This tour was the next best option to hiking on the glacier! We got up close and personal with the glacier on a boat ride and short hike. The hike is over hills and soft gravel, but they offered hiking sticks to borrow for free. The logistics for the pick up for the tour was perfect. Our only complaint is that this was a large bus tour, so there was some waiting as other passengers had to use the restroom and get tickets at the front gate for the park. In comparison to a private or smaller tour, maybe we would have more time in the park. Otherwise, this is a great tour for an introduction to Perito Moreno glacier!
