DETAILS, DETAILS, DETAILS....
MINIVAN GROUPS UP TO 6 PASSENGERS--VEHICLE RATE OF $150 PER HOUR--4 HOUR MINIMUM
Upgrade to the limo van for a rate of $225/hour with a minimum booking of 4 hours.
Tours are offered at private hourly rates to explore the sights at your own pace. Hourly rates begin with a minimum booking of 4 hours. Rates are per vehicle not per person/per hour, unless you are really generous and like to support entrepreneurs and starving artists. That would be really great. It's been a really hard 2+ years...
DEPARTURE TIMES
Skagway Private Tours can help you plan your day to take advantage of windows of less traffic and avoidable delays. Early is best! To avoid the rush hour of large buses choose a departure time of 7:30am. 8-8:30 is a major excursion departure time and the road can become quite busy. With only one road out of town getting stuck behind slow moving buses up the mountain can cost us an hour of driving and stopping time. With tighter Canadian border restrictions we need to arrive early and depart before the masses.
Skagway Private Tours will not schedule tours if the return time is too close to your ship's all-aboard time. There is no need to feel time pressure while on vacation. Flexibility in departure time may be possible on slower days and if ships arrive or depart an unusually scheduled times so feel free to inquire.
4-7 hour tours depart daily at 7:30 am.
3 & 4 hour tours also available at 2:30pm.
TOURS PICK UP/DROP OFF AT THE END OF YOUR SHIP'S PIER OR IN TOWN. IT'S YOUR CHOICE.
Town is a short walk from each of the piers in town and there are also city shuttles between downtown and the docks for a small fee.
Minimal outhouse opportunities on shorter tours.
Flush toilet option only available on tours that include Carcross .
(If a tinkle in the woods is on your bucket list, this little detail should be a delight.)
HANDICAP ACCESSIBILITY NOTE: Storage space in the minivan is limited. Larger Motorized scooters may not fit in the mini van. Most tour stops have good views without leaving the vehicle.

TIME IS MONEY....BE ON TIME
Customers who arrive late to our scheduled departure time, or who forget passports/visas/Green Cards and have to run back to their ship will be cutting into their overall tour time. If this happens the tour may not be able to go as far as originally planned or we may need to cut out stops to make up for a later departure time.
If passengers decide on an early return, no refunds will be given for unused block of time. Customers who are turned away at customs for any reason will not be reimbursed for unused time. If this happens, Alaskan side options will be presented as an alternative for the remaining time.
VEHICLE OR GUIDE SUBSTITUTION POLICY
Illness happens. Mechanical problems happen. Life happens. In the unlikely event that your intended guide is ill and should not be driving your tour will go on with a substitute guide. This guide will be carefully chosen to give you the best tour possible. Skagway Private Tours will find an alternative company to provide your tour if our own guides are not available.
In the unlikely event that a mechanical issue rears its ugly head your tour will be conducted in a substitute vehicle. If the limo was booked at the upgrade price, you will be issued a refund for the difference in vehicle cost.

BOOKING AND CANCELLATION POLICY

50% refund if you cancel 7-14 days in advance less $250 DEPOSIT fee.

GOODWILL BONUS: for guests who must cancel and lose 50-100% of their booking fees, their $250 deposit will be applied as credit towards any 4+ hour tour option good for 4 years from date of original tour. This is non-transferable and original booking member must be present for the future booking.
WHAT IF MY SHIP FAILS TO MAKE IT'S SCHEDULED SKAGWAY PORT OF CALL?***

***Weather events, dock issues, natural disasters, illness outbreaks, and mechanical problems are the wildcards no one can predict. Every season we lose a few dockings due to unexpected reasons (UFO abduction has yet to be added to this strange list but after covid anything seems possible).
98% OF ALL CLIENTS BOOK WELL IN ADVANCE. SO EVERY CANCELLATION THAT HAPPENS CLOSER TO THE TOUR DATE MEANS THERE IS A VERY, VERY SLIM CHANCE TO FILL CANCELLED BOOKING LAST MINUTE.
