    Dear Margaret, Thank you so much for your feedback, and we are very sorry that this trip was not fully enjoyable as you expected. We aim to provide the best services to all our clients, and as you can see from the other reviews on our company, some negative points from your experience are truly an exception. We are glad that you enjoyed the experiences and accommodations we selected for you, and that our guides were supportive and provided a good service. And we regret that not everything went perfectly during this trip. We believe there was some misunderstanding between us about meeting you on the first day, as you arrived the day earlier. We contacted you to confirm the pick-up arrangement and got the answer that there will be no need for this service. We do have our tour guide pick you up on your first day tour, and our agent(Ashley) has come to greet you in person in the evening. We also would like to apologize for the inconvenience caused by the seat selection situation. We help clients to select the seats upon their request, and it seems there was a misunderstanding on when to select them. But, after all, our team had supported you with it. We have noted this issue and will work on avoiding it in the future. We also understand it is frustrating when you cannot contact your travel agent due to technical problems with her phone. She tried her best in terms of communication with you. She had sent the travel notes before your arrival and had answered the messages you sent immediately after seeing them. We do promise a 24/7 hotline support guarantee, and for the emergency cases when the agent cannot be reached, we have 2 additional phone numbers noted in the voucher. We have already noted to Ashley to remember to remind the clients, that there are alternative contact details. We also would like to apologize for the inconvenience caused by the closed museum. We keep the daily departures for this tour, and one of the museums could be closed on the day it is planned to visit, but because the tour is private, we can easily arrange to visit it on another day, as we have done in your case. But thank you for pointing this issue out, it will help us to improve, and we will note in the itinerary the open days for the museum and mention the alternative arrangements for the museum visit on another day if it will be closed. We would like to thank you again for choosing to travel with us and giving your feedback, it will help us to grow and improve. We hope that overall you have enjoyed the trip and would keep good memories of our country. Realistic Asia Team
