Skagway Walking Tours

[JC in CA]

Thought I'd mention the nearly free walking tours in Skagway. I read about them here somewhere and checked into them. There is a 75 cents per reservation fee, other than that, free. Has anyone taken one of these?

 

We booked the "Untold Stories, topics vary" because it fits with the rest of our day. A few different tours and times to choose from.

Yes, we took one last time in Skagway and enjoyed very much. The Park Service does a great job.

They also have a good display of photo's and artifacts of the Klondike gold rush in the downtown building. They have a small theater where they show a movie on the history of the gold rush and the building of the White Pass RR. We saw the free movie there first before we boarded the train for our excursion. Though there was a narrator on the train, the free movie from the Park Service had us informed about what we were seeing. We had the afternoon WPRR excursion.

 

The Park Service in Skagway = FREE. You don't see that too often in Alaska.;)

Thanks for the link! We were planning on doing our own walking tour using the map from the Skagway site, but this looks like a nice option.

Excellent info! Will definitely check it out! And you're right - not a lot of "free stuff" - besides the view, and fresh air!
