Victoria Afternoon Tea Customer Reviews

Average Rating: 4 stars out of 5
Victoria Day Trip with High Tea

The trip was fine. Seating on the Clipper from Seattle to Victoria was first come first served, so we didn't get to sit together for the three hour trip. We were running a few minutes behind schedule, so we were glad we made it at all. Tea itself was fine. The tea room was lovely. The sandwiches were all air dried and tasted a bit old. Not worth the price for sure! On the way back we made sure we got there early and waited patiently for over an hour only to find out that instead of first come first served, seating was done by ticket number! Thankfully we got to sit together and it was a fine trip back with plenty of room.
