It was a really nice hike. Our guide Suse was able to tell us a lot about the glacier and we had enough time on the ice to discover everything. We didn't find the hike very strenuous, but absolutely doable, and we always paid attention to the entire group. Suse was really great, you can tell that she's really enthusiastic about it. There is only one point deduction for the fact that we still had to drive a bit to the glacier in our private cars. For the price we would have expected an organized shuttle, but in the end it wasn't a problem.

Our tour was a 5-hour glacier hike (3-3.5 hours on ice). We covered quite a bit distance. The tour exceeded our expectations. Our guide (Sammie) is excellent. She covered everything PLUS a little bit more (let's keep it a secret so that it doesn't spoil your tour) ! We had a great time on the glacier.

Despite the rainy weather, our guide Lucian made it an interesting hike and showed us so many different features on the glacier. Really enjoyed the small group size. The only feedback I have for Troll Expeditions is to note in the reminder email that bathrooms are not available at the meeting spot.

Fabulous experience with an excellent guide who adjusted the pace to suit the group. The enthusiasm of our guide really enhanced this wonderful hike. We felt very safe at all times and would thoroughly recommend this company

Our guide Vincenzo was amazing! It is so special to be on the glacier. Definitely recommend.
