Ruined a vacation day! I booked the tour and received confirmation for The Charleston Footprints Walking Tour for Saturday afternoon, April 8 at 2:30. I received a confirmation email on April 4th from Tripadvisor confirming the tour at 2:30 on the 8th. On April 5th, I received a text from Charleston Footprints Walking Tour which stated "Remember that we will meet on 2023-04-08 at 10:00." I responded to the text and stated "I am booked on the 2:30 tour." I didn't get a response so on April 7th, I went to the website and found their phone number (844) -433-9324 and left a message at 10:34 a.m. (the duration of the message was 55 seconds) indicating that I had received a text suggesting that the tour was at 10:00. I explained that we signed up for the 2;30 tour and requested someone call me to confirm. Also, on April 7th, I received another reminder from Tripadvisor that we were booked on a tour on April 8th at 2:30......We showed up at the specified meeting place at 2:15....no tour. I called the tour operator and told him that we were unable to locate the tour. His response, "What tour? There is no tour." I gave him the details that I described above...at first he said he had no record of me. Finally, after several minutes he said he found my information, but I was signed up for the 10:00 tour....and responded quasi yelling at me. I proceeded to text him a copy of the confirmation from Tripadvisor, my text questioning the 10:00 timeframe, proof that I called him using the number on the website to confirm -- he denied it was his number -- although after we hung up, we called him -- clearly his number. I told him that we would post a detailed review on social media of our dissatisfaction/disappointment of the overall experience. He responded that he would reply that we simply didn't show up for the tour. He was disrespectful, not truthful and rude. Further, his approach to his business lacked professionalism, organization and follow-through. Sadly, it was too late in the day to schedule another tour. It was my family's first visit to the area. We are history buffs and were excited for the tour. It was the ONE planned activity over the weekend... I do not recommend this company to anyone! There are too many other options.

We had a wonderful tour with Eric, who provided us with information about history, trees, plants, architecture, neighborhoods, statues, stories...you name it. He made it all interesting and fun. Great tour and highly recommended.
