Skagway Shore Excursion: Full Day in Emerald Lake

Sam was kind, helpful, and funny. He told lots of stories and was excited as we were to see wildlife. He drove us through his own neighborhood and really gave us a feel for how the locals live. He also supplies a car seat if needed which was a very nice accommodation AND made time for us to swim in a lake on our way back! I am very glad I booked this type of private tour since we have a toddler and will recommend him to other travelers. Thanks, Sam!

Lovely tour in Skagway and the Yukon with Samuel. Lots of photo ops and he would stop anywhere if we requested it. Samuel was very knowledgeable and personable. Would use him again!

Sam was fabulous! A great tour given by a permanent Skagway resident. He was great with kids and has child seats. Had games and trivia to keep kids entertained and engaged. He was very flexible and most photo spots, we were the only people there. He suggested we change itenary to take advantage of the weather. Pointed out the stores that were owned by Skagway residents and told us his favorite places. Would highly recommend for travelers who want a personalized experience and a way to see spots without all the crowds .

We enjoyed the full day tour with Sam. Sam was friendly and knowledgable. He was a good driver and guide. We were very comfortable in his new car. The tour covered many sightseeing spots and areas. We began with a city tour in Skagway, follows by a nature tour crossing the Canadian border to British Columbia, and explore part of Yukon. We stopped at the puppy place as well as visited the beautiful Emerald Lake. The views were just breath taking! Sam took us back to the cruise ship on time. On our way back, we had a very pleasant surprise to drive by his house and met his mother at the front yard of his house! We would highly recommend Sam if you would need a guide for Alaskan tours.

We had a GREAT time on our Skagway tour! Skip the train and book with Samuel! He's great with all details you'll ever want to know about Skagway and more! We saw a bear right in the roadway, stopped at a few amazing stops including the interactive camp where an Iditarod racer keeps her incredible dogs. We also stopped at the suspension bridge, which is a "must". We had lunch in the quaint town of Carcross . Samuel was very accommodating, has a clean and spacious vehicle, and allowed us to take as much time at each stop as we wanted. The fact that we could stop and take pictures along the way at every scenic stop alone makes it better than the train, and having a personal guide like Samuel made it even better. I couldn't recommend him enough! We also learned how the guides change their behavior from month to month - be sure to ask him :).

Sam is very knowledgeable. Great day out in the Yukon. Sam has great communication and is very easy to work with. Highly recommend a private tour with Sam versus the over crowded ship tours. Thanks Sam!
