Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Dennis was a great guide, funny, knowledgeable, and a safe driver. We had a rainy day for our tour but he made the best of it and by the end of the day we had hit all the stops. The scenery is beautiful. The lunch break at CarCross dog sled attraction was fun. Very easy going and flexible.

Beautiful scenery. A lot of stops for photo oppertunities made this trip special. The train does not stop. Our tour guide Beth was very good. Absolutely recommend this tour.

We were in Skagway for the day on a cruise ship. Our excursion was early morning and left us with no plans for the day. We came across the tour while walking the city and gave them a go. We were admiring their building, the old hotel when we heard about the tour. It was rainy out so we thought it would be a great escape from the rain. We had Garrett as our driver. He was great! Garrett has lived in the are for many years and know the area. He made the trip fun while giving us background and history of Skagway. We rode up to The White Pass summit, since it was so gloomy out we went a little farther to get under some of the cloud cover. He took us to an outlook to see a beautiful view of the lake. We stopped at an amazing waterfall for pictures. We visited the Gold Rush Cemetery where he told us the story of Soapy Smith, we were also able to take the trail up to Reid Falls. It was a great day with Garrett and we would go again to hear more about Alaska history.

We had a great experience on the White Pass Railroad. The scenery was excellent. Every turn revealed another breathtaking view. The narration on the train was informative and entertaining. We were able to go out on the observation platform at each end of the train car to take videos and photos, and we took advantage of it.

Bottled water was included and each railroad car had a rest room.

Awesome is the word I would use. A great value for the money, and the highlight of our trip to Alaska.

After the train ride we stopped at Liarsville, which is a small historic encampment recreation outside Skagway where newspaper reporters invented "Fake News." which continues to this day. Instead of going to the prospector's claims themselves, the reporters stayed in Liarsville, and wrote stories about the prospector's adventures from second hand stories.

Liarsville included a campy but cute little show with live music, panning for gold, which was fun, and a delicious all-you-can-eat salmon bake with the salmon grilled over an open wood fire.

It is quite primitive, which gives it an authentic feel.

The highlight of the Skagway City Tour was a tour of the historic Red Onion Saloon and Brothel, which was informative and entertaining. The tour included a champagne toast. This is not a tour for little kids or young teens.

I remember seeing the Red Onion in the 1953 Jimmy Stewart Movie "The Far Country," and the tour described the Saloon during the gold rush as it was depicted in the movie.

It was a great day. We recommend the train, Liarsville, and the Red Onion highly.

While we are glad you enjoyed your day in Skagway, this is not our tour product. This sounds like a tour booked directly with the cruise lines. We do not offer any train tours or tours at the Red Onion saloon.

Our guide was very informed and gave us a great tour up to White Pass and even further than that. She was funny and let us have time to see many things. It was a tour with only about 23 people and the bus was very comfortable. I would recommend this tour.

We went on an Alaska cruise with a stop in Skagway. This excursion was one of the best of all on our cruise. We had a small group in a comfortable tour van and a great driver / tour guide, who took pictures for us as well. Because of our group size, we were able to make more frequent stops to get out, walk around and take photos than the large tour buses could do. And we were able to speak with our guide, ask questions, and have a discussion. All this made for a terrific day. We returned with plenty of time to have a walk around town, and get back to our ship before departing. And we had new knowledge and understanding of this remote and beautiful area.

The train ride was so beautiful and a little scary at some points as I'm not a fan of heights. The scenery was breathtaking. The guide explained so much about all of the areas we viewed and the history. A must do

Andrew was an amazing story teller and historian. As he drove us through the streets of Skagway he pointed out the various historical buildings of note and expanded where he could. This was an amazing excursion and I recommend it to any one.
