This tour was a rollercoaster. Very thrilling for many reasons. The PCR test is a huge obstacle to going on this tour and I understand why but this company should communicate with their guests better because they WILL not be giving you your money back. The tour was robust, worth every penny paid. They took us around to alot of vendors and while it was fun I was overwhelmed by the expectation that I would tip at each and every stop.

It was a great tour-got to see the Easter Block-the volcano and its crater up close, cultural history of Granada and the grand Nicaragua lake. The tour guide David was excellent and passionate about his country's history.

Bring Extra Money for A NEW COVID TEST!!!!!
Bettye_B
, Jun 2021
The only thing Bad about this Tour was that we were not made aware that we had to have another COVID Test (Which was $150 for a PCR Test (on top of what we already paid)). Very Upset about that part.-- Since we could not get our money back, we had to hunt down a facility to get us a PCR test. The Trip was worth it. It was jammed packed with many stops and our tour guide "Claudio" was very knowledgeable. Another default that I forgot to mention was the bus/car/shuttle/Minivan (whatever you want to call it) did not have the A/C quality that we are accustom to in the USA. It was a miserable 9 hour ride with air blowing, but it was not Cold. I felt like I needed to pass out. It did not cool down until the sun went down. I recommend bringing portable Neck Fan (Trust me, you'll thank me later). Outside of that, it was a nice trip with beautiful sceneries. Just make sure you have the extra money for A NEW COVID Test.

Did not indicate that a Covid test was required. Then did not want to refund the money. At least give a credit for a future day or trip.

Wonderful Trip
Andrea_M
, Mar 2020
This was an awesome trip. It was a long day, but worth it. Shopping in Nicaragua was much cheaper than in Costa Rica. Our guide Claudio and the driver were great. We took a boat on Lake Nicaragua and saw the various islands, we feed the white face monkeys and the spider monkeys. We saw the active Masaya Volcano. The chocolate plantation was great. We did a lot of shopping there. Breakfast and lunch were included in the tour. We toured Granada by horse and carriage. Our group shared the carriage ride and split the price so it ended up being about $5 per person. We also visited a cigar plantation.
