The tour was very well organized and the guide Vanessa is really excellent, very knowledgeable and she goes way beyond the standard fact-listing - giving also a lot of historical context to her many stories, all in two languages. Five stars!

Everything is perfect. The boat isn't too crowded. You can bring your own picnic. There are thermoses and cold drinks, and tables for lunch. The stops in front of the glaciers and other sights are long enough to take photos. I highly recommend this tour from 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM, which includes the three glaciers and a guided walk about the first pioneer cattle ranchers. Thank you. In mid-April, be sure to dress warmly.

Guide's expertise on the history and geological background d of the glaciers visited. The up and close opportunity to see the glaciers and take memorable pictures. The very thorough organization of the tour and the impeccable service of all the personnel.

An incredible trip—everything was wonderful and perfect, with breathtaking scenery. I was traveling alone; I treated myself to this as a birthday gift, and I was surprised when they even sang “Happy Birthday” to me. Thank you to the entire crew. I highly recommend it.
