Our tour guide David and our driver Chico did an amazing job. We toured several towns and landmarks in Nicaragua. The tour was very informative. I was highly impressed by the Nicaraguan hospitality and culture.

Happy to hear that for me as a owner it's a pleasure to know you had a great experience
Asked me to change dates, which I did, then cancelled the night before - at 7 pm when i reached out. No regard to whether I could book another trip. Am sure it’s part of the business but I wouldn’t count on him.

We called you with no answer also we can not go to Nicaragua with one person it cost to much money to go to another country.
My apologizies.
It was a little intimidating at first walking across the boarder but truly was worth it!
Amazing trip. I saw so many interesting things.

Thanks you so much for your review and we would love to have you back
It is a long day with a lot of travelling but well worth it. You visit the real Nicaragua rather than just the tourist spots . From volcanoes & viewpoints to lakes and old towns you see a lot in one day! Our guide Keke was brilliant
A great way to experience a country in a day, while seeing a lot and not feeling rushed! The Volcano in Masaya was by far my favorite, around sunset you get to experience the lava flow! Lastly, I recommend taking the tour closer to Liberia upon arrival, as it is closer to the Nicaraguan border.
It was just me and one other couple so the tour felt really personalized. My favorite part was definitely visiting Catrina and seeing the “water volcano” and getting so many good deals on souvenirs. Highly recommended getting the souvenirs there if you buy any. The views from the different places were amazing and I loved being able to try the cuisine from local restaurants. Our tour guide was amazing. It was truly an all day experience. You will leave early in the morning to get you to the border at a good time and come back late at night. Breakfast and lunch were included
It's an all day experience, I've been very very well and you know a different country the guides are extraordinary
