woodz Posted June 8, 2004 #1 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Has anyone used independent tours in the ports? Good or bad experiences?

mary4165 Posted June 8, 2004 #2 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Yes, we were in Alaska in May and booked our tours indepently. I found that it was a much better experience as we in small groups versus 500 people from the ship. In Skagway we had our own guide and rode in a Jeep 4x4 into the Yukon. Contact me if you want to go this route. Mary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodz Posted June 9, 2004 Author #4 Share Posted June 9, 2004 In Skagway, is the White Mountain Pass train directly on the dock? In the pictures it looks like you just walk off the ship and onto the train. I don't need to give the ship and extra $10 per person (8 of us) if the train is already within walking distance. Thanks for the info.
