I booked and paid for this tour for two people on Viator. We were on a cruise and this was our port stop. I got the date wrong and the tour company said they usually catch that, but the resold our seats. They would NOT give us a partial refund so we had to pay again for the Fortress of the Bear. I thought this was really unfair, that they got to keep our money and resold the tickets.

I am surprised that you would blame us for you booking the wrong day. On the day you were scheduled for we looked everywhere for you and lost out on selling the two seats as you were a no show! The next day you show up out of the blue after we sold out and now blame us. We wish you would called to let us know about the mistake. We are sorry you booked the wrong day . I pray the rest of your cruise stops where booked properly.

My wife and I really enjoyed this tour. Our guide, Lindsay, was phenomenal. She provided lots of great history about Sitka and the local wildlife. We weren't really crazy about the first part of this tour that stopped at the totem poles, since that is easy to do on your own. But the drive out to the see the bears was beyond worth it. The drive itself is beautiful, and we stopped along the road to admire the scenery. Lindsay gave us a ton of great information about everything we saw along the way -- all of it was fascinating. Once at the Fortress of the Bears, we had about 25 minutes to see the bears and listen to a presentation about their origin. This amount of time felt about right, given the facility houses 9 or 10 bears.
