The Convenience of a Rental, the Informative Fun of a Tour!
DIY Jeep Tours offers you all the freedom of a car rental with the convenience of a self-guided tour! All of our vehicles are now equipped with interactive tour guides. We also have a mile-by-mile guide that features all of the historic and scenic stops! Located in southeast Alaska, Skagway offers the perfect vacation with world famous historic sites; spectacular scenery, and unique charm. We are the ‘Gateway to the Klondike’ and the Yukon Territory, home to some of the most spectacular scenery and wildlife you’ll find anywhere!
Why We’re Different:
DIY Jeep Tours offers the only tour of its kind in Skagway! Better than a Skagway car rental, you have your own personal Jeep for the entire day… it’s part rental car, part tour, and the best of both! No more being pushed to leave when you want more photos, or having to wait when you’re ready to roll on. Stop and go at your leisure, visit the sights that interest you and skip those that don’t. You control the interior temperature, speaker volume, length of stops… even the amount of tour narration you receive!
We’ll provide you with all the information you’ll need for a memorable day in both Skagway and the Yukon. Because we are locally owned and operated, we are dedicated to helping you have a wonderful vacation with unforgettable memories: just compare our customer service and see the difference! Don’t rent a car in Skagway….rent a Jeep and take a self-guided tour for the whole family.
