We arrived at the meeting point 15 minutes in advance and nobody showed up to meet us. We contacted the tour operator then only to find out the tour had been cancelled. An email was sent at 8am on that morning advising of this but I didn’t see the email. Very disappointing that this was the only effort that was made to contact us. The tour operator also had my mobile number. Three weeks later and I still have not received my refund. Terrible customer service and would not recommend this operator. Please feel free to respond as to when I will get my refund.
We're truly sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating and disappointing this situation must have been. Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused by the tour cancellation and for the lack of communication beyond the email notification sent on the morning. We understand that we could have done more to ensure you were informed promptly and clearly. Regarding your refund, we have checked your booking and can confirm that the refund has already been processed. Your feedback is incredibly valuable to us and helps us identify areas where we can improve our communication and overall guest experience.

The tour gave details about the Latin quarter of Paris and some ideas of places we could visit in our free time. Notre dame might be the most well-known but the pantheon and Luxembourg Gardens are well worth a visit as well as st genevieve Church
Sophie was very nice and helpful, very interesting English tour! Peaceful walk ending at the gardens
Fanny is an excellent guide. We learned so much from her about French history, history of Latin Quarters and much more. Thank you
