Our tour guide was Kris. Very knowledgeable and fun. Arranged this glacier visit when due to matters beyond anyone’s control we could not do the one scheduled. Well let me tell you that was a blessing in disguise. Our guides Michelle and Michelle on the hike where great. Instructed us as needed, kept us safe and provided us with a once in a lifetime experience. Was worried this old grandma would not be able to keep up or finish but I did! Everyone in our group was beyond pleased! Would recommend this as a must do while in Anchorage. Beyond pleased with this company and all staff members!!!

So glad you enjoyed your trip to the Matanuska Glacier, particularly since that wasn't the original plan. It's great to have guests that are so flexible and have such a spirit of adventure! Thanks so much for taking the time to write such a wonderful review - we very much appreciate it.

Lori did an amazing job with this tour package. The van was comfortable, she gave so much insight to the region and surroundings, she made sure we had everything we needed, and she was just a great character to get to know. While you can get out to the glacier on your own, it was so nice to have Lori driving and have a hike guide so we could relax and just not think for the day. If you are looking to get out on a glacier while you are in Alaska, this is the tour for you.

So sorry a technical glitch kept us from responding more quickly - thanks so much for the lovely review! It was really fun having you out on tour to the Matanuska Glacier, and I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Hope the rest of your trip was fabulous.

This is a great experience, and our host Lori was so great and kind, before (via e-mails), during and after our tour. To be in the Matanuzka glaciar was the best we did while we were in Anchorage for a few days, and we took several tours. The guides at the Glaciar were great too; they really take you to the guts of this wonder of nature. This glaciar would be our recommendation number one if you visit this area of Alaska, and to do it with 907 Tours, I think it had an extra positive effect.
