5.00This is a great tour. Our trolly driver Wayne was so informative about Juneau and pointed out places of interest on the way to the glacier. He gave recommendations on the trails once there and on the way back to town gave reviews of the best restaurants! The glacier was beautiful the hikes to photo very easy and the waterfall hike was refreshing and the weather while cold was pleasant!

5.00Bus ride to the Glacier is quick (~20-25”). We traveled with an 8 and 10 y.o. who enjoyed all the hiking in the Park. Strongly recommend taking the trail to the Falls; spectacular and a easy walk
