Thank you Matos! Great customer service
HUGE Shout Out to Matos our guide. We had a 5-hour flight delay and it crunched our time for the tour before dinner. He worked with us, waiting for us to arrive, and then zipped us around town to get us oriented. He even got us into the Chapel of Bones as they were closing, calling them to ask if they'd stay open for a few extra minutes. He was the absolute best and helped turn a bad situation around. He dropped us off at our restaurant and we thanked him profusely!
