Ghosts & Goodtime Girls Walking Tour Skagway, AK ?

[Raya]

I've heard a lot about the other excursions in Alaska, but nothing about this tour. Has anyone taken this excursion? Can you share your experience?

I did this last month, but booked it direct, not through dcl. We really enjoyed it. For us, it started in the middle of town, where we met the madam who was already with a small group. I imagine they came from a cruise ship, but the tour started when we met up with them. She just had to scan the tickets on my phone to be sure we had paid. We walked around the town for about 1-1 1/2 hours which included a small restroom break. She showed us lots of original brothels that are his hotels or restaurants. We checked out a couple of creepy haunted spots. We practiced how to walk across the street as a lady of the night. Then we ended up at the Red Onion Saloon. We were taken up to a private room above the bar and shared a toast before touring the famous brothel. We went through a bunch of rooms, saw a lot of relics, and heard about the brothels spirits. They have one that really doesn't like men, but will show up in pictures sometimes. Our guide was really good, and my dh wasn't too excited about this, but ended up loving it...even when we left with the face of the ghost in one of our pics! All the guides were freaking out & had us text them the pic. You can even see it blink when you use the live view on the new iPhone. I would definitely do this again, but we did leave the teens onboard.

Wow! That sounds great! We go on ghost tours everywhere we visit and I've never gotten a photo. Jealous!

It was super creepy! I love ghost tours too. One of my favorites we did was an evening walking tour in London of Jack the Ripper. We hit all the spots were victims were found and then ended up at the Ten Bells Pub were he was believed to have followed some victims from...so interesting!
