This was a fantastic tour. There is a lot to see and do in Nicaragua in one jam packed day. It is a VERY long day, with a VERY early start. The guide was friendly and helpful, as where the people at each of the activities. Bring some cash as many areas we visited did not accept cc

This is a great way to see Nicaragua. Our host, David, was splendid. The door to door tour is going to be a memory of a lifetime.

This tour is definitely a must do when visiting Costa Rica. Everyone from Native’s Way was so professional and great from the time I booked the excursion. Our drivers in both Costa Rica and Nicaragua were great. Our tour guide Claudio was amazing and very knowledgeable. Definitely worth it.

We decided last minute to add a trip to Nicaragua and regret nothing. Tour company was very responsive to any questions/ needs for the trip and tour guide was full of history to fill in some of the drive. It is a long drive but everything you see makes it worth it. You get to see a kaleidoscope of different things from volcanoes to carriage ride (extra cost) to a monkey jumping in our boat as we fed it.

We had a day full of adventure and culture. The process to cross over from Costa Rica to Nicaragua was pretty easy and was handled well by our guide. Osvaldo was an amazing driver and was very friendly. Claudio was our guide and he was full of knowledge, jokes and random facts. Overall a great experience. Thank you!

There were positive and negative things about this day trip. It’s a very long day and a lot of sitting in the bus and driving. There is a lot to see though, and the tour guide does a good job of not lingering in a place for too long ( although in some places like Granada I would’ve liked a little more time). The tour is very informational and we learned a lot about Nicaragua and it’s culture, so it’s good for getting a small taste of the country in a few hours. The food provided is also tasty, but I would bring a snack for the bus

scam tour operator tried to keep the $230 i paid after they waited until the following day of my booking to inform me of covid requirements when it should be in front page with check boxes of me acknowledging that i am aware of such requirements. thankfully came to the rescue and issued me full refund. tour operator messaged me: a refund is not possible. after i booked a few hours prior. BEWARE who you’re dealing with. customers should not have to drill in to the site to find hidden disclaimers. it should be big and bold

Great visit to Granada and the surrounding areas. The tour mode boarder crossing easy and hassle free. After seeing the line at the boarder, I was very happy that I chose this tour. The guide took care of everything and the meals were delicious Granada was informational and fun, but my favorite part was seeing the volcano.

What an amazing trip to Nicaragua. Our guide Claudio was so knowledgeable and had the best attitude. We saw an active volcano, a colonial town, and went on a lake ride where we were able to feed monkeys. I was originally a little nervous to go to Nicaragua but I felt very safe with the tour guide. Highly recommend!
