Our tour guide was excellent and very patient. The ice climbing was thrilling, and the glacier was spectacular. But Project Expedition subcontracted us out to troll.is without alerting us. We could not find our guide and he almost left without us because we were looking for the wrong company. We only figured it out when looking at the confirmation email carefully and noticing an email with a troll.is domain. So we ended up paying more. Next time we know to just go with troll!

I had an incredible experience on my glacier hike. My guides, Luis and Saule were incredibly knowledgeable about the glacier and climbing. I felt safe and confident throughout my hike/climb with their understanding of glacier landscapes along with their expertise in climbing management. I highly recommend this group as I promise you will enjoy your experience.
