History of Alcatraz coming “alive” in the audio tor. The boat ride audio also has plenty of stories- good imagination

Had to cancel this tour due to circumstances out of my control. Gave almost 3 weeks notice. Tour operator completely ignored my messages and only replied when I got in touch with his booking system agent. Refused to give any refund even given good notice. Probably sold the seats again and made double the profit. Very poor customer service and snotty replies when they eventually came. I understand tour operators have been struggling last couple of years but this is totally unacceptable behaviour. Spend your money on someone who deserves it.

I am sorry to read you had to cancel your tour. This tour is non refundable as you saw when you booked it. We are always happy to help people but I don't even know who is it to help. I can't remember anybody that we didn't help 3 weeks ago. Please email me at [email protected] please. Something to understand, if you can't go on a tour for any of your reason when it is non refundable. Then you want a refund and if you can't get a refund by rule you write a bad review this will never help you to receive a refund. But if we missed something we will help. So please send me an email.
