Exellent for people with food allergies - Great for someone with food allergies, including the need for gluten free. I highly enjoyed the food and the company of the other people on the tour. The guide was excellent at initiating conversation amongst strangers and keeping us entertained the entire time.

Poor customer service - Six of us did not attend the tour as our ship notified all passengers just hours before the tour was to start that they were cutting our time in Victoria for unknown reason. We were required to be back on board before the tour was to begin. Contacted the tour company of the problem but no refund, full or partial, or even rain check for future use. Poor customer service.
