Out of the ordinary!

Milly has been a wonderful guide. We didn't know that the cities of Hoboken and Weehawken (New Jersey) were so nice. Thanks for all these discoveries!

We'll be sure to share your kind words with Millie. She loves introducing guests to these hidden gems and sharing the history, stories, and unique character of the area. Thank you for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back for another memorable experience soon!

Too short-term cancellation by organizers to plan even differently

Tour was scheduled to take place at 6:30 p.m. Hours before cancelled as we were the only guests. Money was refunded immediately, were already on the way to the meeting point by taxi. So taxi paid for free and also had no lights ride.

Operator response

Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback, und es tut uns sehr leid für die kurzfristige Absage Ihrer Skyline Night Tour. Leider musste die Tour aufgrund der zu geringen Teilnehmerzahl abgesagt werden, und wir verstehen vollkommen, wie enttäuschend dies war — besonders nachdem Sie bereits auf dem Weg zum Treffpunkt waren und Taxikosten entstanden sind. Wir freuen uns, dass die Rückerstattung sofort bearbeitet wurde, möchten uns aber dennoch aufrichtig für die Unannehmlichkeiten und die entgangene Erfahrung entschuldigen. Wir hoffen, Sie bei einem zukünftigen Besuch in New York erneut bei Royal City Tours begrüßen zu dürfen, damit wir Ihnen ein besseres Erlebnis bieten können. Beste Grüße, Royal City Tours

Bad.

Someone else and I were waiting 20 minutes before the required schedule to start the Tour, but no one showed up so it could not be done. I just hope you'll give me a refund of what I paid for something that wasn't done.

I wasn’t able to go on...

I wasn’t able to go on the tour I was looking forward to be driven. I got to the location and waited for almost ten minutes I called the number and spoke to a woman who called the driver Apparently, the driver had gotten into an accident and was waiting for the police to come, and they canceled the tour. I was a little upset because I had nothing else to do and everything was booked. I feel sorry for the driver. I hope he was OK. And they didn’t end up giving a refund

Operator response

We apologize for the inconvenience caused, and appreciate your understanding. The tour reservation was canceled with a full refund. We look forward to providing a fun experience in the future, thank you.
