Awesome
Lorenzo, our incredible instructor, made the glacier tour an unforgettable experience. He provided fascinating insights into the glacier’s history, and it was truly awe-inspiring to witness its grandeur before it might disappear. The price was undoubtedly worth it. We had a bit of a time overrun, but I was still thoroughly satisfied with the duration of the tour. The crowd size and atmosphere were perfect, creating an ideal setting for an immersive experience. This tour is a must-do for anyone seeking an extraordinary adventure!
Loved our day
We had a great day with Celine! She was knowledgeable about not only this glacier but many in Europe. Would highly recommend!
Terrible experience
I went with my two kids. I accidentally purchased an extra ticket. I immediately notified Troll.is and they came up with some lame excuse to not refund the accidental purchase. Money hungry people with no integrity.
Magical Glacier World!
The glacier hike was amazing! Nico, our guide was knowledgeable and shared great skills in helping us learn to use the equipment. The glacier is like another world. The ice is so clear and the water running across it was fascinating to see. The transformations with stone and water were amazing. Highly recommended to anyone willing to hike for an awesome adventure!
Fantastic tour!
We had an awesome tour! I was in Iceland with my girlfriend, and we were the only guests who had booked, so our guide Lorenzo set off with just us. He was very attentive to us, explained a lot to us, and was the perfect mix of laid-back and cautious. We had an incredibly good time and can only recommend the tour!!! :) For a bit more action on the ice, I would choose the climbing tour next time, but for a first-time contact with a glacier, the 3-hour tour was more than enough and provided a great first impression! We are super happy :)))
