Step back in time with a sensational madam of the Red Onion Saloon, who will lead you through Skagway’s streets and alleys once ruled by Soapy Smith and the daring women of the Klondike. Hear vivid tales of Klondike Kate, Cad Wilson, and Diamond Lil—adventurous, lusty, and tragic lives that stampeded north.

 

You’ll be joined by New York Times Bestselling Author Marc Cameron, creator of the acclaimed Arliss Cutter series. As you pass historic 1898 buildings and notorious gold rush districts, Marc will interject exclusive anecdotes from his newest Cutter novel, highlighting how Skagway’s colorful past and atmospheric locations inspired scenes in his book. It’s a rare chance to see history through the eyes of both a madam and a master storyteller.

 

Your journey ends at the Red Onion’s restored Brothel Museum, where you’ll toast with champagne, explore relics and photographs, and perhaps encounter the whispers of ghostly Lydia.

 

This isn’t just a tour—it’s history, literature, and legend woven into one unforgettable Skagway adventure.
