Fredirik was an amazing tour guide... - <p>Fredirik was an amazing tour guide! We loved him. Lots of information about the surrounding area. Would hire him again in a heart beat. He was great with my two kids and never rushed us to get to places. <br/>
The glacier is AMAZING! You have to see this! Make sure you have warm clothing, coats, hats gloves, etc. Sneakers are not the best here. Hiking boots are better. They do have boots and snowsuits you can use if you don't have any.</p>
