Hi Annie I am so sorry that you had such a poor experience with us. We try our best, and usually succeed, at delivering top rated experiences. Unfortunately an issue came up with our assigned tour guide that morning and we weren't able to find another in time. We of course refunded your payment and offered you a free tour on another morning but you were not available. Our offer still stands and if you do find yourself in NYC again we would be more than happy to have you join us as my guest. Mike R Founder, City Fit Tours
