5.00We had the absolute best time on this tour and our guide Will was the absolute best! What an honor to be part of his final tour group of the 2025 season. We did White Pass Railway in the morning and then opted for this tour in the afternoon because we had a feeling we’d get to see and explore so much more and BOY, we were right! The stop-and-go style of this tour was perfect for sightseeing and photos ops. Will was a great driver, had a great personality, was very informative and took great photos for us! As expected, the foliage was gorgeous for mid-October and the temps were perfect (not that it mattered too much because the bus was a perfect temperature.) We also got very lucky that the fog lifted just as we arrived at the Welcome to Alaska sign… and the fog returned just as we were leaving. 10/10 - I’d recommend to anyone visiting Skagway for the first time.

5.00The tour guide was easy to find when we got off the cruise ship. We were glad we chose this instead of the train. The photo stops were so beautiful. Also getting to take our photo with the welcome to Alaska sign was a big bonus. We have visited all 49 states and Alaska was our last to get to. Connor was a great tour guide.
Great tour with Will

5.00I opted for this excursion instead of the train, as I was traveling solo. I wanted to experience white pass in a smaller group to get a better experience. This tour exceeded my expectations. Our tour guide Will, was fantastic! Very charismatic and knowledgeable. He made sure we all got our pictures at the “Alaska” sign! I’d highly recommend this tour!

5.00It depends a lot on the weather and that is not to blame the Company. Willy was a friend rather than a guide Thanks for everything and for a photo
