No Show Tour

Jack_Z, May 2024
We booked this tour over 30 days in advance. On the day of our tour, our guide was a No Show and No Call or message. Although we got a full refund, it wasted 1/2 a day of our vacation and no alternate tour was offered.

Response from Host, May 2024

Hi Jack, Unfortunately, our host encountered unforeseen circumstances that prevented her from conducting the tour. As a result of this incident, the host has been deactivated from our platform. I understand that this situation disrupted your plans, and I'm glad we were able to rectify the situation directly. We are currently working on refining our protocols to handle unforeseen circumstances more effectively in the future. Warm regards, Ruslan and the City Unscripted Team.
