The glacier experience was phenomenal. The guides were very knowledgeable and patient. Due to our physical abilities we were given an individual guide who was wonderful. Our only issue was with transportation to the glacier. There was a lot of waisted time picking us up ( was late) and getting us to the destination ( too many stops). The van was too tight for the length of time and the amount of people.

We had an incredible experience on the Matanuska Glacier tour thanks to our guide, James. He was extremely knowledgeable about the glacier, the surrounding landscape, and the history of the area, and he shared everything in a way that kept the group engaged from start to finish. His energy and enthusiasm made the tour even more enjoyable, and he did a great job making sure everyone felt comfortable, safe, and included throughout the experience.

What a great day! Our driver Patrick talked with great enthusiasm about Anchorage. James joined us on the glacier and took many pictures of us that we received directly on the way back. The hike on the glacier was very impressive with beautiful views. Afterwards Patrick from PicTours gave us some magnets and flower seeds. We can highly recommend this tour. Everything arranged to perfection!
