Trip No Show with No Notices and No Refunds

1.00Viator sent us muliple messages asking us to be 30 minutes early for our bus-ferry-bus trip from Vancouver to Victoria BC. We got there 30 minutes early and waited for over an hour in the cold for the bus to show. Turns out the ferry had been cancelled due to bad weather. Viator never let us know and still haven't refunded us despite the fact I called and asked for a refund. Viator is very good at sending out multiple automated messages including the one to review them - so here I am. I would strongly recommend you not book with Viator since they are disconnected from the services they say they are providing and don't provide updates if there is a problem.
Not the most efficient use of time.

3.00We weren’t aware that we had an hour wait at the train station. In the off season there are only a few stops so there is a large time gap between pickup and boarding the ferry.
The trip was fine but bus...

3.00The trip was fine but bus boarding in Vancouver was not as organized as it could be, noted were able to quickly retrieve a item that we thought was lost on the ferry

Seamless Travel Transfer!

5.00The motor coach/ferry transport was pretty seamless. We checked in at the bus station and boarded at the prescribed time without any problems. Our luggage was handed appropriately and we were off! The ride to the ferry was comfortable and took a little over an hour. The bus drove onto the ferry and we exited the bus to go find seating. The ferry was ride calm and many passenger services were available. We returned to the bus after the announcement was made. Exiting the ferry was just as smooth as boarding. The trip to downtown Victoria was a breeze. The bus driver was super courteous and helpful but very difficult to understand (due to a strong accent). Our group had to ask other passengers for assistance in understanding the spoken information.
Good smooth transfer

4.00We left Vancouver without any issues. Sailing on the ferry was good. When we got off the ferry our bus broke down and we had to wait to get another one to collect us. We had limited time to visit Victoria and this lessen it due to our late arrival.
Easy way to travel to Victoria

5.00Easy way to get to Victoria! The bus goes right on the ferry, and your luggage is locked in the storage area of the bus. So keep any items you may need for the journey on your person.
