Skagway White Pass Railroad Summit Excursion & Train Tour

Loved the narrative & information provided on the ride.

IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST-LOVED IT.

Very informative. Well organized tour.

Good for train and history enthusiast interested in development of region during the Klondike gold rush. I would have enjoyed a stop along the way to exit train and see a meaningful site or 2 if only for just a few minutes but overall I recommend this excursion

very nice

An enjoyable and relaxing experience where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery and learn about the fortunes of those who went searching for gold. Seeing some remains of the pathway, from the train, that these people followed, made it hit home just how hard this life would have been. At times it was a little hard to hear the commentary which was a bit frustrating, but a useful map and guide was provided on the train.

The train ride was neat. The guides made the trip interesting. Would recommend this excursion.

Beautiful views and excellent narration

It was a great adventure. I am glad that I chose it.

The scenery on this train ride was stunning and the commentary provided by our tour guide was very good.

Excellent

Awesome trip and got great photos!

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the train experience. Unfortunately the only day the Ovation of the Seas is in Skagway (Monday) is the day the Carcross to Skagway train does not run. Views are spectacular along with rich and deep history. A suggestion for the railway is to have speakers on the outside of the cars where people are allowed to stand. Unfortunately I stood out there for most of the ride but missed a lot of the narration happening inside the cars. Great job of updating the engines and cars but maintaining the nostalgicness.

Fantastic!

This was a good experience to do one time, but it is not something I would do a second time if I were to return.

Awesome sites. Very good audio tour guide and long enough to keep it interesting. Will recommend to others. Thank you!

Unbelievable train ride.

The tour went off on schedule and was great fun. I had read a book about the gold rush many years ago as a child, and this tour brought the history of the gold rush alive

Comfortable seats, spectacular views with bonus of bear and armadillo sightings, what more could you ask for.

The train ride was a little hot since the weather was warm

Very informative, spectacular views. Enjoyed the train ride.

This is the best thing to do when in Skagway. You won't be dissatisfied.

Was pretty but my kids got bored.

Totally reconditioned rail system and cars. Awesome views and great history. This is a great family tour and the kids will love it. This tour again was well done by great people. This can be booked directly through Alaska Shhore Excursions and save money. Cruise ships just mark up the same tour. Need to put this tour on your bucket list!

Excellent train ride

The views were beautiful, but there was very very little narration. For the Bridal Veil Falls we heard "And on your left is Bridal Veil Falls." I was told there would be narration and for 9/ per ticket there should be.

OMG!!!!!!!!!! What a great train ride. The tour people were outstanding telling us all about how the train came about and everything that happened while building it and answered all questions with no problem at all. And what can I say about the view. The most beautiful scenery I have ever seen.

A must do when in Skagway. Kind staff...and nice ride on the train.

Amazing views and service. This is a must do when you are in Skagway!

I enjoyed the narrative and the beauty of the Alaskan wilderness.

Fantastic scenery.

Fantastic

Loved it!

Awesome experience! It was the highlight of our Alaska trip!

Nice scenic experience

The excursion was fantastic and I would highly recommend it!

Excellent tour, good value for the money. Our guide was fantastic, just the right amount of humor and facts to make the time pass nicely. Would highly recommend this tour.

We enjoyed a great ride with a guide from New Hampshire in our car. So much beauty, history, and fun. Thanks for running a great operation.

Great trip, beautiful scenery and a grate comentary

It was an awesome experience. One we will never forget. Beautiful scenery and the staff was very informative of the history. I recommend this trip for anyone.

Enjoyed the relaxing train ride. Great views but friends who took a bus tour came back with some incredible photos of a great deal more wild life including black bear and very large brown bear.

Fun adventure seeing and hearing about the adventures of the Yukon trailblazers!

This tour was amazing. I wish we could have taken the longer tour but were not there on a day it was offered. Breath-taking scenes and great guide information.

Unfortunately the fog and clouds kept us from seeing much, too bad cause the little we did see was incredible...otherwise we enjoyed ourselves.

Excellent tour guides on the train, breath taking views, would do again.

Wonderful views, interesting history to the pass with informative guide. The ride is on the slow side rather than action packed, so kids can get a little bored

Forward rail car door would not stay shut. This made it difficult to hear the intercom, constantly let in cold air, and therefore made it very difficult to enjoy.

Pleasant but a bit too bland for me. Reflection in the windows made quality photography near impossible.

This trip was okay. It was well run, but not too exciting for kids. In my opinion, this trip is best for adults who want to see some great views of Alaska.

Beautiful scenery, a lot of historical information

Fabulous train ride. Amazingly beautiful scenery!!!

Beautiful views and an enjoyable ride. We had a great time on the train!

This trip was full of history, learning how this railroad was constructed. We had a fabulous day .

Good time for the entire family. Very well orchestrated.

A very thrilling ride and excellent informative narrative by our guide.

We lucked out and had beautiful weather. The mountains are gorgeous. The tour was just the right length - the kids weren't bored - and we saw some amazing scenery. Narration was interesting and informative.

if you want a nice ride up the mountain and want to spend the rest of the day shopping and exploring Skagway, this is the excursion you want. It was absolutely beautiful. Very informative and loved, loved, loved the scenery. It made us want to come back and vacation longer in Skagway.

Great experience!

Absolutely exhilarating!

Very good excursion...great service and scenery.

Amazing views of such a stunning state! We enjoyed every minute of this relaxing and informative tour.

beautiful scenery

The guide was knowledge and the views were beautiful.

This was a very relaxing tour with fantastic views of Skagway, mountains, the summit, and several waterfalls. If you're in to photography, this tour has some perfect shots for your portfolio! We were close to the edge of the mountain a lot of the ride, which may not be the best for anyone with a fear of heights, but it was a very safe train ride with a great crew giving fun facts along the way. Having to wait for other trains to pass was a little annoying, but since we were the last tour of the day, we only had to wait for a couple trains on the way up, and had a smooth non-stop ride back down.

Good afternoon trip

Awesome and a must do when in Skagway.

It was great

Diesel fumes were suffocating. No air circulating in cars to offset. Scenery was spectacular but couldn't wait to get off the train.

Awesome excursion where you don't have to walk!

Awesome! The best train ride ever, sites were unbelievable.

Train was comfortable and everyone was knowledgeable and friendly. Nice trip that you couldn't see any other way.

This was an amazing way to see parts of Alaska that you wouldn't get to see by car. We enjoyed this excursion and it was more than what we imagined. Lots of history and information and they were very in tuned to our needs and questions. Would recommend this for sure.

Great views, friendly well informed commentators. A must do experience. Hint, sit on the left hand side for the best views on the way up so that you can snooze on the way back if you want.

Fantastic train ride through very spectacular scenery. Well organized, vintage carriages comfortable but got a bit warm....nice to stand outside though. Well worth doing.

A wonderful, once in a lifetime experience!

Beautiful country to see. I got beautiful pictures. You go up into Canada. I loved the train ride it has a place for you to go outside and ride.

Breathtaking train ride! ...incredible and unique scenery! recommended to anyone that goes to Skagway...it's a must!

Riding the train was a great way to see the landscape in Skagway. We passed by some amazing scenic areas and the length of the ride was a perfect balance for enjoying my time and not feeling like I spent too much time doing any one thing. Some of my favorite photos were from this excursion.

Best train ride ever! Highly recommend this experience. Very well organized and great guide. Scenery is incredible.

This was one the best tours we experienced on our cruise to Alaska. Easy to book online, tickets waiting for us at the office. The railroad scenery and history narrated by the guide on board led to greater understanding of the hardships faced by hopeful miners during the gold rush. One tour not to be missed. While there Skagway is a fascinating town to stroll around and shop or window shop.

Excellent scenery. Viewing was good inside train and train cars allowed outside viewing from platform between cars.

Great journey, very helpful and informative commentary. Great little train. Enjoyed a lot!

Very good tour. Had a blast. Loved going out on the platform for taking pictures without looking through glass.

Amazing ride around the Alaskan snow capped mountains view as the narrator colorfully explained our surroundings allowed us to experience a unique adventure. The valleys, the waterfalls, the snow and the terrain was picturesque and surreal.

A long train ride through the mountains above Skagway accompanied by an excellent historical narration by our Conductor. Absolutely beautiful and well worth the fare.

Great scenic railroad. Awesome views. Saw a bear. Take pictures of the train as it makes turns in and out of tunnels and trestles. Great views at he summit of white pass.

Great tour! We boarded the railcars at a different location than the cruise ship passengers who booked through the cruiseline did, but it was the same train and this saved us some money on an already very expensive vacation. The company guarantees you will be back and with the others on the same train, we felt confident booking this excursion through this company. The scenery was incredible and the narration was entertaining and interesting.

Thoroughly enjoyed this excursion. Good photo opportunities and onboard staff were very friendly. Free bottled water was nice touch.

A must do tour! Beautiful views on this scenic railroad. Comfortable train cars and informative tour guides.

Enjoyed the whole experience.

Awesome trip. The sights and sounds were majestic. We got to go outside on the lookout desk. Im still blown away by all the beauty. There is no way somebody could get it with words. You have to experience it

Great experience!!

Beautiful scenery and a great train ride! The only downside is you come back by the same places you saw earlier that day. :0)

View was fantastic, when it appeared. Saw lots of trees.

Nice narration.

Great way to see rugged Alaska. The train was comfortable with great views of the landscape. We will do it again on our next trip.

The scenery was so beautiful and it was a lot of fun. The left side of the train on the way up is the best.

A must tour that everyone traveling to Alaska needs to do. Great service and good rates compared to ship excursion rates!

Excellent.

The tour was very well executed....great information...and photo opportunities highlighted beforehand....love the train experience and would highly recommend....

It was on top of the highlights of our trip. Would highly recommend this excursion to anyone.

Easy arrangements. Excellent narrator Dan on the train. Great experience!

The traditional choice for anyone visiting Skagway, AK for the first time. It gave the history of the region along side breathtaking scenery. There are a few train rides with diffferent routes and you should research a little and choose which is best for your schedule.

The railroad summit excursion was very good. We enjoyed seeing all the scenery going up and down the mountain. The narrator was great and easy to understand.

Fantastic trip. Every where you looked there was something to see that was breathtaking. The great weather helped emencely ! There were eight in our group and we all had a great time !

Love the train well maintained and the history of the railroad. Thank you for the unforgettable experience.

Great experience. Super landscape and history. Commentary was fun and crew were very nice and helpful! 10 out of 10 !

What a great experience from beginning to end. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The history of the pass was extremely interesting. If we get back to Alaska we will book with this company again..

The car we were leaked rain from the roof inside onto us and our seat for about an hour. It was quite a pricey excursion to keep having to wipe water off the seat and us. The trip itself was fine. The tour guide was great.

A great experience, just a bit cloudy the day we were there just would have been better with the sun out like in the video. Great video, gutsy hard real men. An amazing heritage construction and ongoing business that should be preserved for all time for future generations.

Fantastic trip, everything we expected - Liz Wood UK

Really enjoyed the train ride. Wonderful scenery and good guides.

This excursion was excellent. The white pass railroad was amazing. The train, the view. Can't say enough positive things about this trip.

Absolutely amazing. Really enjoyed oour trip. The fact that they were able to build the railway in such conditions is miraculous. Great guide also.

Nice ride staff well educated on history of the area

A wonderful excursion! Great sights, knowledgeable guide!!

Great tour. Beautiful scenery. Friendly staff

Wonderful views and a great train ride. I would highly recommend this excursion to anyone visiting Skagway.

This excursion was wonderful, narrating was good. Sadly, the skys were a little overcast, but the train ride was great. Old bridges/passes/tunnels very cool. I would book this again and would recommend it highly. You are able to venture outside your train to take pictures. Being a Canadian, it was nice to cross the boarder into Canada even for a few minutes.... Book this you won't regret it.

Very organized and ran on time.

My group enjoyed this Skagway White pass Railroad Summit Excursion.

Exceptional! What a great experience.

Excellent Excursion

Very exciting- highly recommended to take this excursion

Great way to see the beauty and vastness of the area!

This was a nice and tranquil experience. Beautiful scenery and a moderator gave us the history of the railroad.

Beautiful scenery! Was nice to sit back and enjoy the ride.

Recommended. The tour is not too long and most beautiful. You learn a lot about the gold rush. Great pictures along the way.

Beautiful scenery

Excellent excursion with spectacular views after the first 30 minutes of the ascent. Very informative narration by the onboard guide. Doesn't matter which side you sit because everyone switches sides at the summit, although the descent is at faster speed. Highly recommended excursion.

Great experience!

Beautiful scenery! Spectacular views! At times seemed rushed

Views were great. Don't get in a cart close to engine because the smoke was bad if you open the door and the door is the only way to get air (windows don't open and it was hot in the car).

Fantastic trip. Just so happened that our car was only about one third full so we could sit wherever and did not have to switch sides. Was able to get some great pictures. Guide was very good also. Will definitly reccommend this to trip to anyone.

We really enjoyed riding the train! The scenery was spectacular. The seats are small for larger people, but you can get up and walk around. And if you are clever, you can sit by yourself. Just about the right length.

This was a fun excursion on a hot day. Everyone likes to ride a train and with a very good guide aboard we learnt plenty of local history. The views up the top were wonderful and you could see for miles. It would have been great to get out for 5-10 minutes but with the timetable this is not possible. It was fun to do this first before then touring such an interesting and historic town.

Great excursion with the most beatyfull views.

Great way to see Alaska!

Great experience, Thank you!

The train ride was nice, however it is a bit overpriced.

A beautiful trip. Things were perfect - thank you!

This was a great excursion that my whole family enjoyed, from ages 18-73. The narrator was very knowledgeable about the Gold Rush and we enjoyed he beautiful scenery. It was nice to be able to stand outside on the platform to catch some really good pictures on the ride. The walk to the train station was a little farther than we expected. We were glad that we booked this excursion.

Enjoyed this excursion very much. Had breathtaking views. Had bottled water on board, which was nice.

I loved the scenery. It was quite an experience. I recommend this for anyone who has the time.

This rail trip was the best ever! We had a great carriage because my son Anthony is wheelchair bound so there was extra space for the families to play. The views were out of this world and the staff were so friendly and helpful! I would love to be able to do this trip again! Thank you !

Breathtaking scenery up to the Yukon territory. Nice train ride up the mountain and back down, so if you miss taking a picture on the way up, you can get it on the way back down.

The personnel were very friendly and knowledgeable.

Fantastic excursion. it was very informative and well run. We would certainly recommend it.

Excellent- not to be missed

Great fun and full of wonderful information. It wasn't just a train ride with beautiful scenery, it was also a time to learn interesting facts and the history of the White Pass.

Weather wasnt the best. But trip was informative and what we could see was great. Would recommend the excursion.

Pity the train takes the same journey back as to the summit. Was good, but not great.

We had a great time. It was beautiful scenery and very informative information. Would recommend to everyone.

Trip was beautiful and informative.

Really a great experience! The Train is a must-do in Skagway. Train was clean and comfortable. One side of the train gets better views, so they were kind enough to have everyone switch sides for the ride back down.

The train trip was relaxing but also lots of sights. We went over a trestle bridge as well as viewed an old trestle bridge no longer in use. It is amazing how they take the engine from front of train and put it on the train to venture down. Also how you can reverse the seats so that you are going down with the direction of the train. Well worth the money.

Great experience on narrow gauge railroad. Scenery was fantastic. Narration interesting. We had plenty of room. Restroom available. You can go out on the front and back deck of your rail car.

Train ride was awesome and the views were unbelievably. Train employees were very knowledgeable and informative.

Great Mountain View.

Great time on this adventure was wonderful we all enjoyed it.

This was an amazing excursion! We were traveling on the Norwegian Bliss ship and decided to book through Alaska Shore Excursions instead of through the cruise line. We saved some money and everything went smoothly. The staff at the railroad station is very friendly and informative. The train ride was awesome - breathtaking views and helpful narration throughout the ride. I highly recommend booking this excursion through Alaska Shore Excursions.

Fabulous scenery and very interesting narration.

Spectacular scenery, some breathtaking sections and well narrated points of interest. We really enjoyed it. Only negative was on trip to the summit. We were the second car back from the engine. It was a hot day so the front sliding door of our car was open for ventilation but this let in a lot of diesel exhaust. Yuk! Not a problem heading back as we were near the back of train.

Great train ride with lots of opportunities for awesome pictures. Staff was really nice. The only complaint was that it was hard to hear what the guide was saying due to the train.

Glorious scenery that takes you back in time to the gold rush days. Comfortable seating with large windows and a knowledgeable commentary pointing out highlights.

A great railway trip and a great testament to the pioneers who built the railway.

All members of our party enjoyed this trip. So very glad that we booked it as a shore excursion.

What a beautiful, informative, relaxing ride aboard your railroad! We took in the sights and enjoyed it immensely!

very nice tour to see the view of alaska's forest

This ride is phenomenal. The scenery is amazingly beautiful. The train is comfy and the tour guides were attentive and friendly. The mandatory seat exchange insured that everyone received the same experience. Would definitely recommend.

Very interesting, Great guides with good information. Awesome scenery-and lots of fun.

The views are incredible!

Our railroad excursion with you was fantastic! We saw the most breathtaking scenery and the members of your staff were very friendly, entertaining and efficient. It felt so good to ride on a train again, too! It had been a long time for me since I rode on a train. Thank you for a lovely time!

Fantastic! Sorry we couldn't go all the way to Carcross, but it was a terrific train ride.

The views were spectacular but the ride down gets a bit long. Bummed there was little wildlife to be found ... but that's wildlife for you!!

Nice view, peaceful ride, on time, comfortable train

We had lovely weather so that capped a memorable well organised ride. Well organised & impressive engineering to rise up this much in a short distance.

Very pretty and well organized company is easy to work with

Great trip, informative commentary very good idea to get everyone to swap seats for return trip so you get to see scenery on both sides.

Nice train with cool reversible seats ... great crew ... marvelous views. Wonderful experience.

Incredible journey. Beautiful scenery and amazing railway.

Wonderful experience! From the railroad terminal to the guides on the trip everyone was friendly and very informative. I would recommend this tour to any traveler that loves the nature and the vast mountain views of Alaska.

Such a beautiful and relaxing ride. They provided water for the journey and each train car has a restroom. There is lots of history to learn here and the conductor made it very entertaining. Highly recommend doing this excursion! There was a short walk into town to meet up for the train.

The staff was friendly, the train ride was gorgeous,a nd you got tons of facts and history. With restrooms, a heated car, and bottled water you had everything you needed. We got our most scenic shots from this train ride. There is a mandatory seat swap at the top so there are no bad seats because you will get a chance to be on the edge side. There are also platforms that you are allowed to stand on and take photos outside. Note that outside you can't hear any of the facts that are told by the train guide. Also this is a long train ride (I know the time is listed) so just keep in mind before booking. It was a great way to see the beauty of Skagway.

The railroad excursion was fantastic. I really appreciated seeing and learning as much as we did the excursion.

Wonderful excursion! The train gives you unbelievable views of the mountains and a brief history about the trek for gold rushers. It was informative, but not overly so you could soak up the scenery. There are bathrooms on each car, water provided, and access to a small terrace to get some fresh air. This was also the perfect amount of time; more would have drained us and less would not have given the scenery its due. Definitely a great excursion for the whole family!

Enjoyed the train ride and the scenery.

Scenery was good. A bit long.

A fantastic experience from beginning to end. The scenery above the clouds was breathtaking. How the gold rush miners traversed this path beggars belief. Thanks to the driver, the girls on-board for all of the information, those who assisted in loading all on to the train. Thank you all.

I loved the train trip. Beautiful scenery and the narrator was great.

We enjoyed the White Pass Summit train ride, it was just a little longer than we expected and a little too long for us. The views were spectacular though!

Beautiful train ride with amazing views of waterfalls, mountains, and the White Pass Summit. The narration made it interesting with the mix of history and identification of the various landmarks.

Outstanding. A highlight ! Not to be missed for the train lover and those who appreciate God's creation.

Loved the view, the hosts were very informatived, pleasent. The whole trip was spectacular

a great excursion

Excellent and beautiful.

A wonderful scenic excursion with informative commentary and good service.

Awesome !!

Breathtaking scinary views. Unfortunately at the top of the mountain train ride stop, we can

This was a beautiful ride!! Unfortunately some debri had fallen on the tracks about an hour into our ride and it was too big to be cleared off by train personnel. We were given 1/2 of our ticket price back & a free cap which I thought was extremely fair. Would highly recommend this excursion!!

The train was fantastic! However, the delays in getting started, then having to wait on a broken-down train on the tracks, dramatically cut into our time. We didn't have time to eat and had to return to the ship tired and starving. Also, it would be nice if the there were better accommodations for wheelchairs.

Very good

Beautiful mountain scenery and a comfortable ride made this excursion one of the best we have ever taken!

Wonderful views and loved the way it is provided for passengers to view one side fully and be made aware you will see the other side on the way back. No need to strain to see it the first time.

VERY NICE RIDE LOTS OF SCENERY

This was a wonderful historic and BEAUTIFUL ride. There was also a Lot of interesting historical information provided.

Great well worth the price.

Learned so much about this region and the views were just beautiful. Loved our day on the White Pass Railroad.

Superior views! Very personable and intelligent staff.

Excellent

Enjoyed this train ride. Very scenic. Train left 45 minutes late, though that did not negatively impact our in port scheduling.

The train ride was relaxing and enjoyable. We really enjoyed the beautiful scenery and the commentary along the ride.

Loved the ride, the views were outstanding and the history was fun to learn about.

Fabulous...many thanks.booked online in Australia.went very smoothly

I took some of the most beautiful pictures of my trip on this train. Enjoyed the interesting facts along the way also.

My husband, parents, and I enjoyed this excursion. It was great to see how far the miners had to make their way to strike it rich, or not. The day that we went was supposedly the first day in three weeks in which there was no fog/clouds/rain/etc. so that was pretty neat. We didn't get to see much wildlife, but that's obviously not the tour operator's fault. The only gripe we had was that our train didn't leave till 20 minutes after our departure. :/ Additionally, what would have made this excursion even better was to be able to get off the train in Canada. All in all, it was a good and fun excursion.

Wonderful scenery! Fantastic price compared to Carnivals price. Informative about the history with one exception. If you are outside you can't hear the narrative.

Excellent !! Group was small enough to allow viewing from both sides of the carriage both up and back , excellent commentary. Well organised, highly recommend.

Fun!!!

This excursion was easy to walk to and board. The on-board guides were very informative and mingled with all riders to answer questions. The scenery is spectacular and very rugged, yet we rode in comfort behind large glass windows. The ticket price is a good value. I would recommend this trip to everyone that visits Skagway.

Beautiful views but 3 hours is too long.

that was a wonderful, relaxing, educational tour... LOVED IT

The train ride was perfect, narration perfect. There were a few groups who were so noisy they overpowered the narrator and a few camera hogs who dominated the viewing bridge. But that reflects on the manners of the travelers and not the tour.

Was a nice relaxed train ride. The view is amazing.

Very beautiful scenery well worth the excursion fee. Big savings over booking through cruise line, and it takes you to the same destination. The only issue we found was non English speaking persons did not understand the announcement of switching sides of the train thus it was not fair to some of the passengers who would have been able to see the view that had not seen previously.

I was not really wanting to do the railroad. I am really glad I did now...it was way better than I expected.

Alaska Shore Excursions was great in organising our shore tours. The better version of this tour would be the option of a bus for the return journey

Wonderful trip with such varied scenery and information

Awesome excursion! Highly recommend it. The views were breathtaking and the tour guide was very knowledgeable and thorough.

We had a wonderful excursion and really enjoyed the train ride up and down the White Pass

Just an excellent, excellent journey. Such beautiful scenery, and great commentator. A once in a lifetime excursion.

If you want to see the scenery and learn a little history, this is a great excursion and the train ride was wonderful. Just make sure you take a water and a snack.

A great experience. Highly recommended.

Felt like second class citizens. Ship passengers got to board first. We had to walk up the tracks to board and got the left over seats. Our group had to split up and sit in different cars. All the window seats were taken. Platforms were small. As a photographer, it was hard to take pictures. The scenery was beautiful.

An excellent trip up the mountain sides in a comfortable carriage. Excellent guide who explained the trip and scenery and history extremely well. Weather wasn't the best but otherwise, a brilliant experience.

Very nice relaxing beautiful views and trip

Very relaxing and beautiful ride, my fave excursion!

Beautiful!

A must do on anyone's travel to Alaska. Great reception from staff very accommodating our needs for my husband's newish hip. Will recommend to our friends.

Absolutely stunning views! I loved being able to go outside on the platform for fresh air and great photo ops. I believe our guide's name was Trevor, he did a really wonderful job of commentary on the trip.

Excellent views everywhere!

Really beautiful trip. The narrator was good and it was really interesting to learn about the history of the area and the scenery was truly awe inspiring. Again, I'd highly recommend it! One suggestion is with boarding. We were taken out in a large group and told to start boarding I think the 2nd to last car, so we did, but as we moved through the car, we were basically going to get the last seats, and then suddenly people showed up getting on at the back of the car and there was a bit of a kerfuffle when they tried to sit in those last seats that we had patiently waited to get to while everyone else got seated. So maybe having a little more control of boarding would make things more smooth.

Stunning!

Beautiful scenery!

Beautiful!

I can understand why this tour is one of the highlights of a trip to Skagway. Well worth the price of admission as it encompassed so many interesting and exciting adventures into one tour. For train enthusiasts, history buffs and nature seekers this tour is top of the line. The tour guides were fun and very knowledgeable. Christina, I believe was her name, was just a doll and definitely added to the fun and enjoyment of the 3 hour trip. She joked with the passengers and told little stories that had us in stitches. She never was afraid to show her enthusiasm for her job nor afraid to take herself to seriously. . I would take this tour again if I could be guaranteed she would be one of the tour guides. Excellent tour and well suited for those who would like to take a mild though totally beautiful tour.

The car we were in fogged up at the turnaround point making visibility virtually impossible on the way back down the mountain.

Although I'm afraid of heights.i could not keep my eyes off the gorgeous views during this trip. We had a great time.

Loved it. What an unbelievable struggle the men went through in the late 1800's.

Unfortunately the bad weather greatly affected the sightseeing but you could still marvel at the engineering of the railway and the toughness of the miners and engineers.

Very scenic and narration was helpful

4 stars

Unfortunately views are highly dependent on weather however the excursion itself is comfortable and informative.

Very relaxing and enjoyable. Beautiful views of the wilderness.

I love trains and it was a great way to see part of the Alaskan country side. I wish I would have bought a hat on the train. I would go on this trip again.

very polite guides.

Make sure you sit on the left side. We did not and got a view of the side of the mountain on the way up. You do switch sides on the way down, but it goes so fast and rocks back and forth most of my pics came out blurry. Was beautiful and we did learn some things about Alaska.

Great tour we had a great time!! The scenery was beautiful!!! Wish we would have time to do the 7 1/ hour tour!! It was a great day in Skagway

My husband enjoyed. I was seasick and unable to participate.

This was the best of the three excursions we went on. We were lucky with the weather, we had great views of some spectacular scenery, the guides were very informative, well worth what we paid.

Ok not much to see or do on train. Countryside was great and we learned more about gold rush

The train ride was breath taking the beauty was unreal . We would do it again.

Very relaxing excursion winding up and up to the pass.

We enjoyed the train ride, especially two members of our group who have limited mobility.

This scenic adventure through the wilderness was beautiful. Very relaxing and incredible view of natures best. Another must see!

The White Pass Railroad is an excellent excursion in Skagway. The scenery is beautiful and the tour guide was very informative. It was great to learn about the whole history of the railroad and the gold rush.

Awesome! Spectacular! An Excursion to remember! The narrator was entertaining, informative, and gave us ample time to get ready to take pictures of the important sights and historical landmarks all the way up and back down. Will recommend to all who are coming your way. Thanks for the memories... The Chandlers - Houston, Texas

A truly amazing journey. Stunning scenery and helpful, friendly staff everywhere.

The scenery was so beautiful and they were very well versed on the history of the area. We learned a lot and seen a lot on this trip!!

great ride and beautiful scenery. The crew was great and the information/narrative was awesome

Great views. I would've had been better if there were two ways up and down the tour. But it was nice.

It was amazing! The view was spectacular. Just 1 small complaint. I think the commentary needs to be edited. The comment was made" The North West Mountain Police checked the miners and would stop them with machine guns at the Yukon border". I find that hard to believe that the NWMP used machine guns.The overall experience was wonderful though.I appreciated the way they organized it so everyone gets to see both sides.

Very scenic, but since you come back via the same route you left you are seeing the same thing twice.

Beautiful scenery, but the seats got a little uncomfortable by the end.

Beautiful scenery a highlight of our trip of Alaska unreal!

Three stars.

The scenery was absolutely beautiful!

Awesome scenery!

Beautiful ride! Perfect amount of time! Make sure you pick up your "real" ticket at the train depot in downtown Skagway. You do not board right by the ship. The town is so cute and just a few minutes walk! The lady who narrated our tour was a delight!

Beautiful! Breathtaking! Very comfortable train. Highly recommended!!

Beautiful scenery, everyone was very friendly...a great experience!

Excellent experience, comfortable seating, beautiful scenery... very worthwhile.

Very nice train ride and the views were amazing

Gorgeous country, train had engine problems, but they had the ship held and drove us right to the gangway

This is a nice train ride. Relaxing for most part but we had some very loud people behind us who made it not so enjoyable.

Awesome scenery and relaxing ride! Great for the entire family! A must-see, must-do!!

Absolutely awesome! Great people, great views, a warm comfortable passenger car and being able to go outside on the platform topped it off. I loved this experience. Thank you!

One of Our train engines broke Down but continued up to the summit slowly. Cruise ship had to wait on us but it was still a great time.

Beautiful scenery Guide, Trevor was very charming and knowledgeable. Excellent communicator.

Beautiful scenery and a step back in time.

Magnificent views, interesting history. Good tour for those with limited mobility. Comfortable ride.

The trip was well worth it.

Great experience with Alaska Shore Excursions. Saved money not booking with cruise line. Same guarantee offered as cruise line. No worries...Great experience!

This is must if you enjoy train rides and beautiful scenery. The train was on time, well narrated, and comfortable. I especially appreciated the fact that the passengers switch sides on the return trip so that both sides had the opportunity to see the sites and hear the narration... also if you missed something going "up" , you could catch it on the way "down" !

Scenic view

The tour, once started, was lovely and scenic with a really fabulous and friendly tour guide on our trip. The only downside was that the ground attendant/announcer at the station was obviously very tourist weary at the end of the season (Sept) and was unpleasant to listen to and witness being openly impatient (rolling her eyes to other visitors) about any confused visitors who would misunderstand or ask for clarification of what she had announced. We arrived quite early for our trip and unfortunately had to endure almost an hour of this on the benches outside the station before we could board the train. That is really sad because tourism is what supports this railway.

The scenery was breathtaking; the train ride, not so much. We enjoyed the history lesson and learned a lot about the gold rush era. Would have preferred the train with the old fashioned locomotive. Would have preferred a selection of refreshments instead of just room temperature water.

Beautiful scenery.

2 things that stick out in my mind about our trip on this excursion was that it was well narrated and the engineer always slowed down at key spots for picture taking. Pretty nice also to stand outside your train car for taking pics.

Outstanding!!! The views were amazing!! Some of the cre were a bit cranky in the area of moving trains but otherwise excellent!

Good value. Need to inform cruise ship people that to pick up tickets you must walk 10-15 minutes into town. Almost late because spent time at cruise dock looking for ticket office.

My wife and I enjoyed this train ride. The trip was a wonderful experience and the beauty of the Alaska scenery was breath taking.

Would recommend to anyone going through Skagway

Just amazing. A must do.

A little bit long, but enjoyable once you get over the height. We did enjoy the commentary there and back.

This was one of the best things to do in Skagway. We did the 8:15am ride and it was really foggy. I would recommend the afternoon since the sun burned it off and it was nice. The narrator's of the tour are fantastic. There is a lot of history here and they tell you all about it.

The excursion was terrific, interesting and informative! One complaint.....you state that one has to go to the depot to get the tickets....only a short walk into town. IT WAS NOT A SHORT WALK....I recently had knee surgery....and could walk...but found it to be very long. I suggest you restate the exact walking distance....

Great ride, wonderful view!

This was a fantastic trip. We took the 8:15 ride and the car was not crowded at all. Scenery was beautiful. This is one trip that you should not miss while in Skagway. We did not book this through the cruise ship and ended up saving per ticket.

The White Pass Railroad Excursion was very neat! The views were incredible. If there could have been a place on top of the mountain to get out and stretch our legs, it would have been nice. It was a long time to sit. However, it was a good tour and the speaker was very knowledgeable and had a nice voice to listen to.

This was a lovely tour and totally met my expectations. I would recommend this.

great experience

A good tour

Train ride was great but wish we had taken it one-way and a shuttle/bus the other way to see the scenary from a different viewpoint. Very glad we booked through this website instead of the cruise ship. No need for transportation to the train station, so no advantage to paying more and booking through the ship.

Scenic trip--beautiful Alaska. Impressed with quality of equipment--power and passenger cars. One complaint--water was provided but would have been nice if there was other refreshments available for sale.

Spectacular scenery , great commentary and great value

we were traveling with our family of 14 with Norwegian Cruise Lines. This was a great activity for our family and made it back in plenty of time before our cruise departure the evening.

Very pretty scenery. My husband and I spent most of the time outside capturing photos along the way. I was hoping for some glimpses of wildlife but that didn't happen. Otherwise, it is a nice, scenic ride.

The train ride up the mountain was awesome! My husband and I had a great time! Would definitely do it again, but next time we will make sure to have our Passports, so we can enjoy one of you other trains.

The train ride was exciting it has to pass over quite a few bridges that was closed to the hill side. It was very scenic.

A must do for this trip. Everyone was very friendly and helpful.

This was breath taking, the view up the mountain is awesome.

We really enjoyed the Skagway White Pass Railroad Excursion. We sat on the left side of the train on the way up to the summit and it was great with the commentary all along the way. As we headed back, we realized we were fortunate to have had that side on the way up since coming back down there wasn't any commentary at all. If I had been on that side coming down I would have been very disappointed not to have all of the points of interest mentioned.

Everyone enjoyed this excursion very much! We just wish we could've all been on the same train. We were a group of 21 and ended up having to split up to board the train on 3 different cars. My husband really liked the hat that came with the video purchase and was very disappointed when it blew away while we were on the ship! Thank you for a great family experience!

It was a great train trip. Very well organized and just a lot of fun. Worth the price.

I wish we would have known in advance that we had to hike to town before the Excursion. It is horrible walking that far with kids especially on the way back since they were asleep. The actual tour was nice.

Very nice ride. Would have been a bit easier for the elderly if the times had been accurate. We booked a 12:15 (checked in at 11:45 and found out our train didn't load until 1:00)...and did not leave until 1:30.

awesome time !! Very friendly and knowledgeable staff! I would highly recommend this !

Another great time on the Skagway White Pass Railroad, had a great time as well as our 4 grandchildren also had a great time.

Pros: The train was authentic feeling. The scenery was pretty awe inspiring. We felt safe. Cons: The door on our car wouldn't stay closed so it got pretty cold in there. My biggest disappointment was the lack of narration. I know there is enough history there to fill many volumes of books. We heard a few tid bits of information but left feeling like we just took very expensive nap. There is a lot of room for improvement in the narration script. Also, the entertainment factor could be brought up a notch or two by making us feel like we're actually part of the gold rush. Overall, I was dasAppointed.

We had a great tour. The White Pass Summit Excursion. was enjoyed by all 12 of our family, from 8 to 84. The tour guides were so friendly and informative and the scenery was incredible. This is a unique opportunity to relate to historical events that we have only read about.

The ride was breathtaking and the picture opportunities were many. I would recommend anyone visiting Skagway to take the train.

The Skagway White Pass Railroad Summit Excursion was amazing. Great commentary & a great carriage. The trip was fantastic as was the scenery. I would thoroughly recommend this tour & do it early in the morning, which gives you time to explore the town in the afternoon.

This is an excursion not to be missed! We did the ride on a beautiful sunny day and the views were amazing. I can't remember saying, "Wow" so much in such a short period of time. The only complaint I had was with the video that was offered for sale. It, in no way relives the experience as I remember it.

It was very pretty scenery and the narrator on the train was very knowledgeable. If we would do it again would probably pick a different excursion or take the train up and bike ride down. Would have chosen that but didn't meet the age requirements. But overall it was a nice ride, very clean, relaxing, good for those seeking scenic historical tour.

It was the most beautiful day in the day we Rode the train. So much to see.

Capt. John and his first officer, Troy, were outstanding. There skill and good humor made the whale watch an enjoyable experience and a success! The weather was ideal too. Forget all the rest and go with the best! Howard Beach, NY

5 star...great excursion. The train was comfortable with good narration. Spent most of the time outside enjoying the view. Loved the trip.

Beautiful scenery and interesting information about the area.

This is a must do. Absolutely beautiful ride and great conductor.

Beautiful view during 3-hour train ride. No getting off anywhere. Good for adults. Kids may get bored as the only activities are sitting and taking photos.

Traveling by train was the best way to see the mountainside; the views were amazing all we had to do was sit back and ride. Lots of scenery to be taken in white mountain tops, rainy and cold, we were very warm and the only thing missing was a hot cup of cocoa with marshmallows. Our train conductor and staff were very knowledgeable; they did not miss a beat or question.

Great adventure in the last frontier, felt like a cowboy riding outside!! Amazing scenery and a great way to do it, booking with you saved hassle of booking with cruise liner, had one with about 20 others and saved a fortune for exactly the same itinerary!

Excellent nature ride.

Wonderful and accommodating staff. Views are beautiful!

It was an excellent excursion. The staff on the excursion we're very friendly and knowledgable. The views from the train were amazing. I would definitely recommend this excursion.

Beautiful scenery with very informative onboard commentary.

This was a very nice laid back day. The train was really well maintained and the crew was good. The scenery was breathtaking. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

Very interesting excursion. Very beautiful. I would do again.

This was one of our highlights of Alaska. The scenery was spectacular. The staff kept us informed on upcoming photo spots. Had a great time.

Very Scenic & Fun!

Probably the Best value for our money spent on our entire vacation.

Outstanding scenery and staff did the afternoon train and was tight for time but a bus was provided from station to ship and all was good.

Lovely scenery. Early train at 8:15 was not busy so it was easy to move around and get photo's. If you can catch the early train would recommend.

The views were breathtaking! The entire trip was well-organized and easy to complete. The access to be outdoors on the train was a special treat!

We rate this excursion an A plus! Top excursion in our opinions.

This was a gorgeous train ride. We booked the excursion online from Alaska Shore Excursions and were on the exact same train as those we booked through our cruise ship. Some things to note: you can bring food on the train. They provide bottled water. There is a toilet in each car. You can stand out on the platforms to enjoy the wind in your face and the thrill of hanging off the side of a mountain. Even though the staff on the train tell people that they need to take turns on the platforms, there were a couple families who monopolized the platforms.

Beautiful scenery and cool train. They provide water. It was a bit boring since it goes up, then goes down and it is the same stuff on both ways. But pretty!

It was a nice ride and the views were fantastic

What can I say? This is a must do in Skagway; simply breathtaking.

Wonderful train ride, very scenic
