    Tour hostess was the best I've ever had, and I've travelled a lot. I am recommending to all that I know who travel, for something different. Opened my eyes to climate change.

    H2 of the 3 hotels were the best. The middle one was awful.

    My most memorable experience was getting up close to the glaciers via the zodiac boats and seeing wildlife in the parks.
