Excursion cancelled and unannounced. I find out by calling the same day when I see no one picking me up at the meeting point. Worst impossible
Estimado David, Lamentamos sinceramente la situación ocurrida con su excursión. Entendemos perfectamente la molestia que esto le ocasionó y le ofrecemos nuestras más profundas disculpas por no haber recibido la notificación correspondiente y, sobre todo, por no haber podido brindarle el tour reservado. La cancelación de su reserva se generó en nuestro sistema al no contar ya con espacio disponible; sin embargo, en la plataforma de Viator quedó registrada como “pendiente de revisión”, lo que impidió que el proceso se completara y que usted recibiera el aviso automático. Somos conscientes de que este error provocó que se presentara al punto de encuentro sin información previa, lo cual lamentamos profundamente. Como muestra de nuestras disculpas, queremos ofrecerle un tour de cortesía a Antigua Guatemala, sujeto a disponibilidad al momento de que realice su reserva a través de info@clarktours.com.gt. Esta cortesía tendrá una validez de seis meses a partir de hoy, es de carácter personal e intransferible, por lo que no podrá ser cedida a otra persona.
