Andrea was the most patient and kind guide, he took a lot of time to explain all the gear to us and had so much glacier knowledge to pass on to us. The exploration in the ice cave was incredible.

Hands down one of the best experiences I've ever had. Paz took us on a 3hr journey up the glacier. She was patient, knowledgeable, friendly, and a great photographer! There was not a single part of the journey where I felt unsafe. Thanks Paz! I would 100% do this again with you.

Genuinely a surreal experience!! The view was incredible, and our wonderful guide Andrés made sure we were safe, but enjoying. He was an incredible leader, historian and photographer for us haha! The glacier was so fun to walk on, and provided a nice challenge, where we had to earn the view. We went early in the morning (before sunrise) and got to see the sunrise while on the glacier and it was unforgettable. Andrés is amazing at his job, and we hope he continues doing what he loves. Definitely recommend the tour, and ask for Andrés as your guide!

We had an amazing glacier hike and ice cave exploration with our guide Óskar. We were lucky enough to have a 2 and half hour private tour and even with a bit of a stormy moment at the top it was definitely worth the price and was an excellent experience.

We very much enjoyed the tour. The small group setting worked really well, as it made the hike safer, easier to manage and kept communications effective. The guide was excellent. She assisted us with our gear, showed great concern for our safety, kept the pace suitable for all members young and old, and provided useful information about the glacier.
