A very relaxing boat ride and city tour. Moses, our guide, provided answers to all our questions about Granada and gave a clear history about Guatemala. We were also very pleasantly surprised with the food sampling event to end the tour.

Excellent, well organized and convenient tour that covers all the main points of Granada besides the Volcano. The boatride is tranquil and informative and the perfect way to start the day. We drove to the rest of the activities which is so much better than walking in the hot Granada weather, and ended the day trying a sample platter of various Nicaraguan foods. This tour is perfect to maximize a short trip to Granada and we highly recommend it and Moises.

Had a great time with Maynor our guide. He spoke almost perfect English, as well as Spanish. The Isletas boat tour was so relaxing, and honestly so so beautiful. It's an absolute must while in Granda. Maynor was very knowledgable about the wild life and history of the volcano, islands etc.
The city tour came 2nd and we were taken from place to place via air-conditioned car. We did another tour in Leon and it was walking, nice....but very very hot outside. This was a nice surprise. Again Maynor knew so much history about Granada it really made our trip.
Finally, the chocolate museum was so much fun. He does go to several, we went to the bate bate chocolate factory. The owner was so energetic, hilarious and interactive. Samples are given, all delicious. It made it very hard to not buy everything in the store.
10/10 would recommend this tour!
Talk to your guides, get to know them, and tip these people what they deserve.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you for your enthusiastic review! We're thrilled to hear that Maynor's knowledge and fluency in English and Spanish enhanced your experience on our tours in Granada and the Isletas. It's wonderful that you enjoyed the relaxing boat tour, informative city tours, and the fun visit to the bate bate chocolate factory. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we appreciate your advice to future travelers to engage with their guides. We look forward to hosting you again soon for another memorable adventure. Thank you for choosing us!

This was an absolutely incredible tour! We saw almost everything in a single day! The boat tour of Las Isletas was very special and the city tour covered the entire town. The tour was so good we ended up booking another tour to go see the Messiah volcano later that night. Moises (our guide/host) was great at communication and helped us with several other things during our trip. 10/10 would recommend! 👍🏼🇳🇮😁
