The tour guides here really make the experience. Multiple reviewers single out guides like Garrett, Raymond, Brenton, and Rebecca for their knowledge, storytelling ability, and genuine passion for the region. People consistently mention how these guides bring the landscape to life with local history and humor, making stops at waterfalls, scenic viewpoints, and sometimes spotting wildlife like mountain goats and bears along the way. The various tours, especially those heading up to White Pass Summit and into the Yukon, get enthusiastic recommendations. Many travelers note this is a better value than cruise ship excursions while offering the same spectacular scenery with more photo opportunities. The buses are comfortable, groups stay manageable in size, and the overall vibe is friendly and personable. A couple of reviews mention disappointment with cancellations due to no-shows from larger parties, which left those travelers unable to rebook. These instances seem isolated, but if you're on a tight schedule, it's worth confirming your tour details. Overall, the guides' expertise and the stunning Alaskan scenery create memorable experiences that travelers rave about.
We found this company through Shore Excursions and took the Skagway City Tour and White Pass shuttle instead of the train. You see the same sights up the mountain but Southeast stops for photo ops at many of the spectacular scenic views. Our driver, Garrett, was friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and he made our short time in Skagway fun and enjoyable. Southeast offers several tours of various lengths. We highly recommend them instead of the more expensive cruise ship excursion options. Thank you, Southeast Tours for a great experience far from home
