Initially, my family was upset that I booked the bus ride instead of returning by train, however afterwards they were extremely pleased with this tour.

We would definitely recommend them.

Make sure you book our trip, whether it is regular fair or for the parlor car ASAP as a quickly fill up.

The day was dry, clear, but blustery and our ship was the only cruise ship scheduled in port that day, normally 3 to 4 cruise ships are docked each morning for the day. The train accessed a rail spur allowing boarding near the ship, but the terminal in town is not a long distance if lacking mobility issues. Each car has outside viewing areas, and clean bathrooms, but unlike the staff, guests are not allowed to move between cars. If you spy an issue with your fellow rail car guests upon boarding like small screaming children I would change cars quickly after boarding. Even though water was provided with my fare I would suggest packing water jugs or bottles, and some nibbles ( I packed some yummy freshly baked cookies from a lounge on my ship) for the 3 hour ride, inexpensive snack boxes were sold on the return trip from the summit as were White Pass & Yukon Route ball caps for $15. Windows are large, but if you want the river view as you ascend the 20 mile climb to the summit then sit on the left side, when returning the right side faces the chasm. Ascending and Descending you should pass several White Pass Rail Trains so wave at your fellow tourists. Overall a nice experience for me, with great views. This is a seasonal experience that mirrors the Alaska cruise season, and it takes weeks to prepare the rail for each season.

The Skagway Streetcar tour is a great option to get out and see the highlight of the town,…read moreespecially if you have some mobility challenges (i.e. you are able to step up via a step stool into the bus) Highlights: + 90 minutes, with multiple time slots to chose from, so this allows you the option to do more than this if you happen to only be visiting for the day +Ticketing is primarily done via cruise ships; however, you can contact the company directly to book if not on a cruise. + Tour is primarily a drive through the town and narration/storytelling is provided by your guide as you go. Two stops are briefly made, outside town that provides a nice overlook of Skagway and at the other at the Gold Rush Cemetery where you get to visit the grave site of the one an only Soapy Smith. Tips: - Watch out for the seats over the wheels as the hump will take away much valuable leg room if your on the taller side - Use the facilities prior to the tour. Though at about the halfway mark at the overlook, there is a public toilet there; however, it will eat into you time to look at the view as there usually is a line

She was our tour guide, bus driver, and storyteller, and was a total professional! She managed to weave the historical tale of Skagway with the town of today seamlessly, all while driving the antique streetcar, and chatting us up as if she was our friend or some folksy Hal Holbrook. At one point, she sang her version of Home on the Range while backing up the trolley car and parking it. I've never seen anyone perform any better than she did that morning. Seriously. Totally believable. I highly recommend the tour and Kylie as your guide.

Their cauliflower crust is pretty tasty and it's a nice treat. Came in early morning today 10:15am because with 4 cruise ships in port the wait would be longer later in the day. We were seated immediately, I love their Miner's Morning Martini basically an Espresso martini. The bartender's do a great job and don't skimp on the booze. Usually follow up with the Reindeer Fart Shot as those are quite tasty too but as I hadn't had any breakfast I was feeling the drink. The Classic gluten free pizza was as always yummy and worth the wait if you don't get here early. In this visit, hubby got the Big Dessie and AK Brewing vodka Lemonade enjoyed both.

The museum is run by the National Park Service and does a great job of bringing the history to life. I especially enjoyed the film explaining how the discovery unfolded and how it transformed the region almost overnight. It's incredible to imagine the hardship people went through to get there in search of gold. Even Jack London made it up to the Klondike when he was only 20 years old, which adds another interesting layer to the story. Overall, a very well-presented and informative experience that's definitely worth a visit -- It's free.

This location has beautiful rubber stamps to Commemorate your visit if you have a National passport stamping book. The exhibits onsite give you a feel for what the prospectors had to go thru to try to get to the gold Fields. It looked like the golden staircase had huge step ups on the way up the trail. And it said each miner had to have 2,000 pounds of food, so they had to make lots of trips up and back to take all that food up the trail.

He was quick and efficient in taking photos for everyone on the bus at each of the stops. We were a bit cautious of his driving. I understand he is quite familiar with this drive, but given the weather and often poor visibility we had on the drive, and the size of the bus, he seemed to be driving a bit fast, even passing other buses on the drive. Our tour stopped at the Yukon sign where we actually had some clear skies we could see the mountains in the background. On our return, we stopped at a rural dog sled training camp. We visited the puppies and got to play with them. We were here for almost 2 hours. It felt like our time here was never ending. It would've been nice if the owner came over to say "hi" and talk a bit about dog sledding and the competitions she competes in. Some in our tour group paid extra to take a dog sled ride which was basically the dogs hooked up to a large golf cart with everyone piled into the cart. Not impressive, glad we didn't do it. But we had to wait around for those that did pay for that extra feature to get their ride so we were there for almost 2 hours. It felt like our time here was never ending. To sum up our tour, we spent 4 hours in a bus driving through the Yukon range and seeing the puppies. Not sure if we would do this again if we return.

While we were on our Alaskan Cruise, we took an excursions in Skagway. We met with our tour guide…read morenear the dock, and took a quick boat ride across the Lynn Canal to the other side. The Lodge was located right off the small dock. They had a quite spacious land around the lodge, and even thought it was grey and misty out, we could still see across the water and a few cruise ships. As soon as we entered the lodge, it was so warm and welcoming, it was great! They offered mimosa, and of course, we didn't say no. They also had other drinks like Alaskan Beer, which my hubby also had in addition to the mimosa. After a nice mimosa, the "naturalist" staff took us for a quick walk outside. Then, we followed the guide and the wooden signs towards the waterfall. It was not very far, and we could hear the gushing water from nearby distance. Once we arrived at the Waterfall Grotto, it was so powerful and strong, it reminded me of a Seinfeld Show when George (a.k.a. Marine Biologist) said "The sea was angry that day my friends"...LOL. Even our guide was amazed at its powerful flow, he said that it is normally more calm, but with the rain, it has become a monster. After a nice little walk to the waterfall, we went on a rainforest hike. The guide took us to the top of the hill, we got to see another waterfall, also powerful and beautiful. The view from up here was really nice, nothing but nature. After the hike, we returned to the lodge, and it was time for Dungeness crab and shrimp boil! The staff had it all cooked up in one pot, and was just getting them onto a HUGE bowl. It was oh-so-good-for-your-soul food! Then, it was time for dessert. They had big marshmallows, graham crackers and chocolate, calling out for S'more lovers, and decadent double chocolate brownies. We learned a lot about the rich history about Burro Creek, and the beautiful nature surrounding the area. We took in lots of fresh air and delicious food, and had loads of fun! This was THE best excursion that we took during our Alaskan Cruise.

Plenty of dogs to go around. We then learned how to pan for gold. You get to keep it! They measure your gold and tell you what it's worth. Very fun. The water is warm so you don't freeze when panning for gold.
