Impressive tour…! - Absolutely a fantastic experience… we’ve spend the day with our guide Julian, and he managed to make our hike unforgettable. The weather was challenging, yet due to his enthousiasme for the area and glacier, thorough support and guidance, we made it to the glacier. An impressive experience, highly recommend!

Great adventure! - It is a difficult trekking, which is worth keeping in mind. You should only do this one if you are confident in your abilities, and you are moderately fit, mostly because it's a long trekking. That being said, it was really, really good. It was fun, the views were amazing, we walked through various zones of nature, with variety of soils, plants, mushrooms, trees, birds. Even the doggies were very friendly (they live nearby farms). The glacier is impressive, with ice caves, cracks, incredible blue and green tones. Walking on it was an unforgettable experience. Also, our guide (Julián) was extremely nice, and also taking care of everyone in the trip. He was very helpful and considerate checking every step, specially when the terrain became a bit more difficult. Another thing to consider is that the experince may vary a bit considering the weather, though we did it with a bit of fog and rain showers (on our way back) and it was still amazing.

More Mud but Incredible Views. - Gisela was wonderful! She had a nice casual pace that didn’t leave anyone behind. The scenery was amazing! The hike itself was very muddy and slippery at times. Bring layers of clothing and good waterproof boots. The snack of nuts hit the spot at the right time and the sandwich was DELICIOUS! Plus love the Alfajor! The hike is like 14km round trip and steep at times. Great time and highly recommend! Don’t be afraid to slide down the glacier(where allowed!). Fun.

Expensive but worth it - Amazing experience with very good guide. You have to be in good fitness! Beautiful views! The tour is expensive because you just pay someone to go with you but everything in Patagonia is expensive 😂.

Definitely worth the effort - It's a challenging, but rewarding experience. Using trekking poles is certainly useful with the terrain keeping balance across roots, mud, etc and on steep section. The pace we took was quite reasonable and still made good time.

An unforgettable experience - My partner and I did the expedition to Vinciguerra Glacier and Emerald Lagoon, and it was just spectacular. From the beginning, Nicholas made us feel comfortable and safe. He is a very professional guide, close and with a thorough knowledge of the whole area. The trekking was perfectly adapted to our pace and with clear explanations. Thanks to him, we were able to enjoy each leg of the tour to the fullest. The views of the glacier and lagoon were breathtaking, a landscape that truly surpasses any photo. We recommend this experience 100%. If you are looking for an authentic and personalized adventure in Ushuaia, this is the ideal one.

Good experience! - The walk was very good and the view at the top and from the glacier. I could’ve done the hike solo but then I wouldn’t have been able to go onto the glacier. It was my first time on a glacier so for me it was worth spending some extra money. I like the fact that the agency cares about sustainability and takes this into account with the packed lunches. The guide was very nice but I would’ve liked to have learned more about the surrounding area. It might’ve had to do with the fact that the guides English was fairly limited and not good enough to give in depth information and stories. All in all a very good experience though!

Only in good weather - Only recommended in good weather. Unfortunately the weather was pretty bad, although it is announced only at nice Feasible the tour was made. I volunteered not to participate although with a good 60 years of mountain experience (hiking guide), safety was more important to me, although the Guids are very well trained and professional Participate in nice weather, but book at short notice
