What To Expect

Apgar Visitor Center

Apgar Village, nestled at the foot of Lake McDonald, is a lively stop along Glacier National Park’s Going-to-the-Sun Road. Named for early settler Milo Apgar, the village evolved from its farming roots into a hub for tourism. Visitors can rent bikes or boats, explore the Apgar Nature Center, shop for unique gifts, or enjoy local dining. Rich in history and cultural significance for indigenous communities like the Kootenai, Apgar Village offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, heritage, and outdoor adventure.

We arrived in Whitefish Montana and wanted to see West Glacier National Park. We searched tours for that area and Viator offered a tour for a reasonable price. The tour included pickup at your location, entry into the park, visits to Apgar Village, Belton Bridge, part of the Road to the Sun, Lake McDonald and Lake McDonald Lodge, Polebridge Mercantile and a very good lunch at that same location. We also stopped at Hungary Horse Dam on our way back. It was great to have someone else do the driving and our guide, Michael, was great. There were 9 of us on the tour and he answered all of our questions. He provided very informative information about the park and the areas we visited. Unfortunately, there was quite a long line of vehicles just entering the park. Michael spent more time than usual showing us the sights, and we felt that we got more than our monies worth of sightseeing and information. Great tour.
Glacier a la Michael!!

We scheduled this private tour through the west side of Glacier National Park through Viator with Tour Glacier and there was a glitch and our reservation did not get to the company. When I called the day before to clarify our pick-up details, the company did not have our reservation and were completely booked, like most tour companies in the area. Rather than turning us away, the company made special arrangements and accommodated our tour and still gave us the full experience, including lunch at a lovely picnic area by a lake. The owner of the tour company drove us himself, and he had great information about the areas we visited. We truly enjoyed the tour and two small hikes. I would highly recommend Tour Glacier!
