AMAZING

5.0Ben was our tour guide and he was great!! Just as advertised, we stopped at a grocery market to buy food, snacks and any last minute items to keep us warm. The shuttle doesn’t have the best insulation so your feet are going to get pretty cold on the drive up, I’d recommend buying plenty of foot warmers and putting them ON the drive up and another when you’re about to take the hike. Ben made sure to keep us entertained and also provided some tips on how to stay warm. The hike was great! They provided us with a lot of information and always made sure we weren’t getting too cold. Morgan was our guide on the hike, I’d recommend booking this tour! :)
This was a quite good...

5.0This was a quite good experience! They drive you to the glacier and then you have a glacier tour guide to take you to the glacier and show you the glacier knowledge! Quite cool. You need to really dress warm. Face coverage is a must.
Gorgeous

5.0Beautiful trip. Well worth it and what a unique experience. Even the winter chill was not too bad. Just make sure you have lots of layers and bundle up.
A definite must do

5.0Highly recommend!! A once in a lifetime experience. Our guide, Thomas (I believe that’s his name), was fabulous. He was very knowledgeable and friendly.
Amazing tour, very worth it.

5.0The tour was amazing! Starting with Ina, she was a very kind guide and a very smooth driver. On the way to the glacier, she explained a bit about the Glacier and gave some insights about Alaska, Anchorage and some small towns we drove by. We stopped at Fred Meyer around 1 hour after we left Anchorage to grab something for lunch. Nick was our tour guide on the Glacier, and you could really see that he is very knowledgeable about it and has been doing these tours for quite some time. He explained things in great detail and was always willing to answer questions. The tour didn't disappoint me and although the price is a little bit in the expensive range, at the end of the day I was very happy and amazed by the tour, so I think it was all worth it!
