Simple, walkable, and very much worth it! - Our guide was great! The trip was perfect. It gave us enough time to walk around, get a bite to eat, go on the boat and see the glaciers up close. It was perfect!

Breathtaking - Impossible to tell in 100 characters I travel more than 20,000 km, from minus 5 degrees to 35 degrees. The landscapes are magnificent

A tour everyone can enjoy - A tour of Perito Moreno Glacier is not to be missed! The balcony trails overlooking the glaciers allow for incredible photo opportunities and enjoying the views at your own pace. The boat tour gives another beautiful perspective from a safe distance out on the water. Pablo our tour guide and Gaston our driver were wonderful. We learned about the local geography of the Patagonia region as well as some of the animals native to the region. This is the perfect tour for all ages and abilities as there is no real hiking involved and there is a wheelchair accessible path to the balcony viewing decks. Highly recommend for anyone less adventurous who wants to avoid more involved trekking.

Must do in El Calafate!!! - We had the most beautiful trip with great views of the glacier. The boat trip is a must do, we were brought so close to the glacier. Our tour guide, Pablo, did an exceptional job telling us about the history of the glacier as well as the area. I would recommend this trip to everyone!!

Perito Moreno Glacier and north side with icebergs - I recommend the north side, icebergs, at noon if the temperature is not very low you can see calving of both the glacier and the icebergs. Walking along the walkways we were able to see 1 glacier calving and 3 icebergs. Beautiful, I would do it all again.
