Ghosts & Good Time Girls Walking Tour

OVERVIEW

Join a madam from the Red Onion Saloon for a fun and informative walking tour through downtown Skagway! First, you’ll be greeted at your dock by costumed and highly entertaining Madam. After a quick shuttle transfer to town, she will guide you through the back alleys and former red-light districts of Skagway. Here, women of the evening brushed shoulders with notorious characters, wide-eyed stampeders, and dangerous odds. Stories of Klondike Kate, Cad Wilson and Diamond Lil depict the adventurous stories of the women who stampeded north. You will pass historic and haunted gold rush buildings as you learn of Skagway’s rich history and the women who helped make it what it is. Your experience culminates with a stop at the world-famous Red Onion Saloon’s restored Brothel Museum. Here, join in a champagne toast and explore the hallways and bedrooms of this celebrated brothel, observing original relics and images of the ladies who worked there. Bring your camera and you may even catch a glimpse of the resident ghost, Lydia!
