We used them also, they were great. There was a mistake with our reservations so they gave us the local rate and we saved $100 per person!! We would absolutely use them again and will when we make it up there.

Keep in mind the walking and trekking are two different things. If you just want to walk on a glacier, then that is probably what you'll get through Royal Tours in Juneau. Probably Mendenhall glacier, which you can also take a bus to if you want to walk around it. You'll get within 1/2 to 1/4 mile I'd estimate. If you want to trek (hike) the glacier, then try the link above.

You can also do the helicopter rides that land on the glacier and let you walk around a bit... for me this was the most impressive...
