Guide ditched us - no refund - Tour says it starts at 10:00 from inside the Met, but the doors don’t open until 10 and there is no option to get there early. There is typically a line to get in and pass through security at the opening of the day, but we (family of 4) got in and were at the meeting spot by 10:04. Another guide from Attractions4Us found his group at the same spot we were waiting and said that we were in the right place and to be patient as he had seen our guide, Manny, around. We waited 20 more minutes and then called Attractions4Us and they said we weren’t where we were supposed to be, didn’t check-in and our tour guide Manny left without us. He took our tickets with him and there was no way for us to find him or get our tickets I asked for a reschedule, but they had no other openings on the day and they said it was our fault for not being on time and where we were supposed to meet for our guide. They offered no refund, not even partial. I think the company is a good tour company, but has a few bad practices and hires poor guides. I question their practice for tours to start from inside when there is no option to get there early. Also, I question their practice of allowing tour guides to not even check for members of their group before starting. If we would have been assigned to the other guide, we would have been found. The other guide had obviously come to find his group at the spot we were supposed to be at. I think Manny was just avoiding having a full group and took the easy out by not checking for the rest of his group. I’m sure he was paid the same regardless of ditching us. I wonder if skelped our tickets as well.
