I couldn't be happier with the tour we got from Dyea Dave. I booked the tour around 6 months in advance, and had many questions for him on the different tour options & how it could be combined with riding back on the train. He answered my emails promptly and his sense of humor came through even in that medium.... More

Don't book your trip on the cruise, you will be charged a fortune! Instead, book it before you travel. And I strongly recommend Dave Tours. When we arrived in Skagway it was very overcast, the clouds were so low that you could see nothing. It was cold and with a fine drizzle that meant you were immediately wet. The Cruise... More

My husband and I booked with Dyea Dave and were so very lucky to get Barry as our guide/driver. Barry was not only funny but very informative and stopped anytime we wanted to (safety first) and at places he knew were great vistas. Our trip up to Emerald Lake was terrific and the day went by so quickly. We would... More

We were greeted at the ship by Dave and our tour bus awaited. Dave had throat problems that day and Barry was our guide. I was a little disappointed at first but Barry was a delight. He had a dry, British sense of humor and was incredibly knowledgable about the area and the history. He told all sorts of stories... More

Based on other Trip Advisor reviews, we skipped the White Pass Mountain Railway and took the Carcross, Yukon, Emerald Lake all day tour with Dave. So glad we did! Our group of 20 rode in a comfortable van, following the path of the train and so much further, to beautiful Emerald Lake. Dave is very knowledgeable about the area and... More

After checking the reviews of the attractions in Skagway, we chose the tour that goes to the Yukon, out to Emerald Lake and stops at Carcross on the way back. This is a great choice for an excursion at Skagway. We had Debbie for a driver.She is very knowledgeable about the area, despite having just started working for Dave this... More

What an absolute joke!!! I booked the Emerald Lake Tour via their website, and confirmed with them on a number of occassions that my wife and I would be travelling with our 2 year old. I asled Becky to confirm that the tour would be fine for such a young child. We arrived on time, had to pick up and... More

Decided to take the Dyea Dave tour instead of the railroad because it offered a lot more time in the Yukon. Boy are we glad we did. The day was rainy and foggy as we left Skagway but as soon as we got over the summit it cleared up and became a bright and sunny day. Barry was very well... More

Dave turned up to meet us at the quayside as arranged, but he was let down, there was supposed to be two couples, us and another, the other failed to turn up so Dave took us on our own for this tour. He started off with some input on Skagway itself, dropped us at the railway station to pick up... More
