Great tour - The tour was great! Ryan was very helpful and his Communication was awesome. They provided spikes and assisted with putting them on so no one slips on the ice. The hike could have been a little longer but overall very detailed and hands on from the guides.

Honestly, the hike on the... - Honestly, the hike on the glacier itself was amazing! It was beautiful, and we had a super informative guide. Only thing that was t great was the van did not have any air and it was pretty hot and uncomfortable on the way home from the hike. Other than that, it was an amazing experience.

Don’t get your hopes up - Long drive from Anchorage. Experience was good - it just wasn’t great. Van driver was erratic. Glacier guide was fantastic. Wet, cold day in July but we were on a glacier so seemed normal.
