Our tour was cancelled due to low numbers. That I am not upset about. I was left a message at 9:00 pm at night and was asked if I would like a certificate for another tour or a refund. I tried to call the number that called me Monday, Tues, and Wednesday leaving messages never got a return call. Finally after calling on Thursday I got a call back from Arlene. When I told her why I had tried to call as I was requesting a refund she got snarky with me. She also told me that she sent an email. The only email I have received was from the booking company asking how my experience was. I would NOT recommend this tour as I think they are running a shady operation. Also, even if you are trying to speak Arlene will talk over you and use a condensing tone its not worth my brain cells to listen to. Wish I knew what was said in this imaginary email.
Response from Host , Aug 2020
Lynn, we have apologized several times and will do so again for being unable to accommodate your party on our tour. Unfortunately tours do need a minimum to run, as it is explained in the confirmations when booking.
We do apologize for advising you of the cancellation, however we want to allow as much possible time for bookings, so many cancellations are notified the night before. It really is the only way we can accommodate appropriate notification as well as allowance for tours to book.
There is no “shady operation” going on here. As we have also mentioned on the phone with you, that we are a small family team, and that we understand you were upset for not having a response in time; We had responded within three business days; unfortunately with our small staff and attention to each customer, it may take us to five or seven business days for a response. We have considered that a timely manner however completely understand that it was not considered timely for you.
You may check your spam as often our business emails land there, but we assure our customers that we make every attempt for clear communication, safety and enjoyment on our tours.
We have apologized profusely on the phone and continue so Lynn, however, shall you consider booking with us again- We would happily show you the experience that all so many of our customers rave about.

Coming to Kansas City from Calgary,Alberta,Canada was a great Christmas Gift to my Adult boys. We greatly enjoyed our trip and the BBQ tour is something we’ll never forget. The driver Barry was outstanding and Arline our tour guide was extremely funny and was very knowledgeable of the City. Thank you!!!!
