DO NOT GET SWINDLED! SAVE YOUR MONEY!

They canceled our tour and did not refund my money. I sent letters to Trip Advisor and to Imagine Experiences . I called Imagine Experiences during their business hours and several other times and only got a voice mail. I left several messages and never heard from anyone. Judging by the multiple messages I got from Trip Advisor, they do not have a very good system nor good communications, which means poor customer service. I have sent 4 emails to Trip Advisor and 6 to Imagine Experiences all before the 24 cancellation period. They canceled on me! Because of the coronation. They sent me an email and told me they would refund my money but no money has been refunded and it has been over 4 weeks. Worst Customer Service! And Trip Advisor is no better, asking me to review a tour that they know was canceled. I feel swindled by Trip Advisor and the company they advertised as Imagine Experiences. Save your money, do not order any tours through Trip Advisor, they do nothing to help you.

Operator response

We understand your frustration and apologize for any inconvenience caused. It's true that our tours typically require a minimum of two participants to proceed, and we strive to provide unforgettable experiences for our customers. However, there are instances, such as the recent situation with Transport for London advisories and external events beyond our control, where we must prioritize safety. In recent months, we've faced challenges due to increased protest activity in areas where our experiences take place. These protests, often related to global conflicts or domestic issues, have occasionally led to street closures and disruptions in the vicinity of our tour routes. While we make every effort to operate our tours as scheduled, there are instances where local authorities, such as Transport for London, advise against conducting tours in areas affected by protests due to safety concerns. Our primary concern is always the well-being of our team and customers, and we must adhere to these advisories to ensure their safety. We sincerely regret any miscommunication or inconvenience you experienced. We value your feedback and will continue to improve our processes to ensure better service in the future. Additionally, it's important to clarify that it's not within our power to operate experiences in unsafe conditions or locations as advised by local authorities. We regret to inform you that the cancellation of your tour was due to a protest in the vicinity of the tour route. While we endeavor to provide our experiences as scheduled, instances such as protests can lead to safety concerns that prevent us from conducting tours in affected areas. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Furthermore, regarding your review, we kindly remind you that it's not possible to review an experience that was never taken. We value honest feedback from our customers, but it's essential to base reviews on actual experiences to ensure fairness and accuracy. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding in this matter.
