Choosing the perfect Skagway tour

Your perfect Skagway tour may be seeing this bear. Sometimes it’s better to temper expectations and enjoy the ride.

You’re an adult with particular tastes, but you’ve never set foot in Alaska and you’ve never even heard of Skagway. What the heck kind of name is that, anyway!? Don’t you worry. We can help you find the perfect Skagway tour because that’s our job. We help countless people find a tour every day, and the vast majority are super happy. Some even give us a cash tip (recommended). But all of this unnecessary dialog begs the question, “How do I choose the perfect Skagway tour?”

You’re about to learn the secret of tour sales

Most businesses are apprehensive about giving away their trade secrets, but we live in a town of 800 residents in the middle of nowhere, so we have nothing to lose. The tour sales business may be a high-pressure affair in most places, but around here we just want you to enjoy your visit. We aren’t going to up-sell you or pressure you in any way. But we can provide some input to help you pick the perfect tour for your family or group. Let’s get started.

Sightseeing or adventure?

The first thing we need to determine is whether you are looking for adventure or just want to do a little sightseeing. We have many tours to accommodate people who are more active and those who just want to relax and enjoy the view. Anyone that says one is better than the other is being a jerk, so don’t listen to them.

Adventure tours are more active. They require some physical exertion or may test the limits of your nerves. A good example of the former would be a helicopter tour. These excursions are not physically demanding but you will be swept away in a helicopter and transported to a remote glacier. This is a great tour but not for everyone. You may prefer to take a short city tour. Ain’t nothing wrong with that.

Duration matters

You may be the kind of person that enjoys a long tour or a short tour. You may have to be back on your cruise at a certain time that makes longer tours prohibitive. Fortunately, there are tours for everyone because some are long and others are short. Your perfect Skagway tour could be either and I am not going to judge you.

Price is a thing

Most tour salespeople do not give a rat’s behind about your budget, but I do. I’m poor just like you. I can’t afford expensive tours either, and I am not going to make you feel bad about it. We all have a budget and we have to stick to it. If we don’t, credit card companies will make our lives miserable. I am just as happy sitting by a lake and contemplating life as I am shelling out $500 on a tour. That’s the truth, so if you are on a budget, don’t be afraid to say so. I can find you a tour you will love and you won’t have to take out a loan.
