No guide showed up at meeting point — wasted evening in Paris

I booked this Eiffel Tower tour for 20 th June 2026. I arrived at the meeting point on time, but no guide or representative was there. I sent messages through the contact provided and got no response during the wait. After the stated check-in deadline passed, I was told I had missed the tour and would not be refunded. There was no call, no message, and no one at the location the entire time. If you book this tour, arrive very early and get the guide’s direct phone number in advance, not just a chat link. I would not book this again.
