No communication - On the one hand the tour and guide were great. The company Top Dog Tours is awful. I had a mix up with the tickets and my Go City passes. I confirmed with the tour guide that I wouldn't be charged, that it would just use my go City passes. He confirmed this with his company. When I got home and saw that I had been charged I contacted Top Dog Tours several times. The one time I spoke with someone they said they couldn't help me after the fact. I have requested calls and/or emails back from a supervisor to see what could be done. No one is returning my messages. $75 was the difference between my Go City passes actually being worth the cost verses just buying everything separately. I'm very disappointed in Top Dog Tours.
