Cancelled ( with incorrect texts and emails saying it was confirmed)

1.00Tour was cancelled , then confirmed four times after cancellation. The cancellation was hidden in three other emails—and followed by four other emails, texts, and the ticket itself all confirming. I travel all the time, and I’ve never had such bad communication. We went on our own to the market, since we were already on our way. Do better!
