What To Expect
Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park Visitor Center
Journey back to 1898 as your local guide brings the Klondike Gold Rush to life. Follow the same rugged route taken by determined stampeders who climbed the White Pass Trail in search of fortune in the Yukon. You’ll explore historic Skagway, once a booming gateway town filled with prospectors, saloons and larger-than-life characters. Today, its preserved wooden storefronts and mountain backdrop make it one of Alaska’s most photogenic ports.

5.00We had an incredible experience on our tour in Skagway today! The owner personally guided our small private group, and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip. She was so knowledgeable and shared fascinating stories about the area that made the experience even more memorable. She took us to all the most beautiful scenic spots and made sure everyone had plenty of opportunities to enjoy the views and take pictures. What stood out most was how much passion she has for what she does. You could tell she genuinely loves sharing the history and beauty of Skagway with her guests, and that enthusiasm made the tour feel very special and personal. If you're visiting Skagway and want a more intimate, informative, and unforgettable experience, I highly recommend this tour!
