One Day Tour in Nicaragua from Liberia - Our guide, Gaspar, was knowledgeable, patient, understanding, and thoughtful! He gave us time to shop, to eat and to look around and nap! Our driver, Eric, was a considerate and safe driver! Pick up at our hotel was on time and Marlene, who set up our trip, was there to greet us and kindly gave us all the information we needed and kindly gave us time to gather our things and use the restroom before we left! She was an awesome communicator! The tour was worth all that we paid and the four of us had such a great time and felt for only a day in Nicaragua, we had a peek inside their beautiful country. We loved everything from the active volcano, tour of Granada, the delicious breakfast and lunch in Granada, there were options for lunch, chicken, beef, burrito and hamburgers! We had three of them and they were all delicious! The boat ride on the lake was so very beautiful and Lucy the monkey came down from her tree to say hello! We cannot think of anything we disliked! My tip is Bring A Waterproof Light Jacket, because it can rain at any moment! We highly recommend this tour❣️

Pick this tour! - Uriel and Marlene were so great that I am coming back to write this review in December after a trip in July. The small group made the experience so much more enjoyable and the conditions worked out great to see the magma! I bought a cool hat on top of the volcano and both Uriel and Marlene were super knowledgeable and easy to talk to. We ran into Marlene later in the trip and it was like seeing an old friend. Highly recommend visiting Costa Rica/ Nicaragua and taking this tour!

Best day trip excursion! - Marlene and Uriel did an amazing job to make our trip a memorable one. Marlene was our safe and courteous driver on the Costa Rican side and she was very helpful getting through customs. Uriel was so knowledgeable about Nicaraguan history and pretty much made us fall in love with the country. The tour to the volcano and Granada were amazing. The breakfast and lunch were delicious! I definitely recommend this tour.

Can’t miss this trip!! Add it to your list - This experience was amazing! It exceeded my expectations on various levels. Uriel was an Amazing tour guide who gave us a glimpse of the beautiful country. I highly recommend carrying enough cash. If your currency is $USD, no need to stop by a currency exchange location. They actual prefer that over their own currency. We were in small group and we felt safe and welcomed in every aspect. If you love nature and site seeing this is definitely the place to be. We came during their tropical weather season and expected hurricanes and large amounts of rain but to our luck we were able to have a clear sky with amazing views. If you’ve been hesitant to book this trip, don’t. Worth every penny.

Not really private but amazing still - The tour itself is amazing. The people are amazing. My only complaint is I was expecting a private tour and found out the day of that there would be others joining us. Thankfully, it was an amazing couple but the tour should be advertised as semi-private. Also, of they gave me the option to buy all 4 seats to make it truly private, I would of done so. Im still glad I went. NICARAGUA is amazing!
