Beautiful views, once in a lifetime kind of experience

Beautiful views. Lots of interesting information on the way to the Icefields from the friendly guides. Lots of information given about climate change and how it is affecting the Icefields which I thought was great! Crowds were huge, lots of people around.

Great!

Loved how efficient the tour was, everything was seamless, probably would have liked a bit more history from the tour guides but what they did provide was entertaining for sure! Recommend for anyone running through the ice fields.

Not worth the cost. At all.

This is not worth the cost. You are on the glacier for 20 minutes. And the "fresh glacier water" you can collect in a water bottle has been walked on by many people. Kinda gross. Especially when I saw someone spit. This is definitely a tourist trap and you would be better to spend it on a nice dinner or even on souvenirs. The skywalk was no where near the glacier and only an overhang that wasn't worth it either. It was very disappointing.

Great Guide. Poor advertising

Loved the trip to the glacier with Chris who was excellent. Did not expect the skywalk to be at the side of the road based on the pictures in the advertising Didn’t really want to take that walk bc I expected it to cantilever over the glacier as it looked in the photo
