Why yesenia is the best guide to have!

5.00I normally never write reviews, but this guide (Yesenia)truly deserves to be recognized. I absolutely loved my tour with her! I was traveling solo and joined the tour in English, and I learned so much about the city of León and Nicaragua — from its history and art to its food culture. What made the experience even more special was how she adapted the tour to my personal interests and made everything feel very genuine and engaging. I was also pleasantly surprised by her excellent English skills. She explained everything so clearly that I understood perfectly from beginning to end, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend taking the afternoon tour so you can end the experience watching a beautiful sunset from the rooftop of the cathedral. And if you feel like it afterward, you can finish the evening with the best cerveza alongside the best guide! Highly recommended.
The city of Revolution did not disappoint

5.00The tour was fantastic!! The town and the content were amazing but what really made the tour special was our tour guide Jessica! She was so knowledgeable and down to earth. I consider myself someone interested and passionate about history and Jessica not only fed that fire but shared her passion with us and it was contagious!! Great tour!
The best experience ever.
