Private tour operators at the dock

Veteran cruisers like everyone here but 1st time in Alaska. In the Caribbean there are dozens of independent operators hawking tours as soon as you get off the boat as we all know. Is it the same in in Alaska? Particularly Skagway and Juneau? Thanks in advance.

Here is a thread asking the very same question, further down the page.

Thanks

Alaska isn't the Caribbean. :) You are far better off, figuring out what YOU want to see and do in ports- in advance then that decision will tell you if waiting until you are on the dock to purchase tours. This is NOT a good option for many Alaska tours.
