I wish I had known more about the tickets before I purchased them. It wasn't until after I completed the transaction that I learned I couldn't get a refund. My daughter and I had one day in Boston to take a tour. Due to time constraints we couldn't make it to the ticket booth by 9:00 am and missed the window to get the tickets. I know the website states I can use the tickets before next March but why can't I just get a refund? I definitely won't be able to travel back to Boston by next March. I had a small window to visit as my father is fighting cancer. His future is uncertain and I just wish the website had provided clearer instructions and information. Now I am out $125. I would appreciate a refund in good faith.

I was not able to ride the hop on hop off bus. The package with the museum tour at 2:30-3:30 did not allow any time to ride the bus since it stopped service at 4:00PM. I contacted customer service but have not been offered a refund or any further communication.

Weather conditions were terrible so we were advised not to go up. The staff told us to ask for refund and advised us that 3rd party sellers are tricky to get refunds. I see you do not do refunds, therefore the 1 star. If there is a remedy this then great because we were excited to go up but unfortunately could not.

Our group had a blast, as we were taken back in time and became part of the American patriots. We learned a lot of history, and enjoyed the characters, the AI, and the throwing of the tea into the Haaabar!!!
