I did not attend. I asked for a refund because I got dizzy and nauseous going up the mountain to Sausalito. My stomach couldn't take anymore. Please refund me. I don't plan on making any more trips to San Francisco. I would appreciate it so much.

Hi there, you'll need to reach out to Viator for a refund as that is where you placed your order. However your 1 Star review goes against us though here at Blue & Gold Fleet, which we probably don't deserve because of the weather. If there is anything else we can do here please let us know.
