It was an excellent tour. Bob, our guide, was very knowledge and authentic. He was intuitively conscientious about the well being of everyone on the tour.

At the beginning of the trail hike, we realized that it was going to be too much for us and, based on the guide's recommendation, we backed off and enjoyed a nature walk with another guide. We rejoined the group for the float trip and it was very nice. The guides were excellent and, overall, it was a great experience! Perhaps the degree of difficulty could be clarified in the excursion description.

The tour guy was very informative and seem very passionate about his job. He was punctual and was very accommodating since we had our five-year-old with us. The hike was almost exactly 2.5 miles like stated and my five-year-old did it without a problem.

This was such a fun and educational excursion. We really enjoyed the hike. It was a little arduous but my 83 year old father handled fine. I was impressed with how careful they were to keep us safe and comfortable. Joe, our guide, was very knowledgeable and entertaining. I'm glad we chose to do this

Jayce was a fabulous guide and was very patient with us as we were having some trouble on the first part of the hike. She's very knowledgeable about the area!

Excursion was great but our guide seemed uninterested in providing much information about the historical and environmental aspects of the area.

Our tour guide, Brian, did a great job, and we really enjoyed our hike and float down the river. Brian did a good job of sharing the history of the Chilkoot trail and pointing out plants and trees unique to the region.

Great tour and Ryan, our guide was very knowledgeable. We walked the first part of the Chilkoot Trail which the Yukon Gold miners had to walk. It was a nice challenging hike the first 45 minutes and easy going the rest as we walked down the mountain to meet up with our raft. Ryan pointed out all of the local fauna and told us many stories of the Minors difficulties to trek over the 33-miles.

Great time hiking the trail and relaxing float down the river. Becca our guide was awesome! She was such a joy, very informative and fun. Three of us are in our mid-50's a little out of shape but were able to do the hike. So glad we did, learned all about the forest, the plants the trail that the gold miners had to endure. Highly recommend this excursion!

Jim who met us at the boat was a great guy. Then Bob took us in a van to meet and pick up the other people. He drove us into the forest and explained all about the town and its history. Whenever got to the trail we were given walking sticks and before we began a chance those the restroom. All along the hike he explained plants, what to do if we saw a bear, the different trees and we had stops along the way. Bob kept his eye on me because at 65 I was the oldest and most out of shape. We hiked 400 feet up and then down. There were steps in places but lots of tree roots. Then we put on rubber boots and he paddled down he river. Beautiful hike and float. Loved Bob.

Excellent enjoyable tour. Just myself and husband and an Australian couple and 2 knowledgeable guides, Ryan and Bryan. A minibus took us to the start of the walk. This was a fairly tough hike through a forest trail but there were plenty of stops where guides showed us particular plants, including various lichens and devil's claw and edible plants which we tried. There were signs of animals such as bears claw marks. Ryan was explaining the bear spray, a strong pepper spray which he always carried but had never used, when we heard a crashing in the undergrowth and were surprised to glimpse a bear, who made a hasty retreat from us! On reaching the river we swapped walking boots for the provided wellies and boarded the inflatable raft for a lovely float down the river, passing bald eagles nests and other interesting features. We then had a snack of fruit juice, biscuits and salmon jerky, before being transported back to our starting point. Altogether a great day out.

This was the ighlight of our visit to Alaska. The weather was perfect and Brooke our guide made this fun and very informative. She new the history of the trail, Skagway and the area. She was able to speak to topics of history, herbal medicine and Alaska politics that wove into the beauty of our hike and float. I've never been on a river raft and it was amazingly relaxing, safe and again filled with breath taking views. We didn't see any animals or birds large than a red squirrel but you can't schedule nature. this is a trip not to miss if in Skagway. The hike was a little tough for since we're not the most active types but Brooke moved at good comfortable pace and kept a close eye on us. At the end of the float we were met by the rest of the crew with some amazing snacks and friendly banter. Thanks for a great trip.

A good guide can make a trip like that and ours was excellent, I would add we were lucky with the weather. The trip can only serve to make you hold in awe the early prospectors who went on the trail.
