Looks like I'm not the only one to have this experience...
I was given a voucher as a birthday gift and booked on for a date in September as part of a holiday in London. We received notification two days prior that there weren't enough people in this booking to run the tour. I was told I could rebook by email and was (after chasing!) offered 3 alternative dates, one of which I chose (or so I thought...)
I hadn't had any kind of confirmation or joining instructions so on the morning of the tour I called to confirm that we had indeed been booked in as requested.
I believe it was the owner of the business who called me back to tell me that the tour had been cancelled and that since I hadn't received an email notification, I clearly wasn't booked on anyway.
Her manner on the phone was absolutely shocking, she told me she wasn't in customer service (clearly!) and that she wouldn't give me alternative dates because she wasn't going to guess at my availability! She seemed surprised that I wasn't eternally grateful for the fact that she'd called me back on a Saturday (the day the course was supposed to be happening). She then went on to tell me that she was the best photograph tutor in England (her customer service skills clearly don't match!)
I am asking for a refund as I absolutely do not want anything more to do with this woman's business.
