Highly recommended this tour if you are interested in knowing glacier or just want to take some nice photos. Holly is our tour guide today, and she is very professional and friendly. A fun fact is that she has a good taste of playing music during our ride. You will meet another certified glacier tour guide, he is very knowledgeable and professional. This tour is friendly for a solo traveler.
This was my second trip to Alaska and was supposed to be my redemption. It exceeded my expectations! Hunter is super knowledgeable, funny, and made things so fun for the whole group. I was in awe the entire time. I have already recommended this tour and Hunter for my colleagues planning trips to Alaska.
Let me just say, that this was absolutely one of the best tours I have been on! Our guide Hunter was the best!!! He was so knowledgeable about everything in Alaska and would drop so much info about everything! He was friendly, funny and very attentive to our group! Would absolutely use this tour and guide next time I come back with my family!
I am a travel agent, I have been on many tours and booked many tours for clients. This tour was simply breathtaking, good for any age and it was an easy hike. What made this tour even better was Hunter! He’s very knowledgeable, we learned so much about Alaska! He has great energy which made the long day not feel so long. When I book tours I will always ask for him for myself or my clients.
Beautiful day lovely drive to the glacier and the guide Philip from Pic Tours was very friendly and accommodating. The Glacier tour itself was great and again everything ran very smoothly. The glacier itself was amazing and as my first experience I would recommend. The information given by both the guides was very knowledgeable. Philip from Pic Tours was very knowledgeable and added a lot more knowledge.
We thank you for sharing your thoughts about this excursion. At times we have found visitors to be less than satisfied due to our far North West Pacific weather. Our area is surrounded by and possess an abundance of wildlife and geological wonders such as glaciers. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee all sightings will be viewed since conditions varies by season, ocean tides, safety, third party groups and powerful Alaska weather conditions that can be mild-to-harsh year round. Again, thank you for sharing your experience. Please consider the writers bias when reading this review. We read all reviews and strive towards adjusting to meet our world-class ranking.
The Matanuska Glacier tour with Patrick was an absolute highlight! Patrick was wonderful, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. He even took extra time to share fantastic photography tips that completely elevated our pictures. Highly recommend!
Great experience and our guide James was fantastic. We’ve done a lot of tours this week and while all our guides were nice he was the most down to earth and friendly. Like he was just one of our group. Highly recommended.
The excursion to the Glacier is something you should not miss, especially if your guide is James who was very fun and was always looking out for the group and our belongings
Experience was amazing. All the tour was great thanks to James our guide from PickTours. He explained to us pretty well all the city highlights on the way to the glaciar. Karaoke singing in the roadtrip was great. Glaciar is a must go, is beautiful.
James was my guide, and he was outstanding. The entire experience was excellent, and I would highly recommend it
