The best time! You - We had such a fun time on this excursion. My family of 10 came along and all of us had a blast. From the beautiful scenery to the super fun time on the scooters this excursion is 10 out of 10. Our guide, Acton was fantastic! He took us to beautiful outlooks and gave us insight about the different areas. You definitely feel like you get to See and learn more about the beautiful town of Skagway!

Highly Recommend This Tour! - My finance and I considered this to be one of the best parts of our cruise. The scooter tour is an incredible way to see some of Skagway outside of the tourist-centric Main Street area. Plus, our tour guide Axton gave of some interesting historical details about the area from the Klondike Gold-rush days. Overall, we highly recommend this tour!

Book it! You won't regret it - Rented two scooters (never ridden before, but if you can ride a bike you can ride a scooter) for five hours and simply explored every path we could find up the Dyea! There's a reason why Skagway Scooters has such great reviews! Even though we didn't go on the guided tour, we would occasionally pass groups on the tour and the employees would always give a little honk, wave, and a nod! If you're not the type to sit on a train and look and scenery, but more of the type to get up and close to nature, this is a no-brainer!

A definate must if you want to be outdoors and do something exciting while learning some history! - Really fun tour. Shane and Axton were our guides. We met in town and were transported by minivan to the scooter location less than 5 min away. We were the only ones that day on the tour so we had lots of attention and all our questions were answered as we travelled around. We were given boots, coats, pants, a helmet with visor, and gloves with knuckles for protection against the cold, wind, rain etc which was great so you don't need to bring anything extra. The scooters were in excellent condition. We had a training session ( I had never ridden a motorized bike before) and an opportunity to practice in the lot until we felt comfortable to go out on the roads. Shane was in front followed by me and then my husband and then Axton. They were both very attentive to us, keeping an eye on us and pulling over if any large buses or vehicles were approaching. We stopped at several view points and learned about the history of Skagway and all about the goldrush. Our second last stop was the entrance to the trail used during the goldrush that covers 66 miles where gold seekers had to carry 2000lbs of supplies ( enough to last a year) in order to be allowed to search for gold. Our final stop was the famous graveyard where the lawless and lawful were buried and a beautiful waterfall. It was a wonderful experience and we learned a lot of interesting facts and even saw a bear! Many interesting stories and facts to be heard amongst gorgeous scenery.
