5.00Guide Manuel is very friendly and knows a lot about the history of the country and the science of Masaya volcano. Very informative. We went to the museum, the El Comalito trail, and to the top of the volcano.
Amazing to see the volcano.

4.00Great trip but did not expect the strong small and choking gas. None of the tours mentioned it , but you need to be aware if you have chest problems such as asthma

5.00Email Subject TripAdvisor Review – Nica Travel and Tours There are experiences you book… and then there are experiences that stay with you forever. Bringing groups to Nicaragua is something I take very seriously, because my clients are not just clients — they are friends and extended family. From the moment we connected with Marlene and the team at Nica Travel and Tours, I knew we were in good hands. We booked the Masaya Volcano excursion, and it exceeded every expectation. Watching my group stand there in absolute awe, seeing the glowing crater and taking in something so powerful and raw — that is a moment I will never forget. Not a single person was disappointed. In fact, they were blown away. Huqscar and Manny were exceptional guides — knowledgeable, passionate, patient, and genuinely proud of their country. They didn’t just guide us; they educated us and made us feel connected to Nicaragua. Our driver navigated the traffic, hills, and unpredictability of the roads with such calm professionalism that we felt completely safe the entire time. What truly sets this company apart is the heart behind what they do. They care. They listen. They anticipate. They even suggested an incredible restaurant on the way back to the hotel (which, I have to admit, was better than the resort food!). It was the perfect ending to an already unforgettable day. I cannot wait to bring my next group back, and I would recommend Nica Travel and Tours without hesitation to my clients, friends, and family. To Marlene and the entire team — thank you. You made memories that will last a lifetime, and we will absolutely see you again.
A lovely tour with a very knowledgeable and friendly guide.

5.00We were picked up from our Airbnb and taken to Laguna de Apoyo. After a few hours we were picked up for our Masaya volcano tour. Both our driver and our guide Alberto were excellent. We first went to the museum where Alberto explained both the relevant history and geology, followed by a 20 minute uphill hike along a well trodden path to Mirador Fumarolas. The views and scenery are amazing, especially at sunset and sturdy shoes are recommended. Our hike back led us to a car parking area where we rejoined our minibus and waited for our ‘time slot’ to go to the crater Santiago, where we were allowed to stay for a set amount of time (cc 10/15mins) as set by the park. The view and whole experience was incredible! Overall the trip was well worth it made not just by what we saw, but on the enthusiasm and knowledge of Alberto. Thank you!!
This was such a great...

5.00This was such a great time! Manuel our tour guide was amazing, very knowledgeable, and was able to get us the best view in the Crater Santiago. Even with airport delays they worked with us and met us at a stop very close to the volcano. Highly recommend this company and Manuel, thank you!
Not much to see

4.00My guide was Alfredo, and the driver was Mario; they were both very nice. This is a private tour. We visited the museum at Masaya Crater Park first, and there's a bathroom if you need it. Then we took a short hike to the fumaroles lookout. It was a very uneven path going there, but a much smoother path walking back to the parking area. At the rim of the volcano there are three viewing platforms. It's a timed visit, so you aren't there for very long. There was a rock slide inside the crater so it is pretty difficult to see anything.
We had the best tour guide Huascar

5.00Huascar was our guide. He did an incredible job timing everything so perfectly to avoid crowds and we learned so much about Nicaragua, history, and just the day to day. He made us feel very welcomed and answered all of our questions!
Highly recommended
