Serious question, has anyone else's local guide contact just ghosted them before a trip?

I booked a guy in Lisbon for a food tour next month, paid a deposit through his site. He was super responsive for weeks, then radio silence for the past ten days. I sent two follow up emails and a message on WhatsApp, nothing. I'm scrambling now to find someone else because I don't want to show up with no plan. It's a real gut punch when you think you've got a solid local lined up. Has this happened to anyone, and what did you do to find a backup?

Ten days of silence after paying a deposit is so unprofessional!

Ugh, classic. Guess your deposit bought him a nice dinner instead. Time to hit up those last minute tour apps.
