Disappointing, frustrating and unpleasant. Only two tour guides for our group of about 250 people, It was chaotic and disorganized. Chaperones had to figure everything out on their own, and multiple times we were forced to wait long periods of time in uncomfortable situations and outside in cold, rainy weather. There was an extreme lack of preparation,, planning, organization and extremely poor or no communication, Timing was not planned for travel to and from destinations within New York City, there was no guidance for use of public transportation, and multiple people were either late or missed out on activities that they were looking forward to.
