5.00Our guide was Anna and she was amazing! This is probably the coolest and most adventurous tour we have ever been on as a couple. Highly recommend this tour to anyone! The views up on the glacier are absolutely breathtaking.
Fantastic experience!

5.00Our guide Maria was fantastic - she was extremely patient with the people struggling with equipment, and with one member of our party who was in a bad mood and less than polite. She was a saint! The glacier hike was stunning, with gorgeous ice formations and beautiful views back down to the coast.
Wonderful

5.00Love our guide Maria! She's experienced and super caring. Took extremely good care of my 10yo daughter throughout the hike by holding her hand and keeping her company. Wonderful guide and staff at trolls expedition are experienced and warm too. 5 stars!

2.00We do not like the tour. It was a mockery. To much money and saw almost nothing. It took an hour to come on the glacier and we scribbled on the ice for a small hour and see no caves or anything.Than go back, another hour. Terrible
