Hi Karen, We’re truly sorry for the inconvenience and disappointment you faced due to the miscommunication about your tour and the resulting cancellation. We understand how frustrating this must have been, particularly when expectations for private transportation weren’t met, which isn’t a service we offer. Your feedback is invaluable, and we’re taking it seriously. We will review our communication, procedures, and policies with our reseller partners to ensure the presentation of our products is clearer and interactions smoother going forward. We’re fully committed to making improvements based on your input and hope you’ll consider giving us another chance to offer you a better experience. If you have more questions or need assistance, please feel free to contact our friendly customer service team. Best regards, Ruslan and the City Unscripted Team
