Never found guide. Texted and called several times.
Never found guide. Many guides in meetup area, just not ours. Arrived at 10:30 for 10:40 meetup and 11am entry. Never received tickets other than unusable barcode. Called and texted multiple times. No answer for contact number, no response to texts. Ticket window at castle couldn’t use barcode nor had they heard of the “vendor”. Eventually had to buy new tickets and call my credit card to dispute charge.
