Reviewed October 16, 2024
We registered for the self-guided walking tour of Hollywood. The codes in the email didn’t work. We had to hunt them down and find their offices- their own tech people couldn’t provide codes that worked. They refunded us but we were frustrated by the time we lost trying to sort it out.
