We booked the electric bicycle tour with Klondike and had the good fortune of having George as our guide. George is extremely knowledgeable about Skagway. He has local insight as to the best places to go on the trip. The electric bikes are in excellent condition and easy to ride. If you've never ridden an electric bike before, don't let it put you off, George gave us clear instructions, safety vests and helmets, and allowed us to take a short ride to get comfortable. You can choose to pedal off some of the calories from the ships buffets, or take it easy and use the throttle (twist throttle, much like a moped).
Then the tour began. We went to the airport, where planes flew overhead about 100m. We went to the main street area, and panned for gold, (yes, we found a little color!) and then went to the gold rush cemetery, where there George told us of battles between locals that ended up....well, I'll let George tell you himself. Don't miss the waterfall!
After that we went to some other interesting spots, heard about how the clock on the side of the mountain came to be, and ended up at a scenic overlook that was perfect for taking lots of pictures.
This excursion was the best of our weeklong trip to Alaska.
I would recommend Klondike Electric Bicycle tours without reservation to anyone who wants to have a great time while seeing all the interesting sights in Skagway.
Don't miss it!
Thanks again George, hope to be back soon!
