Booze cruise, el they work on tips
Jessica_L, April 2026
The tour is known to canceling your “excursions” if it’s not filling up to capacity it will refund your ticket or offer a cruise they have that is being booked. Have to take out two separate excursion. He didn’t purchase the excursion he thought for going on, but they did give us an option to cancel.
Response from the operator · Chica_Locca_Tours_MX Thank you for taking the time to share your experience — we truly appreciate your feedback.
I’d like to kindly clarify that cancellations are not due to a lack of guests. This is one of the most popular and highly recommended tours in the bay. In your case, the change was due to unexpected mechanical issues, which are completely outside of our control. For safety reasons, we had to make the difficult decision to cancel not just that departure, but multiple tours. We sincerely apologized at the time, explained everything clearly, and truly appreciate your understanding.
As you mentioned, whenever this happens, we always do our best to offer solutions — including alternative tours or upgrades at no additional cost, or a full and immediate refund if those options don’t work for you.
