Historical Goodtime Girls Walking Tour and Brothel Museum

About this experience

Join one of the fun-loving madams on a 2 hour guided walking tour of Skagway’s historic streets and back alleys. Where women of the evening brushed shoulders with gold hungry men. Stories of Klondike Kate, Cad Wilson and Diamond Lil depict the adventurous, lusty, and sometimes tragic lives of hundreds of women who stampeded north.

Your tour will visit several cribs and districts, culminating with a stop at the restored Brothel Museum, located above the Saloon. Here, join a champagne toast and explore the halls and bedrooms of this celebrated brothel, observing original relics and images of the ladies who worked there. And you might even catch a glimpse of the resident ghost, Lydia!

- 2 hour guided walking tour through Skagway’s historic streets
