This was a great tour that show cased local foods that we had never heard of or tried. So many interesting flavours. Even our children experimented. Vladimir was a friendly guide who also shared insights into the history and culture of Leon as well.

I highly recommend this food tour in León! The experience is equally about what you learn as what you eat. Oscar is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and inspiring, making the intimidating market feel welcoming and exciting. You’ll discover Nicaraguan culture and traditions while tasting a variety of delicious fruits, drinks, and meals. This tour is perfect for your first day in Nicaragua—it’s the ideal way to immerse yourself in the local food scene and kick off your trip with an open mind to their amazing cuisine. A must-do!

We had a brilliant time with Oscar, a fantastic local guide that spoke brilliant English. Oscar WA sable to guide us through typical Nicuagaran food that started with fruit and wound it's way through sour, mains, drinks and candy. He was able to give us a detailed background of ingredients and ways that the foods were used, where to find them and what typical local prices would be to help us navigate the rest of our trip. All whilst pointing out the history of the city and cultural practices. We couldn't be happier with our experience!
Food tour is awesome.

Oscar, the guide was awesome. He was knowledgeable and passionate about his people's food. Oscar explained details about the food and the significance of them to the Nicaraguan people. He even took us on a side quest to purchase coffee. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Leon.
