If you have already paid, I think it's hard to "cancel the option" now...
Best to report to BBB after because they have given you incorrect information for you to make a decision to pay for the meal option.
There are some good food in Banff ... I dislike tour groups...作者: Nox 時間: 2013-3-11 10:19
I only joined tour because my parents told me the road condition is poor and a friend who was supposed to come along and drive suddenly decided not to come.
I can't call BBB about my parents, but about the tour, I really felt like being scammed.
Does Tourism Vancouver deal with complaints like the tour board in HK? Coz BBB takes a long time to reply, and by time they are done with the process, I would be back in HK already作者: 吳孟達 時間: 2013-3-11 10:48
BBB is not part of the government.
I don't understand why people always refer to BBB since they can't help you out.
15. Why can't BBB stop rip-offs and scams?
Many times, BBB does. Although the BBB system does not have legal and policing powers, BBBs provide information about marketplace fraud through reports to the public, media releases and alerts.
BBBs work closely with local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies, providing them with valuable information on potentially fraudulent activities. Many times, BBBs are the first to know about a developing scam and they alert authorities and the public. When a scam develops in one part of the country, the news travels quickly among BBBs that, in turn, alert the public in their communities.
The public can help to stop rip-offs and scams by contacting BBB before they do business with an unknown firm and by notifying their BBB of a potential scam. And always remember the wise adage, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is."作者: 布小熊 時間: 2013-3-11 10:53
That's right. I never search BBB. But I used yelp, tripadvisor, google..etc.
But that won't get Nox any thing back. I don't know what he can do now though when he is still traveling with the tour group.作者: 吳孟達 時間: 2013-3-11 11:33
Yeah, BBB should not be the place to go since we are complaining a Chinese business and no one care about it.
What he can do is simply search for all local chinese forum and write bad review about it.. Sorry to say that but it is not much you can do.
Another thing is, those tour is designed for senior Chinese or Chinese from oversea (Hk, China), this is why mostly they only serve Chinese food or well cooked steak since this is more suitable for the tour. And it is easier to manage the whole trip if everyone is eating at the same place...

Actually.... Korean food in Banff isn't bad, they deal with tour too... :p作者: 大C姐 時間: 2013-3-11 15:16
I think the best solution is be happy for the rest of the trip. Eat what ever they provide to you, if you don't like it. Then eat yourself. Have fun. You already on the thief boat, what can you do?作者: somewhereintime 時間: 2013-3-11 15:29
I was surprised too, because few years ago I joined the Banff tour (and also Europe tour) from Charming Holiday (from the office) and both are GOOD.作者: IcySugar 時間: 2013-3-13 15:59
