Disappointed and was scammed - I had a booked tour for a party of 4 on September 15, 2022 upon our Carnival Freedom ship arrival in Grand Turk, via Ulifestyle Collection. I received the following directions below to meet the Tour guide at Booth 3 at the cruise port 8:30 am. No one at Booth 3 heard of ANC Taxi and Tours , as that booth was only operated by Carnival Cruise specific tours. The Carnival Tour agent was nice enough to ask other private tour guides at the cruise port about the company, and they all confirmed that there is no ANC Taxi and Tours that existed. They emphasized that Grand Turk has a population of approx 5000 people and they all know each other. We called the contact number that I received on my Tour Voucher 649-244-0988 about 5 times from 8:30 am to 10 am, and there was no answer, other tour guides also called the number from their cell phones and they also received no answer. ANC Taxi and Tours is a scam and I want a full refund of my $223.00 US dollars that I paid. NOTE: I entered all the details of my reservation below, so if this company truly exist, then they should care about refunding my money and giving a public explanation for their non-response and lack of visibility to other tour guide companies.
