Really good and safe trip! I would really recommend this program if you are coming from China and you prefer talking in Chinese during the drive to the glacier.

First of all, this was an amazing experience, but I felt like the tour was lacking. The van provided was not a glass domed van. We were picked up at our hotel and the driver was super friendly and helpful. The listing stated drinks and snacks would be provided. There was bottled water available only. We stopped at a grocery store to purchase our own snacks and items for lunch. We then traveled to the glacier and met our tour guide. He was super helpful with difficult climbs, but I felt like we were rushed from spot to spot because we were told another group was waiting. There were several times we were asked to move along and did not get time to take pictures. He stopped in about 3 specific spots and took photos of each party. There were other tour groups that were provided with information about the glacier and took time to gather specimens and looks at different items in nature that were pointed out by the guide. I'm not sure if it was the same company and a difference in guide styles or if they were from different companies that ran things differently.

Daniel our driver and guide to the glacier was awesome! So knowledgeable and friendly! When we got to the glacier hike, our guide for that part of the tour was Will. He brought us up and onto the glacier. Will also was very knowledgeable about the glacier and made for a great overall experience. Super fun activity!!!

Outstanding view on the drive to and from the glacier but I recommend a hat for the full windowed roof of the van!! The sun can shine bright! The hike itself was stunning and interesting, the guide was engaging and sweet and helpful. Everyone was friendly and the experience as a whole was wonderful and memorable. I highly recommend.
