Our travel agent did not show up at the designated location. We waited with another couple 30 minutes early as well. I tried to send a message and was told they were backed up and would respond in 38 hours. Finally got through with a phone call. I was told they were there and left with a group. So disappointed, they said it was all our fault and couldn’t help but we could rebook in 3 days.
