A must do tour in Alaska - This was one of the best tours of my life.
Didn’t know what to expect, but the tour guide are so knowledgeable and takes so many safety precautions that you feel safe just following them. It was the best hike with a wonderful view. It was just mesmerizing seeing this beautiful glazier. The highest Valley Glacier in Alaska.

An unforgettable experience! - Amazing tour with an amazing guide! Gary took great care of us, not only did he know so many interesting facts he also had plenty of stories to share. Forget something? No worries! “Aunt” Gary’s got your back. He had water, snacks, sunglasses, gloves, and extra jackets prepared for all of us. Only on this tour can you drink glacier water right from the source and get glacial facials leaving your face looking better than ever! Our trip would not have been as great as it was without this tour. Special thanks to Alex for helping us arrange all these fun activities!

Great day out on the glacier! - This was a really great tour experience. We booked during low season, and Anchorage had just received a massive snowfall; so what was supposed to be a small group tour turned out to be a private one! We met our wonderful guide Dan at the intended meeting point, and he spirited us away in a very roomy, comfortable shuttle van. En route, he briefed us on what to expect at the glacier, and provided us with all kinds of interesting info about the area. The hike was also really great - - it was a cold day, so we made good use of our parkas, snow pants, winter boots, hats and mittens -- you definitely will need them on the hike around the glacier if you're visiting in the winter. Our guides at the glacier were also excellent; very friendly, informative and courteous -- and importantly, safety conscious. One thing to note: you'll have a driver/guide, and a glacier guide -- so prepare yourself to tip accordingly. We didn't realize this was the case, and had to Venmo Dan a tip at the end of the day (which was well-earned!). All in all, would definitely recommend this hike to anyone visiting Anchorage!

A must do experience! - We were looking for a tour while in the visitors center and the woman behind the counter suggested we speak to Dan who was outside at the coach. He was so informative about what the day would entail We signed up right then and there.
He brought us to the glacier and our tour guide Nick lead us onto the glacier. It was spectacular! Highly recommend this company.

Fantastic trip! - Amazing!
The glacier was, of course, spectacular! Our glacier guide Adam was knowledgeable and funny.
Our driver Dan was so lovely!!! He went out his way to make sure the car journey was comfortable and told us all about the different areas we passed through. He also made sure to point out moose and other wildlife we passed.

Great tour experience with Dan - This tour is full of joy and excitement! Dan is very professional, kind, patient and friendly. He introduced us a lot about Alaskan culture, food and landscapes and we learned a lot. I will definitely recommend this tour to my friends and families!

False advertising, unfortunate experience with management - Our driver was a lovely and friendly person, so this doesn’t apply to him. We had a terrible experience with the management. 3 things were not as advertised—
1. It says a max of 14 people. We had less than that in our car to get there (only 4), but our glacier hike group was over that. Obviously there were lots of people on the glacier as a whole, which is no biggie, but our tour group on the glacier itself was over 14. This lead to large crowds all trying to take pictures and distracting from the nature before us. They rely on a third party to do the glacier walk, and don’t have control of how many people that third party books— would have just been nice to know/expect.
2. No provided snacks despite that being stated. We didn’t expect lunch or anything because that was clearly excluded.
3. We were given the wrong start time leading us to sit in cold and drizzling rain waiting for the tour to begin. We had confirmation in various emails from TripAdvisor and Viator, including the ticket itself from Viator, with the time; leadership did not inform us of any new start times despite claims. This was not that big of a deal, but when I called out to leadership they acted as if the new summer hours were obvious (they weren’t as both TripAdvisor and Viator were not aware).
Overall we were just frustrated at how management spoke to us when these issues were brought to light. I’m sure they’ll be pleasant if they reply to this comment, but we just got a bad feeling about the management.
