way. >> when they finally arrived to saint mark's square, that was even more confusing. dozens of archways lead into this long block of buildings. which one was the tourist office? >> looking at the signs, they are in italian >> by the time they found the meeting point, the tour was no where in sight. >> it was gone. they left without us. >> she later demanded a refund of the $187 she paid for the tour, saying poor instructions caused them to miss an important part of their last trip to venice. >> i would not go back, most likely, so that will be something that i will miss forever. that that is the sad part of it. >> the tour company, port promotions.com of texas offered only 25% so lucia contacted 7 on your side and we checked on the directions. turns out the people mover terminal is up here about a mile and a half away from saint mark's square.

it's a winding route not mentioned in the instructions. the company acknowledged it's a 30 minute walk to the square. however, the company tells 7 on your side it was the couple's fault for missing the tour. it said we are perplexed as to why this guest was unable to reach the meeting point as all other guests reached the tour guide on this date for this tour and were on time. saint mark's square is a major tourist attraction and very well-marked. we don't feel a refund was warranted. however, as a gesture of good will to ms. tran, we have refunded her as she requested. >> yes, i'm glad. yeah, i'm glad that i called 7 on your side. >> the lesson here is be ready with maps and guide books when you travel, even if you booked a tour. i'm michael finney, 7 on your side. this morning at 111:00
