Mountains, waterfalls, lakes and railroad. - Scott was a great driver and storyteller. Stopped at best sights all the way up white pass and into Canada. Awesome scenery! Actually tasted a pair of glacial "waterfalls" he named gin and tonic. Cemetery walk was topped by huge waterfall outside of Skagway.

Good excursion for Skagway - Good excursion. The driver (Sam) made lots of stops and allowed time for pictures. In town check in and pick up was super easy. Purchase yummy popcorn for the drive. At the end of tour we had the option to be dropped back in town or go directly to the dock. We appreciate the ease with this excursion.

Delightful Excursion - A drive up the mountain pass through the mist. Interesting information on the Klondike Gold Rush and the town of Skagway. Lovely scenery. Interesting local craft shops, if you avoid the cruise ship promoted retailers.

Horrible experience, ruined our day - My boyfriend and I booked a tour to go to the White Pass Summit. It turned out that the tour was just us and a group of 11 people that never showed up, so it was canceled. While I do understand that it is not profitable to do the tour with a small amount of people, we were told that the group of 11 were not getting a refund. I don’t understand why couldn’t they take us on the tour if they were still keeping the money of all the people that didn’t show up. It is absolutely ridiculous and definitely not the proper way of treating customers.
As the tour was at 2:30 pm, we couldn’t find another viable option and we didn’t make it to the White Pass Summit. This company ruined our day and took away our chance of visiting that beautiful place. Do not book with them, they are greedy and unreliable.

No go, no refund, book through cruise company next time - Unable to experience due to my ship avoiding docking at Skagway from high wind. Unable to cancel and losing all amount paid. Learned not to book any excursion not offered by the cruise company.

F- - In 16 cruises we made about 60 shore excursions and the one in Skagway was without a doubt the worst. On Broadway, between 2nd and 3rd Ave, meeting place unclear. We enter a store, the seller doesn't want to understand that we already have tickets and we are looking for the meeting place, he keeps telling us to buy from him. We leave irritated and without buying an (expensive!) toy that we wanted to give as a gift. The bus arrives late and the guide (R...? as it were) is disoriented, he doesn't know which group he has. He doesn't know how to adjust the temperature in the bus. And worst of all, he has a terrible voice, he screams almost all the time and doesn't shut up even for a second! I came down with an intense headache. That's all I remember from this trip to the shore.
