Mardonna Posted January 23, 2011 #1 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I was curious if anyone has experience with MGT in 2010? I'm interested in a tour they have that matches the Disney tour but much cheaper.....with a family of 6 it will make a huge difference. The website doesn't look very promising.....Let me know thoughts? Interested in Glacier, hachery and rainforest.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The website doesn't look very promising.....Let me know thoughts? Interested in Glacier, hachery and rainforest.... MGT runs a pretty bare bones company, which probably explains the website. But they've been in business for years, and appear to be well-liked by cruisers here and reliable. I don't see their buses broken down by the side of the road! They run old school buses out to the glacier only, but I wonder if they use some of their old tour buses for the more extensive tour. I guess it depends on what you want. They're going to get you to those three sights and give you some canned commentary along the way. I assume Disney will have a brand new bus, probably the same canned commentary, but perhaps the guide will be wearing a Goofy hat? The distance isn't great, so I don't think comfort matters, and once you're at the sights, there's no need for the tour guide. The hatchery and Glacier Gardens have their own tour guides and the glacier is a usual State Park, with rangers, informational panels and a visitors center. You know,that might account for the price difference. Does the MGT tour include entry into the sights? The hatchery is $5, I think, the Glacier Gardens is about $30, the visitor's center another $7.

Budget Queen Posted January 23, 2011 #3 Share Posted January 23, 2011 As noted above, MGT is a long time vendor, that runs excellent tours at great prices. My family has taken them a few times. Disney isn't going to be running the tours, a contractor is, so comparing the stops and time, is what may be the important comparism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
