My tour was cancelled. ...

My tour was cancelled. The reason given was that there were “operational changes” and could I reschedule for the following day. I was notified of the cancellation just one hour before it was to commence and was well on my way to the starting point. Btw, my tour was Buckingham Palace, Changing of the Guard and a Thames cruise to the Tower. My issue is, that while there may have been ‘operational changes’, the fact is, that there was no changing of the guard scheduled for the day of our tour. We were booked for a Saturday and the event only happens on Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. To me this is deceitful advertising, selling a product that was not going to happen on that day. Poor sales technique from a well known booking agent

Meeting point needs to be clearer.

Not very accurate on who or where you’re meeting and I missed my tour. There’s a atleast ten other groups meeting in the same area I would be early if you want to find the right one.

Not so happy

Directions to where to meet were not very detailed. Guide left. Meet time was 10 a.m., the event started at 10a.m. We had a choice of seeing the event or finding the guide. Poor communication. I would think guide would have txt or emailed me .
