This tour was worth every penny. The views were breathtaking, and the suspension bridge provided thrills and great photo ops. Our guide Connor kept us entertained and was knowledgeable.
The tour to the summit and the Yukon Suspension Bridge was amazing. Our guide Drake was great! He was very informative and knew the history of the places we traveled to. He gave us plenty of time at each of the stops and managed our time well. I highly recommend this tour since we were able to stop at the amazing stops to take in the scenery and stretch our legs.
Enjoyable excursion off the boat!! 45 min to explore at the suspension bridge then stops along the way back for amazing photos. Guide, Connor was excellent!!
Relaxing but still an opportunity to see many of Alaska’s beautiful sights with informative (and entertaining) commentary along the way.
Great experience, knowledgeable personnel Drake was our tour guide. He was amazing! Stopped at all the stops and had plenty of time to take pictures and take in all the scenery.
Excellent tour! Tour guide Drake was awesome. Most informative & personable. Highly recommended. Well organized.
We enjoyed this option more than the train because we got to make stops along the way to take in the views and enjoy the sunny weather. We had plenty of time at each of the stops and weren't rushed. The suspension bridge was great. Be sure to explore the area on the other side of the bridge for a different/better view of the river and bridge.
I don’t know why people are afraid to book this tour with a tour operator instead of the cruise line thinking that don’t be back on time for the departing . Wrong . 4 ships in Skagway and only my husband and I and another couple booked it . Lucky we . Stopped everywhere we want without restrictions of time . The tour guide was well informed about the area , beautiful scenery and the perfect combination of bus after take the train ride . We really enjoyed it and were very happy with this decision . Give them a chance . They pick you up at the exit of the gangway from the ship and if you want at the end can drop you at the downtown and you come back to the ship by your own . Thank you thank you thank you
Beautiful area. KJ was an excellent guide. Guide gave us interesting information along the drive. Great pictures.
