Operated by Opatrip.com Canada · Whitehorse, Yukon
The tour starts where the city's heart begins to beat against the Yukon River—a low, restless current that dares you to look back at the trail of history it carved. Your guide waits with a map and a handful of stories; the first steps take you past the riverfront boardwalk where fishing boats bob and gulls quarrel over the morning catch. The city is compact but layered: wooden storefronts from the gold rush rub shoulders with modern glass, and the skyline is punctuated by a single glowing clock and the hulking silhouette of the SS Klondike, retired to dry land.
