A complete disaster

Joseph_M, May 2024
The most memorable part of this tour was not being able to access it, after trying frantically to do so, messaging "tour guide" through the link provided - twice, with no response, then telephoning the provided telephone number in France for Viator and being told by a Viator representative there that I should go to the "office" at the provided meeting spot. My wife and I spend two hours trying to find this "office" only to learn that it does no exist.

Response from Host, May 2024
