Amazing tour with awesome guide

5.00Originally booked the White Pass rail excursion. Switched to this because I wanted to see the pretty lakes and this is cheaper than renting a car. The best decision I've ever made. The scenery was incredible. You get to see things you don't normally encounter during train trips (e.g. wildlife). Also the chance to just stop near a lake to take photos, walk around, and/or do some rock skipping, or stop in town for some ice cream and coffee. We've had all these, and the trip still cost less than train ride. Lunch is included in tour (dhal for vegetarians and BBQ chicken for carnivores). Also Frontier was great. I had an issue with my reservation early on and they resolved it quickly (emails were replied within the same business day). And I'm quite convinced by now that tour companies should hire people with broadcasting background as tour guides cuz Mike was AWESOME. He's fun (comedic timing on dad jokes lol) and knows his stuff, also takes good photos. Hands down the best tour guide, bar none. The only bad thing about the tour (which is not even Frontier's fault) is lack of good restroom. There are outhouses throughout the Klondike highway, which is a no-no (porta potty looks hell lot nicer compared to these). The guide will warn you to go to the restroom before heading out to the highway (both ways) and you better listen lol. The journey is about 2 1/2 hours each way so it should be bearable without bathroom break, but if you think your bladder is not up for it, maybe consider train trip (sadly). Would I choose this company again for a tour next time I'm in Skagway? (Which might be soon) Heck yea. 1000%.

5.00The tour guide was highly entertaining, seeing the sites, and experiencing Carcross ice cream was awesome. Definitely try a beaver shot at lunch!

5.00We were absolutely delighted with our excursion with Frontier and our driver guide Connor was a very intuitive and knowledgeable, friendly person who is a true nature lover. He was a careful driver, respected the wildlife and assured us that we would make our all aboard time, and we did. We saw moose, bears twice, mountain goats and lots of other animals at our lunch stop, the bbq chicken was deliciously home cooked and enjoyed after a week of restaurant food on our cruise. I spoke to several people who did the train and they were very envious of our sightings and experiences. Skagway is better seen with some flexibility, and Frontier Excursions small group (23 on our trip) is a real experience of Alaska and The Yukon.
Great time

5.00What a delightful day! Connor, our tour guide, was knowledgeable and oh so patient when it came to the stops throughout the day. Our family was in awe of the landscape and the kids kept asking "is it AI?!" because none of it looked real. We passed through three biomes, veered off to see a wild moose when a passenger spotted one, got to play with snow (and then sand) and ate solid food. If you are only in the cruise port for one day, this was a WILD and amazing way to see the Yukon. We even had enough time left over to go into the downtown area and look around.
Great experience
