Could have been a good one?

I was contacted the day of thru whats app from the tour operator who cancelled the tour due to the low number of people that signed up (I think it was just me and my wife). The issue (which I understand) is that they did not cancel it thru Viator and while it was a low cost, I was not refunded any amount as Viator was probably not aware of the cancellation outside of their booking. It is a pity, as we had done a legends tour in Ghent which was outstanding.
