Great Experience, Excellent Alternative to Cruise Ship Excursion - Phenomenal tour. We had originally booked to take the White Pass Railway from Skagway and a visit to a mushers camp through our cruise company, but when I searched Viator on a lark, I found this tour. I am SO grateful that I did. This tour was less expensive by half and included both activities. Also, this tour gave us the opportunity to stop and take lots of photos and actually take in the scenery instead of watching it whizz past us on the train. Our tour guide, Eric, was an absolute treasure. He was amiable, knowledgeable and was very in-tune with the types of photo ops the group would enjoy. The trip to the Yukon was exactly what I'd hoped for, between getting to stop at the Welcome to the Yukon sign, to seeing all of the gorgeous waterfalls and lakes - it was incredible. We enjoyed our stop at Carcross. You might consider it the typical "tourist trap" sort of place, but it was actually really quaint and cute. The prices in the souvenir shop were some of the best we'd seen through our tour of Alaska. Not to mention they actually had items made locally, rather than mostly Made in China. Lunch was good - nothing fancy - but still hit the spot. We appreciated the unlimited free coffee, tea, and donuts as well. Visiting the dogs, many of whom are up for adoption through the Humane Society of Whitehorse, was a real treat. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Skagway, and if you're lucky enough to have Eric as your guide, it will be an incredible experience.

Wonderful stops! - I really appreciated the opportunities to stop along the way. Stopping at Tutshi Lake and Emerald Lake was fantastic! We had heard so much about the train, but so glad we decided on this excursion. The Caribou Crossing stop was really nice-perfect to stretch legs and learn a little more about the Yukon history, yummy lunch and fun animals.

Excellent tour, driver and memorable experience!! - We had an amazing time! We arrived on the Koningsdam ship, I was unable to get service to call until we got off to find out our meetup point and thankfully, they were able to pick us up on their way out. Our driver was Noah, he was both hilarious and informed. He gave us plenty time at all the stops to let our 2 year old run around and for us to get pictures. Lunch was delicious, we had a great experience because he got us there before all the big buses arrived so we didn’t have to wait to eat or find a seat. I would definitely recommend this tour, we got to see many things we wouldn’t have been able to see on a train or with a bigger tour group because we were able to stop places, smaller group so we could ask questions and we had space on the small bus to spread out and it the drive through the mountains on the narrow road also felt safer on a smaller bus. The tour was also perfect because we got to be dropped off downtown. Arriving at 3 allowed us time to walk through all the shops and sightsee a bit. Loved this tour, glad we were able to experience it and see the Yukon.

Trip spoiled by all the waiting about to start - We were told to arrive 30 minutes before but ended up hanging about for an hour because they didn’t have a driver. Now they must have known this prior to trip because she explained seasonal staff had gone back home. So we hung about waiting for the driver to arrive. The trip itself was okay. Basically lots of scenic stops and a visit to the mushers station which was good.
