Our tour guide Mike was definitely the best! He made what was already a beautiful tour even better. We were able to stop and see the very picturesque scenery up close without being rushed. No questions went left unanswered as he was very knowledgeable about the town and history of the tour itself.

We took the 2.5 hour tour with Andy from the cruise ship terminal. He was an excellent guide and kept us entertained throughout the drive with interesting information and stories.
Taking a minibus tour to the white pass summit is a good alternative to the train as it allows for various stops for photos en route, is cheaper and provides, IMO, for a more personal guide service.
Our tour slso included a stop at the gold rush graveyard which is a good 30 minute walk out of town.

Our tour guide, Doug, was an excellent source of the history of Skagway! He was completely delightful. Skagway was a delightfully scenic town set in the beauty of Alaska. We loved Doug’s storytelling about the gold rush and the early settlers. I cannot recommend this tour enough. The bus was comfortable and it was especially nice on a slightly rainy day!

We opted for the van excursion instead of the train ride. It was definitely an exciting experience. The tour guide Mike did an excellent job in telling historical facts and also made all the stops for us to savor the place and the moment and even took our photos. It was a chilly, rainy and no sun but despite all that, there was not a moment of disappointment here. Mike was superb, he must love his job. The lady who booked our tour was also very nice and explained well what was to be expected. Worth every penny and precious time.

Our guide, Connor, was very personable and well informed about the area. I liked the walk through the cemetery to the waterfall the best. The scenery was nice but not as impressive as I expected. There were only five people on our bus which made it a lot more like a private tour.

Beautiful scenery on a restored vintage narrow gauge train, with very well maintained and clean cars, which were very comfortable. Plenty of windows, so all passengers had good views. No matter on which side of the train you sat, as your view was from one side going, and the other side on return. The history of the area was well explained during the trip. Due to Canadian restrictions, the train no longer crosses the border, but we felt the trip was fine anyway. Our tour company added a bus tour of the town, which was a nice addition.

Frontier Excursions met us at the port and were very organized with an extremely clean tour bus. Patrick was our awesome guide. He shared a lot of historical and current events along our ride to the summit and around the town of Skagway. We enjoyed seeing beautiful waterfalls, a view of the train in motion, the majestic mountains, hearing about bears(but fortunately did not come across) and a scenic overview of Skagway. Definitely recommend.

Interesting tour and stories about Skagway and the Yukon Gold rush. Mike, our tour guide, was excellent! He is knowledgeable about Skagway history as well as what’s happening in Skagway today. He has a great sense of humor and many interesting stories! Highly recommend his tours!

Super professional in any contact I had with them. I talked with Chris (I guess is the owner) to understand some details about the trip and he was excellent to talk with, then I communicated with Katie in the office and it was a pleasure. I highly recommend this company for your excursions in Skagway.

Are you wheelchair accessible? We’re heading out for a cruise Friday.
Cris Siegel
Skagway, AK
Our buses do not have a wheelchair lift however we take guests that have some mobility but use a folding wheelchair for longer walking distances if they are able to board the bus by going up a few steps into the bus. Please notify us directly if you have limited mobility and use a walker or want to bring a folding wheelchair as we then know that for space needed on the bus to store the item. Also we can reserve a front seat. I am sorry we didn't see this message sooner for your situation but wanted to comment so future travelers would know.

Our cruise docks in Haines on Wednesday 28th of August.
We have to take the ferry to get to Skagway for the train. There is no way we can get there by 8.30 am.
Is there a later tour ?
Cris Siegel
Skagway, AK
Traveling from Haines to reach Skagway for our tours can be done but does involve a roundtrip on the Haines Skagway Fast Ferry and not all tour departure times we offer can work with the Ferry schedule. There is also the added expense of the Ferry trip. If someone is interested in this for future reservations you can contact us directly for more guidance. We are sorry we couldn't get you on a tour on August 28th.

Passports are required. Some nationalities require Canadian and/or USA Visa. USA or Canadian citizens do not require Visas, only Passports.

What type of clothing is recommended for this tour? We're travelling Aug 2019
Cris Siegel
Skagway, AK
Weather can vary from mid-50s to 70s. Perhaps even a bit cooler at the White Pass summit in later August. Dressing in layers allows to add or remove items depending on the weather along the tour route. Comfortable clothes and shoes are recommended and jacket most often needed unless is a warmer sunny day. Weather at the White Pass will be cooler than by the ship.

Is this excursion wheelchair accessible? My partner has a collapsible electric chair, but can travel short distances on crutches, and can get on and off transport.
Cris Siegel
Skagway, AK
The easiest type of wheelchair we can accommodate is the folding manual kind just due to size and weight. Generally electric scooters are heavier and harder for our staff to take on and off the bus multiple times. But if it can be made smaller in several pieces it may work if you can assist. You can always contact us for more information.

Hi, JKKildeer. What would you like to know about this attraction?
Some of the reviews mention a train portion of this tour, but in the description there isn't any mention of the train. I heard that it is best to do the bus up and the train down. Am I missing something that I should know?
Thank you,

This tour is a roundtrip by mini-bus tour to see the White Pass and city sights. It is not by train.
