I’m Alex, a local guide and owner-operator of a small tour company here in Skagway, Alaska. Like the stampeders of 1898, I’ve found my way north, drawn by the stories, the landscapes, and the spirit of this place, and now I get to share it with travelers from around the world. I’ve worked as both a driver and guide in Skagway, and today I run small-group tours designed to feel personal, flexible, and a little more authentic than the typical bus experience. No crowds, no scripts, just real stories, incredible scenery, and the freedom to enjoy the journey at your own pace. I tailor each experience to your group’s interests. We can walk among the legends at the Gold Rush Cemetery, stand beneath cascading waterfalls, or travel the Klondike Highway toward the White Pass, where every turn reveals the kind of views that once stopped stampeders in their tracks. We can go to sled dog summer mushing camps, suspension Bridges, scenic Carcross, Emerald Lake, and you can choose your own adventure. Along the way, I’ll share the history, the characters, and the small local details you only get from someone who lives and works here. So whether you’re here for adventure, history, or simply to take in the wild beauty of Southeast Alaska, I would be honored to show you around this remarkable place.
