A very valuable experience and that I recommend 100%. While Nicaragua deserves to dedicate full days to it, it is a great way to take a taste of this incredible country in landscapes, architecture, history and its people.
Thank you for your trust. It is a pleasure for us to know that you enjoyed our service. Blessings always, and we are always at your service.
We had a great time in Nicaragua! The trip was very well planned and organized with no waiting time. The guides, Juan and Grethel did a superb job! Very knowledgeable and helpful! We visited Granada and took a horse carriage tour and enjoyed colonial city center and colorful houses, Lake Nicaragua boat tour with its hundreds of small islands with unique houses on each island and monkey islands. We also visited active volcano and finished our day enjoying a beautiful sunset at the mountain of the resort city of San Juan Del Sur with its breathtaking views! Nicaragua is really underrated as a tourist destination. It's a beautiful country with tons to see and explore!!!
Thank you very much for trusting us and choosing our tour. It was a pleasure having you with us. We truly appreciate your support and hope this experience becomes a great memory of your trip. Safe travels and thank you once again. God bless you always. Thank you once again.
Enjoy every minute of it, thank to Eduardo (big Papi) who helped us with this amazing experience. My wife and I with my best friend and his wife are discussing our return trip back to go and see more of that amazing views Costa Rica and Nicaragua has to offer. This experience was being if not one to remember. If in the future, it would be a place to retire.
Thank you very much for your recommendation. May God bless you always and we hope to see you soon.
The entire process was smoother than a Peanut Buttered Banana! Aron "Big Papi" was our initial contact and upon purchasing the trip, he was honest as they come and on top of things from start to finish. The day of the tour, we were greeted at the hotel lobby on time, like clockwork. Ricardo Leal, served as our driver and guide, and this guy was more incredible than watching a unicorn doing the moonwalk! Friendly, accommodating, and just an all-around fantastic human being! In fact, when we decide to go back (and trust me, we will), Ricardo is the only guy I'm going to ask for. I highly recommend these gentlemen and any tour they're associated with. Gracias, Gentlemen! I'm an agency owner who has toured the planet, and I can honestly say these guys are in the top 3, no doubt about it, 100% spicy salsa approved! 🌶️🌍 Do it!
Thank you very much for your comment from the Costa Rica xplores team. We wish you many blessings. Your comment helps us a lot so that other travelers can trust us. Thank you.
This was such a fun experience and I would recommend it to anyone! My party of 8 came to visit Costa Rica and left getting to experience Nicaragua too. Eduardo was the best excursion leader and did everything to make this an experience of a lifetime. He also took a ton of pictures and videos from start to finish and sends them all to you at the end of the trip. If you’re worried about a lot of walking, this trip is minimal in that department. The most walking you’ll do is crossing the board from Costa Rica to Nicaragua and going through customs. Otherwise, the shuttles take you exactly to were you need to be. Breakfast and lunch were included and provided the traditional cultural experience, both were delicious! They are also accommodating to any food sensitivities and allergens as well. The best part of the trip I’d say was the volcano visit with such a beautiful view of an active volcano from the top but everything was amazing from start to finish. Such an informative excursion if you’re into history and learning about other cultures and there’s something for everyone. The chocolate tour was fun and engaging, the men of the group really enjoyed the cigar tour. Can’t thank Eduardo enough for encouraging us to choose this excursion.
Thank you very much for your recommendations God bless you
What an amazing day trip to Nicaragua - A very well organised and packed fun filled day. We had a private bus which picked us up from our hotel very early to take us to boarders to cross over to Nicaragua which is where we met our 2 lovely tour guides . We had a lovely traditional breakfast and then went on to visit Rivas, a local market, volcano Masaya which is an active volcano, this was the most amazing experience then they prepared lunch for us at a traditional Nicaraguan restaurant which was absolutely delicious. We then visited a local chocolate factory to see the full end to end process of how chocolate is made before it ends up on the shop shelves. Following that we went on a horse ride around the town while they explained about the history of this beautiful country and to finish off we went on the most amazing boat ride where we visited monkey island and fed spider monkeys - this was by far my most favourite and fun filled excursion we have done and I would recommend this tour to anyone
thank you very much for your recommendation it makes us stronger and knowing that we are working well thank you God bless you
I had a great time. Never once did I feel unsafe as a solo traveler. It was a combination of exploring the geography, animals, history, culture, and seeing first hand what the country is like. I would highly recommend this tour as they take care of everything so you don’t have to. Make sure to bring some US dollars if buying rum, cigars, gifts interests you as that is their preference for currency.
thank you very much for your comment it makes us feel very motivated thank you God bless you
