Revdex.com: I have reviewed the response submitted by the business and have determined that the response does not satisfy or resolve my issues and/or concerns in reference to complaint # [redacted] Please add your rejection comments below I was told by your representative and it is also in the paper work that was emailed and mailed to me that the additional insurance was for personal issues should they arise and that the cancellation with replacement of days or more prior to departure would result in a Full refund less the non-refundable $Enrollment Fee*If your companies cancel with replacement option is in fact a LIE and the insurance I paid for is WORTHLESS then your company should refund me the cost of the insurance I purchased for myself and for my daughterIf your not willing to at least do that then you are saying that EF tours is not willing to honor its insurance policy and does not wish to resolve this issue with me? If that is the case, your company used advertisement to get me to purchase useless insurance and ripped me offNot to mention the fact that it does not value all of its customers or their experienceI am a teacher and a tour director so I know that students travel all over the world all the timeHowever, this would have been my daughter's first time going abroad and she was afraid of traveling to a city where a terrorist attack had literally just happenedFrance had just declared war on Isis and the US State Dept had issued an alert and all of this freaked her outShe has anxiety and became extremely anxious and fearfulShe did not want to go and I was not going to force her! Just because the other participants still wanted to go does not mean that everyone should have been required to travel under those circumstancesBy requiring her to go or forfeit her money regardless of the insurance policy your company said would allow us to cancel suggests that your companies neither values its customers nor honors its agreements.Please let me know if you wish to honor your refund policy or refund the insurance that was falsely advertised to me Regards, [redacted]
