The tour guide, Eliot, really knows the best spots to see. He was very responsive to my interests, very knowledgeable, and pleasant. I enjoyed seeing the city attractions and his explanations were very interesting. Also, he took me to a supermarket where I was able to get some things I needed. He made great recommendations for food places.
Excellent city day tour with excellent guide Elias !

We arrived at Managua airport and Elias was great. He sent me messages before the trip and day of , to plan and after private pickup he started the tour. We went to the local markets first. It was great to see what local products are We bought some items and then went to the lookout point. Beautiful and saw all of Managua from one end to the the other. The lake was beautiful and we could see it all. Then we went to the Revolution Square and saw the nice grounds. Also saw the cathedral which looked amazing even after the earthquake. Elias narrated and explained history and significance of each site. We had the whole area ro ourselves. We loved the large wonderful metallic trees and the many monuments. The parks we were kept and lots of vibrant plants trees and flowers. Then Elias took us to a very good local restaurants where we had wonderful local Nicaraguan food. After quick lunch , We went to the Malecón , and passed many interesting areas. This waterfront had shops , play areas for kids, miniature models of the Revolutionary Square , Etc. what a great place to walk and stroll. Elias was very flexible and the Tour was tailored to whatever you want to do. You can see more of one place or less. Finally. , after 3.5 hrs , We had to leave. Elias gave us a private transfer himself and drove us to the city of Grenada. Great drive and safe driver . He helped with luggage and we finally had to say farewell. My wife and I highly recommend Elias as your personal tour guide and driver. And he can custom make any tour just for you. 🫵🏻 seven stars !!!! 😀😀💪🏻🩷
Excellent experience

Had a tour with Elias and I couldn’t be any better. He is a great guy, very knowledgeable and curious. He showed the best spots in Managua, listened to my needs, and in general we had a great time. The huge advantage is that the pick up is available from the airport and there is an air conditioner in the car (which is great because there were really hot outside). Thank you Elias for a great tour!

The guide explained the history and background of Nicaragua, including the buildings and sights, so it was very easy to understand. In a short time, I was able to visit many of the main tourist attractions in Managua, which was very efficient and great. The guide was very kind too.

Elias was so kind and accommodating. Our flight got it hours late and he picked us up at the airport and still took us on the tour even though it was like. He was kind and knowledgeable and we loved our time with him.
