Great excursion, got to stop at a lot of beautiful waterfalls and overlooks, our guide D-Hawk had a great personality.
Very informative, beautiful scenery and overall great experience. D-Hawk our tour guide was very entertaining.
We booked this excursion for Skagway when we went on our cruise to Alaska! It was absolutely amazing and the scenery was breathtaking! The tour bus was very comfortable and the driver was so much fun! He was so considerate, helpful and provided us with lots of interesting facts along the way of the history of the trip to the Klondike! Highly recommend this excursion to anyone visiting Skagway! Thank you for allowing me to capture these beautiful photos that we will treasure forever!!
Highly bewtifull views, falls, nature. We enjoyd everything. The guide is very friendly, explained everything duribg the way'
Shorter than the cruise tours and still went over all the highlights. Half our family did a different tour through the cruise that was twice as long and they were exhausted by the end. Would recommend for older crowds and people traveling with kids.
Multiple stops for photo taking. BEAUTIFUL!! Our guide Len was friendly and informative, making this that much more enjoyable
The driver was very informative and knowledgeable about the local area and provided some good information.
The tour and guide was very informative and fun! He pointed out and named the waterfalls, let us take pictures. It was a beautiful drive.
This was a great tour. Many great photo opportunities with breathtaking views of nature! The driver was incredibly accommodating!
Quick trip. Professional company and driver. Excellent communication. First stop at waterfall was by far the best aspect of the trip. The other stops were along the highway and provided nice views but fairly routine. Daniel the driver did a nice job and was professional and polite.
