Customer service concerns

We had booked a carriage tour of Central Park for May 16 at 10am. But could not take the tour because I got sick. Have been trying to contact aviator for a refund, but got no response. I know this is a reputable company, but their lack of response to customers concerns is frustrating & extremely disappointing.
