“The tour itself was wonderful. Very interesting and fun, and super cool to walk through the old prison. The booking experience, however, was not great. After booking, I got a "voucher" emailed to me. The voucher clearly stated, "This is not your entry ticket. Your ticket and link to the audio tour will be emailed to you 24 hours before the tour." Hmm, that's kind of cutting it close. Well, 24 hours before the tour, I had received nothing. 20 hours, nothing. 15 hours, nothing. 5 hours, nothing. I was waking up in the middle of the night to check my email. Finally, 2.5 hours before the tour, I called…”
