The tour did take place approx 45 minutes later than scheduled. Reportedly the original guide was unable so a substitute was summoned. Nothing you can do about that but it would have been beneficial to have been notified of the modified start. In addition, the meeting point could be clarified as “in front of Paris Tours” as the business is right there.
