Poor planning on the tour agency’s part - Purchased this tour well in advance only for it to be canceled the evening before. We decided to try and go to the theater on our own and found it was closed for the week. This is information the tour should’ve known in advance and given us more notice of the cancellation so that something else could’ve been scheduled.
