5A Definite Must Do Tour!
This was our dream excursion! It did not disappoint. Francesco was our guide and absolutely fantastic with his knowledge, preparedness, and directions. He expertly guided us & was extremely intentional in our safety, so we felt extremely safe. Also, I would like to add we also enjoyed his humor. Plus he is a great photographer and took some of our favorite pics on this excursion (thank you!). My husband and I felt like he prepared us well for the hike and we took breaks, which helped. The hike was beautiful, but the glacier, there are no words. Absolutely beautiful and otherworldly. The hike is moderate endurance and includes going up the path made and down as well. Francesco though always checked in with the group and helped those who needed it. I would highly recommend this tour with Francesco! We will never forget it!
5This was an incredible...
This was an incredible experience, and I am so glad my husband and I did it despite the weather. Walking on a glacier and learning its history was an amazing experience we will treasure, but it's not an easy activity. You should be comfortable hiking moderate climbs with extra equipment. On a very wet, windy day, we hiked up the glacier. Monique led the hike, and we learned about the glacier, its ash color, and the changes it undergoes during the seasons. Because of the rain and the wind, the hike was a bit rough as we climbed uphill in muddy, wet conditions. The hike is about 8 km, so it can be challenging if you are not used to hiking, especially with the extra equipment (Ice pick, crampons, and a safety harness) that you have to carry. If you've never used crampons, it is a new experience that can be challenging, as it was for me. I ended up falling because we had to put the crampons on before getting on the ice, and I was not used to walking on it. That said, once I was on the glacier I felt very secure in the crampons and walking around.
5It is a highly...
It is a highly challenging, adrenaline-filled experience. I didn't think I’d make it, but it is a wonderful hike with beautiful scenery. I recommend wearing ankle-high boots; otherwise, you can rent them for an extra fee for greater comfort and safety.
5Stellar Experience
Really great hike with stellar views. It is not for the weak. We had a few people tap out half way. I think they would have been fine had they hung in there, but it is a very long hike. My advice would be do a lot of walking before you visit and you will be fine. The hikes probably a little over 10 miles total. Our guide was Lucas and he was great. He kept a nice slow pace so everyone could keep up and was very knowlegable about the glacier. I can't wait to come back again.

Was a really good experience the hike was. Enjoyed and feel really safe with the hiking Instructor….
5Once in a lifetime
We really enjoyed our hike on the glacier. This felt like a once in a lifetime experience and I’m so glad we got to do it. Finley, our guide was great. What fun to do the viking push up and drink the glacier water.
