Customer Reviews
Sep 2022 - Patricia G.

The train tour in Skagway is amazing. Loved being able to stand outside for some pictures and really enjoyed the view from inside while listening to the information as we rode along.

Sep 2022 - Samantha F.

This was an amazing trip! Easy to find the meet up location and a fantastic experience. Highly recommend.

Sep 2022 - Lynette S.

A must-do when visiting Alaska! Breath-taking views and great history behind the building of the fabulous railway!

Sep 2022 - James G.

A ride through the mountains with views that you usually only see on postcards. So much prettier in person.

Sep 2022 - Greg W.

Wonderful tour! The scenery was breathtaking! The narrator did a great job of telling the history of the area as we journeyed along the trail. The "wandering tour guides", especially Stephanie, were informative and fun! Would recommend this tour to anyone!

Aug 2022 - Theresa B.

This railroad tour was so much more than what we thought it might be. The train was comfortable. Our tour guide provided colorful commentary that provided a sense of history about the place and the people who ventured to this summit when it was an unsettled and treacherous experience. The views were extraordinary!

Aug 2022 - Amanda G.

The tour guide was great and the views and scenery are absolutely breathtaking. A must do if you re in Skagway!

Aug 2022 - Luis A.

Everything was beautiful, just be sure to bring something warm. As you climb, the colder it gets. They lit the stove, but we had to keep the door open so the windows wouldn't fog up. The staff was friendly and we enjoyed the stories.

Aug 2022 - William L.

Great value and excellent commentary by staff.

Aug 2022 - Jeff O.

Knowledgeable tour guide, breathtaking scenery. Highly recommend.

Jul 2022 - Paula L.

Incredible experience! I would strongly recommend this excursion to anyone. The guides were very knowledgeable and the views are breathtaking!

Jul 2022 - Stephen J.

The best thing to do in Skagway. A spectacular ride through incredible scenery.

Jul 2022 - Constance B.

Departed from train station in timely manner. Information about scenery provided both by written pamphlet as well as live-commentary (scripted). Enjoyed being able to go outside front and rear of cars for fresh air and better pictures. Windows can be opened on cars - we just didn't do that. Seats were comfortable; did not shift fore-to-aft for return trip as had done in past. Trip up and back is exactly the same, but with different viewpoint can see different details. Beautiful scenery - we were lucky to have sunshine filled day.

Jul 2022 - Larry P.

The walk from the cruise ship to the train station was easy. The ride on the train was scenic and very well explained by the guides. There was plenty of opportunity to take pictures from each car's platform.

Jul 2022 - MAUREEN M.

Very nice leisurely 20 mile ride up the rail line and back. Informative narration along the way. Heated rail car with restroom.

Jul 2022 - Keith P.

The highlight of our Alaska Cruise Vacation. We'd been advised by previous travelers that this was not to be missed, and so we booked it well in advance and really looked forward to it. Our only worry was that just maybe it wouldn't live up to the built up expectations but it was definitely all that and more. Somehow we managed to have an almost perfect day weather-wise, with some clouds but mild temperature in the morning before our 9am trip. As the morning progressed, the few clouds lifted and the sun came out allowing a fantastic view along the entire trip. The views are spectacular, and the railroad trip of 3 hours was definitely the high point of our 7 night Alaska Cruise vacation. The staff were excellent, from the check-in at the depot, for the duration of the trip, and were frequently mentioning points of interest along the way. I must have taken over a hundred pictures during the ride, many of them worth enlarging and framing. As mentioned, we were advised by several people that this was a not-to-be-missed experience, and we have to say we agree 100% and will highly recommend this excursion to anyone planning an Alaska trip that includes a stop in Skagway. Many thanks for the hard work and dedication that all of the staff have put in to make this an experience that we'll remember fondly for many years to come.

Jul 2022 - Rebecca E.

Excellent Alaska experience. Train ride was very comfortable, informative, and had wonderful views from inside as well as on platforms between cars. Instructions to get to train were excellent and we were quickly greeted & efficiently boarded for our excursion.

Jul 2022 - Kayla D.

Amazing experience! Beautiful scenery and informative commentary from the folks running the train! Highly recommend this trip!

Jul 2022 - Cheryl G.

This was an amazing trip up the White Pass and back into Skagway. Due to a rockfall that closed our pier, our ship had to tender and it took a long time to get to shore, but the tour operator simply changed our time to the next available train. So nice of them to be flexible and accommodating for us. The views from the train were unparalleled and we all thoroughly enjoyed our trip.

Jun 2022 - Karen E.

Excellent excursion, highly recommend it. A good amount of information and very personable staff!

Jun 2022 - Matthew G.

Overall this tour exceeded my expectations. The scenery was amazing, the information given by the tour narrator was great, and the train itself was fun and comfortable. This round trip ride is far better than other train packages that involve a train ride out and bus ride home. Glad we did this, and would recommend it to anyone.

Jun 2022 - Brandie M.

My husband and I absolutely loved Skagway and the train tour was such a wonderful way to get to see how beautiful Alaska truly is. Skagway was my favorite port city and it truly lives up to its name when it comes to the rind. The train was a great way to still do something while getting off our feet and out of the wind. The guides were very knowledgeable and friendly. There are endless photo opportunities aboard and even more so if you choose to go to the outside platform while it s moving. We both took turns doing this. The entire thing was so worth the money spent! I would have paid even more. It s a must do excursion for sure. We would both do it again if ever back in Skagway.

Jun 2022 - Anuradha D.

Awesome views, highly recommend this tour!

Jun 2022 - Marisa L.

Excellent customer service. Easy to follow instructions and train ride was narrated with levity fascinating facts .

Jun 2022 - Brent B.

This was a unique, wonderful way of soaking in the incredible scenery of Alaska. Skagway is a really cool little town.

Jun 2022 - Jason S.

The White Pass Railroad Summit Excursion was fantastic. Beautiful scenery and good information. It's great that they have standing room in between the train cars where you see without a window. We were lucky to have had a gorgeous 65 degree clear day. Highly recommended.

Jun 2022 - Michele M.

This is the best excursion I think i have ever done and a must when you are in Skagway. The scenery is truly amazing, and the commentary was insightful and well done. The staff was attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. My friend is disabled, and they were able to accommodate her scooter with advance arrangements (they have one car with a lift).

Jun 2022 - Heidi L.

So beautiful - very informative and relaxing!

Jun 2022 - Melissa K.

Excellent excursion!!! Will do again on next visit.

We loved this excursion. It was a major highlight of our trip!

Jun 2022 - Mark O.

Beautiful scenery and interesting commentary along the way.

Jun 2022 - Mahavir S.

Absolutely beautiful and stunning. I've done the the longer 6 hour ride for this one, and I actually prefer the shorter 3 hour. It's the perfect amount of time to relax and take in the amazing views without it starting to feel too long. Also the person explaining everything was awesome!

Jun 2022 - Jennifer B.

Great way to see the landscape, very informative talk during the train ride!

Jun 2022 - Michael Sergio V.

The White Pass Railroad excursion was one of the highlights of our Alaskan Cruise adventure. We truly enjoyed every minute of it. We took the adventure in late May 2022 and there was still snow patches and then huge snow at the top. Be sure to take a few minutes to venture outside while the train is in motion. That perspective is amazing. It's scary but exciting. The staff is welcoming and friendly and explain key sites to see on the way up and down. We booked with Alaska Shore Excursions saving a ton of $ over the cruise and we had zero issues. They won't leave you behind on your cruise. In fact, on the way back they dropped us off right in front of the cruise line. It's pricey but it's a one in a lifetime excursion. Great all around.

May 2022 - Lesley Ann S.

Excellent customer service, the young lady walked us over to where the train was leaving from as we were short of time after flight. Train ride was awesome, loved the viewing platform and heating stove to keep us warm during train rude. Excellent narration during the train ride. One of the highlights of my holiday.

May 2022 - Kimberly B.

Very scenic rail road in cute town with dining & shopping. Recommend Red Onion Saloon for appetizer, drinks and Brothel Tour after train.

May 2022 - Nancy J.

Beautiful sceneries, informative conductors giving information about the history and what was awesome you could stand outside and get up some awesome pics close up! Best tour we took in Skagway!!

Great tour, beautiful views and history lesson along the way too.

May 2022 - Paula T. S.

The trip was very enjoyable but what made it more was the informative women that were there giving us great information the whole way up and down. The women walking thru answering questions were great! Keep up the great work!

May 2022 - Deborah H.

The train ride was awesome. Able to view the snow covered mountains and take in the fabulous scenery. Very comfortable seating, tour guide was pleasant and knowledgeable. Recommend highly.

May 2022 - Jillian R.

I LOVED this excursion! The train ride was my favorite thing that we did in Alaska. We got great views of the White Pass Trail! I will definitely remember this train ride. My only complaint was that the left side of the train got to view the scenery from their side on the way up the pass and then, the right side got to view the scenery on the way down the pass. But this isn't something that the tour group can prevent. It is just how the train tracks are built.

May 2022 - Sherri V.

The staff was very knowledgeable and committed very roomy and beautiful sites!

May 2022 - JOHN T.

Wonderful excursion such beautiful scenery the train is incredibly clean has a nice heater comfortable seats a bathroom and bottled water and allow you to bring snacks on board we enjoyed it immensely and they were very accommodating to our service dogs.

May 2022 - Larry M.

What a beautiful train ride, a must for any traveler to Alaska.

May 2022 - John P.

This was a perfect tour for us. Train was amazing and very clean. Tour guide was very informative and helpful. And the scenery is something not to be missed. Skagway is a nice town and the Train Tour is not to be missed!

May 2022 - Cherie W.

This was by far my FAVORITE excursion. The train ride was beautiful, the scenery was exceptional. We had a great time, I highly recommend this excursion.

May 2022 - Rand N.

We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. The commentary was helpful, the ride was as comfortable as possible, the cabin was warm enough, and the scenery was spectacular! While early in the season, everything was well prepared and seamless for us. It was well worth the time and expense. Thanks!

May 2022 - Shane F.

Beautiful and relaxing train ride to the summit. I'm happy we did the 3 hr tour and not the full day. 3 hrs is just the right amount of time. The scenery was gorgeous and stunning views. Seats were fairly comfortable.

May 2022 - Avery H.

Was a fun trip and great views. The view would have been nicer had the clouds not been as low but that s not the excursions fault. I loved having a map on my ticket to find the building.

May 2022 - Jodi B.

This is my second ride on the White Pass. The first was over 15 years ago. We were not able to get to the top due to snow conditions but the ride is still amazing. I would recommend that they make sure that all passengers can hear the commentary on the way up. Our car had some excessive noise and they gentleman who was talking was very quiet so we were unable to hear what he was saying. As I stated I have done this before so I was able to tell my friend some of the cool facts but wish she could have heard more.

Oct 2021 - Lori H.

The views along the route were amazing! Also learned some history along the way. I highly recommend this excursion!

Oct 2021 - Susan M.

Loved this tour! The scenery was beautiful, the ride was fun, and the narration during the trip was most interesting and entertaining. Great trip!

Oct 2021 - Beverly L.

Thank you so much for recommending such an awesome tour and for also making the date change for us when our ship had to change the arrival date. We had a fantastic time and my son was able to see snow. The tour was very informative and I would definitely do this again and recommend it to everyone. Awesome staff at Alaska Shore Excursions.

Sep 2021 - Nadegda N.

It was great and informative excursion

Sep 2021 - Marcus M.

This was by far the my favorite excursion on my Alaskan cruise. The scenery going up the mountain was nothing less than spectacular. While in Skagway this is a must do!!!!

Sep 2021 - Kathleen G.

Best tour ever. Wish we were there once the renovations were completed, but wonderful excursion. Train car was beautiful and very comfortable. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Views were amazing !!! We lucked out with a day of bright sunshine which added to the fabulous experience.

Sep 2021 - Nettie H.

Oct 2019 - Marjorie D.

Excellent trip depicting route used buy earlier pioneers wanting to pan gold. Informative with breathtaking scenery.

Oct 2019 - Magdel V.

It is a stunning trip, all was well organised, the tour guides very informative and quirky and the fact that the confirmation stated not to take the trains at the docks where we disembarked was very helpful else there would have been a lot of confusion. Also that it states that a passport is not necessary.

Oct 2019 - Calvin R.

Beautiful scenery. This train tour is a "must" if you want to see majestic mountains,and learn some gold rush history.

Oct 2019 - Barbara P.

A great experience!

Oct 2019 - John F.

Sep 2019 - Elaine B.

A highlight of our trip, this excursion was fun and informative.

Sep 2019 - Shanelle B.

Learned so much about the gold rush and how difficult it was for the men and women to work so hard to build the train tracks. It was such a beautiful ride and such a sad story. Grateful for all those that worked so hard to make this ride available.

Sep 2019 - Catherine N.

Very scenic

Sep 2019 - Simon D.

Excellent excursion - although it was mainly self-directed. It is an amazing train journey and well worth doing.

Sep 2019 - Barbara L.

Nice trip to the top of the pass. The staff was very friendly. Unfortunately it was pretty foggy so we didn't see as much as we would have on a clear day. Still a good excursion.

Sep 2019 - Anne V.

This is a great excursion in port. There is no walking involved so it is very doable for everyone. The views are awesome.

Sep 2019 - Patricia S G.

Good trip, unfortunately it was raining and got cloudy on the way back but very interesting with good views!

Sep 2019 - Adam R.

Fantastic

Nature is beautiful, guides are knowledgeable. Fun 2 hour ride into the past

Sep 2019 - Mark M.

Had a very good time. Employees were friendly and had good knowledge of the area. Got lucky on the weather and views were great. I observed an employee give a challenged visitor a railroad hat. So that made my day too.

Sep 2019 - Rachelle W.

Loved the train excursion. Super cool & very enlightening. Learned a lot & loved this experience.

Sep 2019 - Mary G.

We enjoyed a comfortable and scenic ride with good explanations of what we were seeing. We gained a first hand sense of what the gold rush was like. It was very helpful to be told that a photo op was coming up.

Sep 2019 - Telester T.

I enjoyed the watching and learning about the history of making the railroad. I heard about the gold miners, I wonder if there is still gold in the waters.

Sep 2019 - Jon H.

Kids liked this - I missed this train ride to do horseback riding and I regret it. But husband said it was just OK. I think there would be a lot more to see on the train than where we went riding.

Sep 2019 - Vilma M.

Staff friendly but lines to train chaotic

Sep 2019 - Martha W.

Highlight of the trip

Sep 2019 - JOYCE F.

Couldn't hear the speaker most of the time.

Wonderful experience!

Sep 2019 - Kathleen S.

Breathtaking views and an informative guide made for a terrific experience.

Sep 2019 - Kathy D.

The staff was great she was great at explaining the area. The scenery was so beautiful.

Sep 2019 - Renee J.

This train ride was long considering sitting on a hard bench/seat. You could go outside in between the train cars but the train never stopped. The scenery was amazing. Need to have snack or something to liven up the train ride. However, there isn't much in Skagway but jewelry stores so it was better than shopping in Skagway. Boarding train was a bit chaotic. I think if you had seat assignments it would have flowed better. People crowded, pushed, tried to save seats - just stressful to board train.

Sep 2019 - John D.

We loved every minute of it! Great historical commentary.

Sep 2019 - JEAN A.

Beautiful ride

Sep 2019 - Brenda T.

The narrator didn't have enough material. It's a 3 hour tour and nothing is offered. You could offer water or a small snack.

Sep 2019 - Lori I.

We booked this excursion for our NCL Cruise through Alaska. While the price difference wasn't a huge money saver, we still saved at least per person. Worth the savings for the same experience AND those who booked outside of the cruise company had two separate rail cars to themselves (aka we weren't packed in like sardines like the other cruisers were). Such an enjoyable afternoon seeing the landscape of Skagway and listening to the history of the area. Tons of beautiful photo ops!

Sep 2019 - Fran V.

My favorite day. Very beautiful and the guide had so much good information.

Sep 2019 - Danielle B.

Very cool!!!

Absolutely loved this!!! Amazing weather day!! Great crew and we saw a black bear!!!! Great history on the pass.

Sep 2019 - Gail F.

Great experience! The car we were in riding in had broken speakers so we couldn t hear the narrator... when we told them they changed us and others who wanted to hear about the history of the area to a different car.

Sep 2019 - Renee C.

Beautiful scenery and great narration.

Sep 2019 - Sylvia D.

Well worth the time and expense.

Very nice. The antique train was really cute. The train ride was great. We enjoyed it very much.

Aug 2019 - Marcia P.

Wonderful Experience! So glad we took the train. Price was less than on cruise ship and they guaranteed our return in time for cruise departure.

Aug 2019 - Lisa L.

The train was running a bit late but we still completed our excursion in plenty of time to get back on our ship for dinner. The sights are spectacular, make sure you go outside of the cars to take some photos/videos. It's nice sitting in the warm car but the outside area is where it's at! I would do this ride again and possibly even take the longer route.

Aug 2019 - Rhonda M.

It was a wonderful excursion. Fun vintage train and being able to stand out on the platforms was fun and made for better pictures! Beautiful scenery and experiencing a bit of history was great.

Great excursion but remember to take nibbles and water for the train trip. Shortly after we started we had engine trouble and needed to come back and get another engine hooked up. This was all done smoothly with good communication.

Aug 2019 - Sheridan K.

There was an issue with the on-board intercom so we were not able to hear all the guide's commentary. They gave us free hats to make up for it. The ride was great and the engineering was spectacular. A good trip for sightseers and railroad nuts alike.

Aug 2019 - Ruth Ann M.

We really enjoyed this tour. We recommend this tour as a must when visiting Skagway!!!

Aug 2019 - Beth P.

Well organized, beautiful views....book directly through Alaska Shore Excursions instead of through the cruise line!!

Aug 2019 - Michael H.

Excellent views

Aug 2019 - VIKRAM P.

The train ride wasn t as good as I had expected. The area was not as scenic as expected.

Aug 2019 - Rosemary M.

Recommend folks to do this one. See beautiful sites and realize how dangerous the gold rush was.

Recommend folks to do this one. See beautiful sites and realize how dangerous the gold rush was.

Aug 2019 - Xenia L.

Great train ride on an original to the time train with very informative narration about the gold rush and what they had to endure. Fantastic scenery, interesting history, time well spent.

Aug 2019 - Gerardo L.

A nice ride on the train with great views, a little expensive for a 2.5 hr ride. Seats on the train were not good.

Aug 2019 - Larry R.

Beautiful, well worth the trip.

Aug 2019 - Bruce D.

Great sights and great crew aboard the White Pass Railroad. Well worth the money spent.

Aug 2019 - Andrew S.

This is one heck of a scenic rail ride and it is good to see the investment that has been made to secure its longer term future. As a railwayman, I appreciated the challenges this line faces. And the weather was perfect for our trip. It doesn't matter which side of the carriage you sit in because the train goes around a large loop at the top (which is in Canada and you don't need a passport).

Aug 2019 - Melody J.

Absolutely Fantastic!

Aug 2019 - Nicholas F.

Beautiful trip and I was able to sit with family who booked through the cruise line even though we weren't supposed to.

Aug 2019 - Tracy A.

Beautiful views

Aug 2019 - Debra G.

This was a wonderful train ride! The views were breathtaking and the experience was one to remember. Would recommend it to anyone!

Aug 2019 - Rhonda M.

Wonderful experience riding the rails. Beautiful scenery and storytelling along the route. We saw a black bear walking alongside the railroad tracks as we were headed back to Skagway. Very low key. Just what we needed after our hike to the glacier the day before.

Aug 2019 - Nasreen I.

Loved the train ride. It was awesome. The narrator was great as well

Aug 2019 - Robert K.

Well managed very pleasant morning excursion with excellent staff and commentary.

Aug 2019 - Barry T.

Thoroughly enjoyed our train ride albeit it was cloudy and drizzling rain up on the higher slopes. Train was comfortable and commentary provided was very good.

Aug 2019 - Kiran S.

Nice train tour and one of the TOP excursions of Skagway. Amazing and breathtaking scenery. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and we had good time.

The view was nice and breathtaking

Jul 2019 - Bahjat S.

This is an amazing trip! The 3 hours tour is filled with an amazing nature beauty and lot to see and fully enjoy Alaska and what Alaska is all about. Smooth ride, bears, glaciers, mountains, water falls, rivers and natural at it s best. Great job. The crew is very knowledgeable.

This was absolutely brilliant. Fantastic scenery.

Well worth the time. Beautiful scenery and the history of the train and White Pass is incredible.

Jul 2019 - Bonnie G.

Tour was well organized. Length was good. Commentary was relevant and helpful.

Jul 2019 - Neal M.

Stunning up close look at the Alaska wilderness and see what gold fever will make you do. So breathtaking that it still holds your attention on the way back down the same route because you can't see it all on the way up.

Jul 2019 - James C.

Very knowledgeable about the history of the railroad.

Jul 2019 - Susan B.

My husband and our party of seven had a great time on this trail ride. I highly recommend it. The folks that work that well Road work Streamley accommodating for our uncle who needed wheelchair assistance. Thank you for a wonderful experience. Susan, Columbia, South Carolina

Jul 2019 - James M.

Very comfortable seating and breathtaking views of the Alaska wilderness.

Jul 2019 - Beth B.

Luckily we had a beautiful day for a train ride! The tour guide was great and made sure we didn't miss a thing!

Jul 2019 - Debra R.

Beautiful scenery and enjoyable train ride. I really liked the fact that the train allowed you to see the scenery from both sides of the train.

Jul 2019 - Shannon D.

Very enjoyable ride with gorgeous scenery. Wish we had added in the bus portion into Yukon/BC but understood that portion was completely booked when I inquired about it. The details as to where to find office in town were scant and office staff somewhat short on phone. A sign or representative by cruise dock would be helpful.

Jul 2019 - Laura G.

Beautiful but very long - tough with small kids - but good for adults and older children.

Jul 2019 - Molly G.

The scenery and history are fascinating.

Jul 2019 - Clifford S.

The sights were really good. There are many opportunities to take pictures. The guide provided some interesting information.

Jul 2019 - Nancy S.

It was awesome

Jul 2019 - Lisa G.

Loved the narrative & information provided on the ride.

Jul 2019 - Andrew C.

Beautiful scenic views. Excellent opportunity to video the rugged scenery from the train. It was a warm day and so the train car was pretty warm as well. We didn't take advantage of the opportunity to get up and watch from between the cars. It was very nice that the trip was non-stop there are back with very good views from both sides.

Jul 2019 - Marcella B.

IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST-LOVED IT.

Jul 2019 - Brian W.

Very informative. Well organized tour.

Jul 2019 - Robert C.

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

Jul 2019 - Joann B.

very nice

Jul 2019 - Monica B.

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.

Jul 2019 - Kathryn W.

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

Jul 2019 - Shelley H.

Beautiful views and excellent narration

Jul 2019 - Denise M.

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

Jul 2019 - Maree M.

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

Jul 2019 - Laura K.

Excellent

Jul 2019 - Ashley K.

Awesome trip and got great photos!

Jul 2019 - Melissa B.

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.

Jul 2019 - Michelle G.

Fantastic!

Jul 2019 - Paul D.

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.

Jul 2019 - Maria T.

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

Jul 2019 - Susan G.

Unbelievable train ride.

Jul 2019 - Paul A B.

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

Jul 2019 - Andrew R.

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

Jul 2019 - Traci W.

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

Jul 2019 - Debra D.

Very informative, spectacular views. Enjoyed the train ride.

Jul 2019 - Katherine M.

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

Jul 2019 - Robert S.

Was pretty but my kids got bored.

Jun 2019 - Louis V.

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!

Jun 2019 - Lin D.

Excellent train ride

Jun 2019 - Pamela B.

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.

Jun 2019 - Karen P.

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.

Jun 2019 - JOSE M.

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

Jun 2019 - Tyler J.

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

Jun 2019 - Judy T.

Great trip, beautiful scenery and a grate comentary

Jun 2019 - David M.

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.

Jun 2019 - Roy A.

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.

Jun 2019 - LYNN G.

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

Jun 2019 - Jo L.

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.

Jun 2019 - Aaron S.

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

Jun 2019 - Lucy J.

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

Jun 2019 - Thomas T.

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

Jun 2019 - Jack R.

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.

Jun 2019 - Kamla L.

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

Jun 2019 - Brian B.

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.

Jun 2019 - Charlene S.

Beautiful scenery, a lot of historical information

Jun 2019 - Carolyn J.

Fabulous train ride. Amazingly beautiful scenery!!!

Jun 2019 - Matthew P.

Jun 2019 - Paul C.

Good time for the entire family. Very well orchestrated.

Jun 2019 - Janis J.

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

Jun 2019 - HEATHER F.

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.

Jun 2019 - Delois F W.

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.

Jun 2019 - Charlene Z.

Great experience!

Jun 2019 - MaryAnn M.

Absolutely exhilarating!

Jun 2019 - ROBERT D.

Very good excursion...great service and scenery.

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

Jun 2019 - PATRICIA V.

beautiful scenery

Jun 2019 - Jessica V.

The guide was knowledge and the views were beautiful.

Jun 2019 - SHELLEY P.

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.

Jun 2019 - Martin C.

Good afternoon trip

Jun 2019 - Neil C.

Awesome and a must do when in Skagway.

Jun 2019 - Greg P.

It was great

May 2019 - Karen W.

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

May 2019 - TAMARA D.

Awesome excursion where you don't have to walk!

May 2019 - Maryanne D.

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

May 2019 - Richard C.

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

May 2019 - Tonja P.

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.

May 2019 - Therese M.

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.

May 2019 - Vicki M.

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.

May 2019 - Linda T.

A wonderful, once in a lifetime experience!

May 2019 - Rhonda P.

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.

May 2019 - Carolina B.

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

May 2019 - Jeremy S.

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.

May 2019 - Tracey S.

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

May 2019 - Belinda C.

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.

May 2019 - David L.

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

May 2019 - Dympna K.

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

May 2019 - Charles L.

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

May 2019 - Martha S.

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.

May 2019 - Elaine M.

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.

May 2019 - Roger B.

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.

May 2019 - Dana F.

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.

May 2019 - Joan D.

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

May 2019 - Thomas D.

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

May 2019 - Mary R.

Enjoyed the whole experience.

May 2019 - Jodi D.

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

May 2019 - Jerry B.

Great experience!!

May 2019 - David L.

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

Oct 2018 - Debra E.

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

Oct 2018 - Cheng Z.

Nice narration.

Sep 2018 - Colleen S.

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.

Sep 2018 - Tiana S.

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.

Sep 2018 - Saverio C.

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

Sep 2018 - Emil G.

Excellent.

Sep 2018 - Denise H.

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.

Sep 2018 - William W.

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

Sep 2018 - Teresa W.

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.

Sep 2018 - Sally G.

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.

Sep 2018 - Patti F.

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 !

Sep 2018 - Renato V.

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

Sep 2018 - Marilyn B.

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

Sep 2018 - Karen C.

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..

Sep 2018 - MISTY S.

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.

Sep 2018 - Ross C.

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.

Sep 2018 - Marvin W.

Fantastic trip, everything we expected - Liz Wood UK

Sep 2018 - Deborah E.

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

Sep 2018 - Brian K C.

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

Sep 2018 - David S.

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

Sep 2018 - Barbra B.

Nice ride staff well educated on history of the area

Aug 2018 - Alice S.

A wonderful excursion! Great sights, knowledgeable guide!!

Aug 2018 - Jenifer R.

Great tour. Beautiful scenery. Friendly staff

Aug 2018 - John M.

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

Aug 2018 - Darlene T.

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.

Aug 2018 - Dale C.

Very organized and ran on time.

Aug 2018 - Ellen J.

My group enjoyed this Skagway White pass Railroad Summit Excursion.

Aug 2018 - Elleln P.

Exceptional! What a great experience.

Aug 2018 - Suzanne D.

Excellent Excursion

Aug 2018 - Sunil B.

Very exciting- highly recommended to take this excursion

Aug 2018 - Pamela T.

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

Aug 2018 - Rachelle B.

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

Aug 2018 - Debra H.

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

Aug 2018 - Raphael K.

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

Aug 2018 - Maryann S.

Beautiful scenery

Aug 2018 - Jon K.

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.

Aug 2018 - Cynthia T.

Great experience!

Aug 2018 - James W.

Beautiful scenery! Spectacular views! At times seemed rushed

Aug 2018 - Randall C.

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).

Aug 2018 - Jeffrey P.

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.

Aug 2018 - Conni S.

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.

Aug 2018 - Vicki J.

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.

Aug 2018 - Richard L.

Great excursion with the most beatyfull views.

Jul 2018 - Julie P.

Great way to see Alaska!

Jul 2018 - Antonio B.

Great experience, Thank you!

Jul 2018 - David B.

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

Jul 2018 - Kelly F.

A beautiful trip. Things were perfect - thank you!

Jul 2018 - Melissa C.

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.

Jul 2018 - Wanda R.

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

Jul 2018 - Joann M.

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

Jul 2018 - Denise B.

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 !

Jul 2018 - Kimberly M.

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.

Jul 2018 - Kim L.

The personnel were very friendly and knowledgeable.

Jul 2018 - Brian P.

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

Jul 2018 - Michael G.

Excellent- not to be missed

Jul 2018 - Walter G.

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.

Jul 2018 - Tina M.

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

Jul 2018 - Johan H.

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

Jul 2018 - John B.

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

Jul 2018 - Jane M.

Trip was beautiful and informative.

Jul 2018 - Andrew G.

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.

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.

Jul 2018 - Loraine R.

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.

Jul 2018 - John R.

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.

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.

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.

Jun 2018 - Megen L.

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.

Jun 2018 - John G R.

Very pretty and well organized company is easy to work with

Jun 2018 - Margaret D.

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.

Jun 2018 - John S.

Incredible journey. Beautiful scenery and amazing railway.

Jun 2018 - John T.

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.

Jun 2018 - Melinda T.

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.

Jun 2018 - Steve P.

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!

Jun 2018 - Frances W.

Enjoyed the train ride and the scenery.

Jun 2018 - Debra K.

Scenery was good. A bit long.

May 2018 - Margaret D.

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.

May 2018 - Jenny S.

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!

May 2018 - John H.

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.

May 2018 - Trevor P.

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