Horrible

My husband and I purchased our tickets at the hotel tour experience desk at the Hilton Riverside NewOrleans hotel, the ticket agent was inexperienced and sold us the wrong tour, we got on the hop on hop off bus at stop 18 and found this out. Nicole was one of the tour guides on the bus, she harassed us and made the experience uncomfortable, there was another young lady on the bus, whom name I did not get. She was very nice and straightened our ticket situation out at another Stop. Nicole got on and off the bus at different stops and said sly remarks to us and basically HARRASSED US. this woman should be reprimanded or TERMINATED. This occurred 8/29/26 around 10 a.m. - 12 noon What a horrible experience.
