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!
