This is the tour you want to take! - Simply outstanding! We has such a good time. There were only 11 on the tour so it felt like you got personal attention. Marisa is very knowledgeable and outgoing. We got great information and sites you couldn’t get on the big ship excursions. The dog sledding was a great experience and we saw some wildlife along the way. She gave us some excellent recommendations for shopping and food when we got back to town as well. Avoid the “canned” tours from the boats and get a tour from someone that obviously loves what she does!

Great views and fun with the dogs. - Great experience. We knew we were going to get time with the dogs, but the ride up to the camp was filled a number of stops to take in the scenic views in the mountains. Marissa was a great tour guide. The dog camp was great; we enjoyed the interaction with all the dogs. Definitely recommend.

The BEST day - We had a most memorable day in skagway two weeks ago with Marissa. She is an awesome guide- friendly , funny and organized. She told us quite a bit of the history of the area but in and interesting and often humerous way. We took the tour to the sled dog camp and it was outstanding. The scenery along the ride is just gorgeous and the ride is filled with Marissa's excellent commentary. And then there is the puppies. I could have sat with those fluffy little furballs all day. The sled dog ride was so much fun with gorgeous scenery surrounding us. I have tremendous respect for those dogs.They are true athletes and really enjoy their job. The brief talk about the Iditarod was interesting and it is clear that the dogs are well cared for . On our way back Marissa spotted two bears and we were able to stop and see them up close. I cannot recommend this trip and Marissa highly enough.It was a day we will never forget.

Fully recommended! - Fully recommend Alaska Sunbird tours to anyone visiting Skagway! It's always refreshing to find someone passionate about their profession and Marissa is a prime example of this! Her knowledge and passion is so wonderful to experience. She gave an indepth tour on the history of the goldrush, funny stories on the local area, geeked out on the formation on glaciers, on our drive, which we fully enjoyed. The puppies were adorable, the views gorgeous and the whole experience was unforgettable! Can't thank Marissa enough for making our first visit to Skagway memorable.
