4.00The walk was out of this world - a once in a lifetime opportunity. A bit frustrated by the unupdated information on the exchange rate for park entrance, which resulted in us having to use a credit card instead of cash. A bit of a hiccup that left a bad taste about the tour group, and not the tour. The tour was AMAZING 😍
Fantastic!

4.00First off, the scenery is beautiful and the experience of hiking on a glacier is very cool. Our guides on the ice were great - very knowledgeable, fun, and safety conscious. Our group on the ice consisted of all English-speakers - and I know that everyone in our group of about 10-12 had a good time. The downside is that this was not truly a small group tour. We were picked up from our hotel in a large tour bus with about 40 other people, most of which did not speak English. The tour guide on the bus mostly spoke in Spanish and by the time she got around to speaking English which was very difficult to hear and understand, we were long past the site and had no context for anything at which we were looking. Also, the tour is expensive for what it is. Most of the time you're walking on platforms looking at the glacier by yourself and without a guide, and the ice trek is only a small portion of the day, so it felt over-priced. However, the ice trek itself was a great experience, so just know going-in, the tour is not exactly as advertised and it's expensive, but you'll still have a good time. And P.S., any remotely physically fit person can do this tour - no experience needed.
