Guides did not turn up

I booked this identical tour with Get Your Guide and my guides did not turn up, so far no explanation. I cannot say much about the tour as it did not happen.

My husband and I went...

My husband and I went with David to multiple sites around Mexico City and learned about Santeria and Santa Muerte, which are two religions/faiths local to the area. We visited the Plaza de Tres Culturas, the Sonora Market, and a shrine to Santa Muerte in Tepito. I learned a lot! David, the trip leader, is originally from Venezuela and from a family that practices Santeria; he has many years of experience leading tours in Colombia before relocating to CDMX. I had little knowledge/background of either Santeria or Santa Muerte before the tour, and I learned a lot. It was easy to communicate with David before the tour over WhatsApp! I would not recommend going to Sonora Market or to Tepito without a guide. Be cautious in taking photos; there are no photos allowed in the animal market areas of Sonora Market.
