I was expecting a tourist bus from Ecoterra Expeditions but it appears I was the only person to sign up for this journey so I finished up being given a private tour by taxi with a guide, who I recall was named Alfredo who was most informative and pleasant company. This means the day was conducted at my own pace which was great. I must thank the company for this day as it could easily have been cancelled due to lack of customers.
As a female solo traveler I was a little nervous about visiting Nicaragua. I want to tell you don't believe any negative rumors. This country is so beautiful. Untouched nature, friendly people and just peaceful. This tour showed me the countries beauty, the volcanos, markets, lakes. The views are breathtaking.
Arrived on time friendly and efficient. Air conditioning in the car. Allows time for looking and shopping. Gives a good description and details about where you are traveling and what you are seeing.
Great tour, experienced tour guide and very friendly. Only thing missing was the lunch that was advertised with the booking, we didn't get it. Otherwise, enjoyed the tour
Fredder was an excellent guide! He answered all of our questions. As two women travelling together we felt very safe. He guided us throughout the 4 activities with much information about each. It was nice to see and explore cultural heritage around.
