5.00Excellent glacier tour, you get to walk all around the glacier and you have an experienced narrator explaining the entire walk. James our tour guide did a great job getting us there and back explaining what to expect. Great day.

5.00What a great day! Our driver Patrick talked with great enthusiasm about Anchorage. James joined us on the glacier and took many pictures of us that we received directly on the way back. The hike on the glacier was very impressive with beautiful views. Afterwards Patrick from PicTours gave us some magnets and flower seeds. We can highly recommend this tour. Everything arranged to perfection!

Incredible anniversary celebration on a glacier

5.00Patrick was a very nice driver. He did a good job driving the highway and celebrated our Anniversary! Nick our guide on the glacier was incredible!!! So knowledgeable and chopped a piece of ice and carved it right in front of us in the shape of a heart and gave to us to celebrate our 35 th anniversary! I did feel bad for Nick with all the idiots assigned to our group at the lodge that kept wanting to do stupid and dangerous things on the ice… so sad people cannot listen and follow rules for their own safety! I would highly recommend this tour… so educational as well…
I had an amazing day on...

5.00An Enthusiastic Driver, an Outstanding Trip I had a wonderful glacier tour in Alaska and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The guide company was professional, well organized, and very friendly throughout the entire trip. Our guide was knowledgeable and explained the glacier, local wildlife, and environment in a very interesting way. The safety arrangements were excellent, which made me feel comfortable during the whole journey. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and the guide made sure everyone had enough time to enjoy the views and take photos. I really appreciate the effort the team put into making the trip enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour company to anyone visiting Alaska.
