“We were a bit worried when the weather wasn't looking great cold and rainy, but it turns out it had been so warm that our trip was cancelled for safety reasons. They were great about the process, and it turns out they were able to reschedule us on a later tour! The guides were great - funny, knowledgeable, knew where to take us on the glacier for the cool photos! We aren't big hikers and were worried that the 5 hr hike would be too much, but I think it was fine for us. We stopped a decent amount and went pretty slow since almost everyone was new to using…”

“The best trip we’ve ever done. We did this trip in March and it is the best money we’ve ever spent. The whole trip lasted over six hours because it was such a beautiful day! Antoine is the best guide - so much fun, explained everything brilliantly, and knew how to push us without us feeling like we were!
