were a smaller bus, we were able to make several stops on the drive up the pass to the summit that the train didn't. We prefer to support the locals, so we were definitely happy we chose this private company over the cruise line owned train. Saw and heard about so much more than friends that opted for the train ride. Plus, got opportunity to see the city and our ship in port from an overlook at the end! Excellent photo op!

Reviewer: Deb Detmold

Fantastic Tour!
August 27, 2019
This was, by far, the best bus tour we took in Alaska. Our driver (Bill?) was so knowledgeable and personable, and really made the tour enjoyable. We drove through the town of Skagway first, and then up the mountain to the Summit. We stopped many times to allow us to get out of the bus to take fantastic scenic pictures. I travel with a small wheelchair, and the bus was able to accommodate it. The bus itself was comfortable and air conditioned (we had a sunny 75 degree day!). I would recommend this tour to anyone.

Reviewer: Mandy

Absolutely worth it, better than the train!
August 16, 2019
We chose this tour for the price, 1/3 the cost of the White Pass Summit train, and got way more than we bargained for. First of all, Brian was an outstanding guide and a delightful person. He had history and interpretive information peppered with jokes and anecdotes. He stopped at scenic spots to take group photos of us the entire way. That's one point we found better than the train - not only did we get out and look around, but we also have photos of family and scenery that aren't obscured by reflections on train windows.
Another point of comparison between this tour and the train is that the train only goes one way up the mountain, at slow speed, then everyone gets off the train and rides a large bus back down to Skagway. Since we didn't take the train we can't compare comfort, but this small tour bus was very clean and comfortable for everyone. There is certainly charm associated with riding a historic railroad but I contest that this tour has an abundance of charm at less cost.
Reviewer: Rebecca Skeldon

An excellent alternative to doing the train!
August 15, 2019

Great tour guide, coach; foggy weather
August 10, 2019
We took this unhurried, uncrowded coach tour with several other couples, first thing in the morning after getting off the ship. The coach was clean and comfortable, the driver friendly and entertaining. We didn't get to see much of the White Pass Summit due to fog and low clouds. The driver took us to an alternate overlook on the road to Dyea, where we could look down to see our ship in the distance, at the dock and a nice view of Skagway. We also walked through a historic cemetery on the way to a short, steep trail to Lower Reid Falls, which was very scenic. It's a relatively short tour. The driver did help orient us to the town, and we did our own walking tour afterwards.

Unforgettable Adventure

Again, we liked being a small group and the use of a local operator. The guide had excellent local knowledge having spent his last 11 summers in Skagway taking visitors on excursions. A history teacher before retiring he had a keen knowledge of Skagway’s background and the characters from the Gold Rush days. The journey up to White Pass was full of photo opportunities and the journey was laced with information and stories from our excellent guide, who spotted a bear with two cubs at one point on our return journey. He parked and allowed us to observe them, at a safe distance, for 10-15 minutes. Our first sighting of Alaskan brown …. bear very exciting. I would highly recommend this excursion.

You could see some wild life like two brown bears playing along the side of the highway like we did during our tour. I would highly recommend it if your on a budget but still want the experience of seeing the Yukon territory with its majestic rugged beauty. It's a very wild rugged area like the old wes.

Although we appreciate your discounted pricing on your shore excursions, we love your excellent guides who are professionals.

Nice tour
July 24, 2017
This was among the better tours we'd taken during our trip with a combination of history talk during the travel time and some activity. Since there was no snow during this time of year, the dog sled ride was on gravel. Skagway is also a very small town which hosts a marathon run up the mountain on July 4th of each year. We were there a day earlier so missed it but may be a good experience to watch the runners participating in it.
Reviewer: AB

Fun Tour
July 20, 2017
While not offering the nostalgia of the train, these tours are operated on very small but comfortable busses. Our guide was terrific and as he pointed out to us, "we can stop if we see wildlife" , something the trains can't do. A beautiful drive on the highway with beautiful turnouts and overlooks. Great history of Skagway was shared by our guide. The Gold rush cemetery as well. Very nice!

Skagway City and White Pass Summit
July 08, 2017
We have done this tour three times and found it to vary considerably, depending on the guide you have. On this trip (5/23/17) our guide was a real expert on the gold rush days and the experiences of the many thousands of gold seekers. His lively accounts brought the summit trip to life in a most enjoyable way. An unfortunate consequence of his spending so much time on gold rush stories was that we did not have time to visit the incredible weather-dwarfed conifer forest at the top of the pass. We also missed the pioneer cemetery.

We loved our bus tour of Skagway City and White Pass Summit with Brian. He combined detailed knowledge with a comedian's timing. He entertained with wonderful stories of Alaska, most of which were at least partly true, and pointed out waterfalls and other sights that we might have missed. Because there were only two couples on board, there was time to drive into Canada, where we happened upon bears. Then he circled back around and took photos of each couple on a promontory with Skagway in the distance. The best tour of the whole trip!

Our tour guide knew many facts about the gold rush, as long as he stayed on task. He and a few other passengers wanted to discuss hiking the Appalachian Trail. We weren't too interested in that.

Bus ride to White Pass Summit
November 13, 2016
Picked up at our ship, we had a rather long bus ride after a quick drive through downtown Skagway. Driver/guide was very informative about the Klondike gold rush as we traveled across the Canadian boarder (bring your passport) over some of the trail where so many perished in pursuit of gold. Several photo stops broke the bus ride. We could see the White Pass Train traveling along part of the same route, but it traveled on to Lake Bennett and Fraser.

This was a very interesting and scenic excursion. Our driver was a life long resident and very informative and courteous. He pointed out the highlights of the city then we headed up the pass. The bus tour made stops along the way for scenic overlooks and waterfalls that the train does not make. We crossed into Canada so take your passport (though we never had to show them). The history of the Gold Rush is amazing, detailing what the people had to endure. Back in town try to visit the park services hall where they conduct a walking tour. One in our group also took a horseback riding excursion and loved it, too.

Train vs. Minibus in Skagway
August 31, 2013
Before you leave home, compare the shore excursions offered by the cruise line and those by the travel company. The cruise line offered a ride on the railroad up to the summit of White Pass. The description was ride the historic railroad and marvel at the breathtaking scenery. From the way it read, the emphasis was relax and look at the mountains.
The Skagway excursion from the travel company described the outing with a little more attention paid to the history of White Pass. It also included going through the town and not only to the summit, but over it into Desolation Valley below in British Columbia.
If you have ever seen a television program on the Discovery or History channels about the Klondike gold rush, and are a bit of history buff, you will want something more than to take a train ride to look at the scenery. The outing offered by Shore Excursions Group (through the travel company/agent) is a much more satisfying and interesting experience.

The tour was 2:30 hours leaving at 8:00 AM. It was a good bus ride and we went into Canada for a mile or so. Lots of other people took the train ride and went to the first town in Canada. Most of them saw bears. We didn't.
The bus driver recommended that we have lunch at the Skagway Brewing Company. They don't start serving food until 11:00 AM but you can drink until then.

Would have been a beautiful tour if it wasn't raining and cloudy. Couldn't see the White Pass.

Skagway and White Pass Summit
April 23, 2013
This trip was the best ever. You may take a train to go to White Pass Summit, but taking a bus is a better option. You can take pictures due to the bus stops. There is so many great places to take pictures. Great trip. A lot to see.

Take this tour!

There is a lot of history and local colour in the Skagway area. This tour will give you the best overall experience and still leave time for shopping.
Reviewer: Harold

A bus tour well worth the trip.

Unlike the popular train ride to White Pass, the bus tour allows stops to actually see sights like the Skagway Cemetary, a must see, and many beautiful waterfalls and opportunities for memorable photo stops.

Christian ""Big Country"" is THE best!!
August 24, 2012
The excursion was exceptional. Christian was very knowledgeable, personable, creative in his delivery. The stops along the way were interesting, breathtaking and informative. Big Country even serenaded us as we returned back from our adventure. He took one of the best pictures of us from the whole trip! Very enjoyable experience!

We felt this mini-bus trip was more inter-active than the same trip by railroad.

Alaskan Adventure
July 24, 2012
We chose this option instead of the rail ride up to the summit and were glad we did. It was much cheaper but still gave us the views and story behind the gold rush. (We had a glacier/helicopter tour scheduled for later in the day, so the savings here helped us offset the cost of the helicopter ride). My husband (who I thought would find this kind of boring) especially enjoyed this excursion. The tour of the cemetery and downtown Skagway were an extra bonus that one would not get with the rail ride. It was beautiful and also quite thorough in the story of the Alaskan Gold Rush.

Stunning Scenery

Great variety, glad we didn't take the train to Whitepass Summit because we were able to get off the bus and experience actually being in that landscape. Views made us speechless. Going to the old cemetery and hiking up to Reid Falls was an added bonus.

More than just a ""tour""
May 11, 2012
Excellent way to see Skagway - small tour group with very knowledgable guide, knew the area well and added lots of interesting tidbits. Several photo stops along the way - breathtaking views! Driver more than willing to take pics of us with scenic background. We were on the first cruise of the season (May 1) and got to see lots of snow - it actually snowed on us up in the mountains!

Fun Excursion
July 18, 2011
The Skagway City Tour and White Pass Summit tour was very worthwhile. The guide was excellent and very informative about the history and geography of the area. He allowed plenty of time for photo shots at each stop along the excursion.
