Well worth it! - Well worth it! Although we came in late to Port from our cruise, they were very accommodating to wait for us to start our trip. It was also dark so we did not get to see Victoria in all of its beauty however, Lydia, and of course Elsie were amazing. Lydia taught us so much about the town and the way that she described it. We could picture exactly the way that it looked I would highly recommend that you accommodated my grandmother who is traveling with us and has limited mobility . Extra bonus - The price was much better than the cruise price.

Have always wanted to do... - Have always wanted to do this. Steffen was an excellent guide with loads of information. But you should send out better information on finding the place. We had to ask on our ship for help so we would find it on time since we were only in port for a short time. We had no idea it was so far from port. Thank goodness the guest services on Holland America let us know we needed to take a shuttle to town, and how to find it once in town.
