2.00We were scheduled on a Sunday evening tour . The weather outlook was 100% chance of rain and they booked us anyway. The crew was wonderful. However , after 20 minutes or so it began to rain. Then it poured , we all got soaked. The tour ended after about a half hour. We were told the tour company “ would make it right” . Since we were leaving Florida the next day we could not rebook. When we spoke to the tour company they happily agreed to refund the fee. However we were not told it was for half of the cost only. We expected a full refund. The tour may have been great, we just could not decide given the circumstances.
Wonderful!!!
