The worse experience. Sophia the manager was very rude and unprofessional. She was screaming on the phone and when we get to our destination in New Jersey. She didn't let us go on the plane. She didn't answer the phone and refused to refund us our money.

You were called by Josephine on Saturday 9/5 to confirm your tour which was for 12:00pm on Sunday, you were not aware that the departure was from Kearny NJ. You stated that you would not be able to get at the heliport half hour before your tour because you had brunch at 10:00am it CLEARLY STATES ON YOUR BOOKING RESERVATION the time of check in so we gave you till 12:00 to come in on Sunday which you said it was no problem. Sunday came and Josephine called you at 12:15 and you said you were on the way, you asked her for the address to the heliport in NJ, so you were already late holding up the flight in which you were scheduled to go on and didn't know the address to where you were going to. When you finally did arrive which was at 12:39 a woman called and was told that there is a $50.00 per person rebooking fee which is actually $100.00 per person because you were over 1hr late, you didn't want to pay, so your flight was FORFEITED. You called on Monday 9/7 wanting to take your missed tour, you spoke to Jessica at the office and she explained to you that you had to pay $100.00 for 2 people and you refused, so you called Josephine at the heliport at Kearney she told you the same thing. You were rude to Josephine with your vulgar language on Saturday yet she was very professional no one deserves to be spoken to that way. You were the one who booked the reservation on line and chose the time of the tour. In the future I suggest that you read before making any bookings. BTW there's no one named Sophia in our office
