Client reviews.

What travelers tell us afterward.

We do not run a review-collection program, and we have not published anything a client did not say. If you would like to speak with someone who has traveled with us before you book, ask and we will arrange it.

• Erika, a million thanks to you first and foremost. Our adventure to Churchill was more than I ever dreamed! Erika set us up with a couple of unforgettable trips this year: first to Antarctica way back in January and just recently to Churchill, Manitoba. We told her what we were looking for and she made it happen. We appreciate all of her hard work and HIGHLY recommend going with Glacial Expeditions.

• 10 day Alaska Glacier Cruise and 5 day Canadian Rockies adventure perfectly coordinated by Erika and Chris Commisso. Cruise, transfers, hotels, excursions all booked and paid in advance to make this a relaxing and fun vacation. Great guidance on narrowing and pre-selecting cruise excursion options given Erika's knowledge from multiple cruise visits to Alaska. We are repeat customers.

• Went on a Discover Churchill Polar Bear trip with Erika and Chris. Every detail was managed perfectly; it was a very relaxing and fun trip.

• I have booked travel with Glacial Expeditions twice now — Antarctica and Churchill. Every detail has been perfect and tailored to my trip needs and wants. I would highly recommend travelling with Erika for your future travel plans.

• We love the personal attention to details we always get with Erika and Chris. We just tell them when we want to travel and they always come up with a better deal than I can find online! We have 2 more trips planned with them :) They are easy to reach by phone or email and are quick with their response. Try them and you'll be hooked on the personal service.

• Erika has helped us to plan 4 vacations and we couldn't be more grateful for her services. Her attention to detail and ease of using the Trip Plans app for all confirmations is superior to anything we've experienced with other travel advisors. Erika has planned large reservations for us such as cruises and airfare — as well as smaller reservations such as trains and water taxis! From the moment we leave our home, until we return, every detail is taken care of! Finally, Erika is so well traveled that her personal advice and recommendations for our vacations are priceless!!

• We have used Glacial Expeditions for two different trips. One was a corporate event and they helped book the hotels, which was super helpful since we needed a larger room for meeting with the team. They also booked our personal trip to Iceland. We had such a wonderful time in Iceland. There were several things we would not have chosen to do on our own, but with their experience and recommendations we were so glad we did those excursions because they were some of our favorite things to do. Iceland was by far one of our favorite trips we have ever done — and not having to deal with planning made it even better. While I used to love to plan our trips, there are too many options out there, so having someone knowledgeable about vendors, hotels, and locations is extremely helpful and time efficient. I highly recommend the team at Glacial Expeditions! They are hands on and really care about your experience.

• Erika was FANTASTIC planning our honeymoon at Le Tikehau Pearl Resort!! She thought of every detail including Tahiti escorts and transfers. I give Erika 10 stars — no detail was missed and it was the best trip I have ever taken, all thanks to Erika our honeymoon was magnificent!

• I just returned from a trip to Costa Rica which was arranged for me and my daughter by Glacial Expeditions. The trip was wonderful. We had really nice hotel accommodations that met our expectations as to the location, ambiance, surrounding areas and activities, and overall quality of service. The excursions Erika arranged for us were super and were exactly what we had asked for — small groups, beautiful natural environments, adventure packed! Thank you Erika for making our vacation all that it could be!
