Lumberjack show was fun, those guys are amazing. Swinging those axes and climbing, saws, great to watch how it is done. Culinary tasting was good. We thought it would be more of a lunch. Loved the history and artifacts that have been returned to where they belong.

We had a unique experience. There were only 6 people on the tour. The food tasting was great! The hosts were amazing. I expected more information on the culture than just a video. Lumber jack show was great. We showed up late so we did not have the best seats. Overall I would recommend this tour.

The Lumberjack Show was most entertaining. The Cultural Showcase was tasty. I was glad they showed the recipes for the salmon dip and the salmon chowder on the screen so I could get a pic of each.
