Avoid Bushwhackers, Claim Jumpers and the other Confidence Men. I'll meet you at the Dock, Get you housing, Outfit you and Guide you throughout the Area.
Taste the true experience of the Klondike Gold Rush with the premier Local Tour Guide. We are not one of the many "box tours" you may find on the main drag. We have 20 years' experience and many satisfied customers. We are the only guide in the area that will only charge for a successful tour. We collect at the end of the Tour to ensure your satisfaction. We will not waste your time nor ours on a FOG bound tour of the valley. We have many alternatives to this. We offer many entertainments along the way that are unavailable to the "boxed" tours. We work with the Rail Road Company combined with our van tour package to give you much more than a standard bus or rail tour.
Company ProfileDyea Dave is a 20-year local resident. Dave has a background in commercial archaeology and is very well versed in the Local Gold Rush History. We can show you many things that are unique to the area and are overlooked by the bus tours because their rigs are too large to get in and out of those places. We are fully licensed, bonded and insured in both the United States and Canada for your security. We are members of the Chamber of Commerce, local Fraternal Organizations and enjoy a wonderful relationship with the White Pass & Yukon Rail Road. We are a family operation that offers: Tours, information, education and a real taste of the local and historic flavor. If you can avoid the boxed tours, with us you get much more for much less. It's the real deal for real people.
Do you want DAVE as your guide?
Many of you do, so here's the scoop. Dave
is near retirement age, and is not able to continue giving
tours seven days a week. He has hired two drivers for his 16
and 21 passenger buses, Debbie and Barry, to help lighten his
load and rotate days off.
Barry has been doing tours in Skagway for
about 10 years, and knows the history very well. This guy is
a well traveled tour guide through and through. Although his
sense of humor is a little drier than Dave's as he's very
British! Google Barry Smedley and you can check out some
videos and bios he made about his world travels.
Deb is the new girl in town. She's a
cousin, who came for Becky's wedding; (check out
beyondskagwaytours.com for info on Becky's custom SUV
tours), decided she loved it, and stayed! Reviews for Deb
have been outstanding; she's got a light sense of humor, is
really laid back, fun, and enthusiastic about giving these
tours. Deb has a fresh perspective and attitude! As you can
tell, we love this Ohio gal!
You'll get Dave, Barry or Debbie, driving a
16 or 21 passenger bus, if you are a party of 1-21. Our most
popular tour, ($79 each, payable in cash or check at the end
of the tour; NO CREDIT CARDS), to Emerald Lake, from 8am to
3pm, stops several times for photos and once for lunch at a
restaurant. You must bring your PASSPORT for this tour. Check
out other tours on the tour menu.
If you have a party of 8-10, then you might
enjoy a custom tour from Klondike Kevin (Becky's son... we try
to keep it all in the family here!). He has a van and enjoys
taking folks outdoors for picnic lunches or to an indoor place
if the weather is bad. With Kevin, you can request picnic or
restaurant lunch. He will customize your tour if you tell him
of your interests.
So that's the break down of who you may be
getting as a driver. If you get Dave, that's great! He's
almost as good as the drivers he's hired!
