    This was an amazing tour. It was 15 hours long so I anticipated it being a really long day. We got on the van and they took us to breakfast, got to stop at Lake Nicaragua where we did a boat tour, saw monkeys and plenty of local houses on little islands. Unfortunately is was cloudy and raining a little bit so we didn't enjoy that ride as much as if the weather had been better. Got to have a local lunch, did a horse drawn carriage ride in Granada, chocolate tour, cigar tour and then shopping and enjoying some views of the lake, and volcanos. Our tour guide was extremely helpful with guiding us through the border/customs and with his knowledge. We had a great time and I would highly recommend this trip.

    My wife and I were on a vacation in Playa Hermosa and booked a day trip to Nicaragua and it was beyond amazing. Marlene, our guide, picked us up from the hotel early in the morning, and we started our private tour with a long but beautiful ride to the border of Nicaragua. She helped us with the boarding process, which only took a few minutes. Right after, we stopped and had a delicious breakfast. What a great way to start the day! We then went to see a no longer active volcano which was filled with water! What an amazing sight! Did some local shopping and then went to see the Masaya volcano! This is an experience you don’t want to miss!

    Afterwards, we stopped in the city of Granada where we had a horse carriage ride, a chocolate making experience and then a magical boat ride to see some of the most amazing and beautiful monkeys. Then one final stop was a later lunch of our choice.

    Everything was awesome and Marlene made us feel like we were family. Thank you, Marlene for this amazing day, I would highly recommend that everyone should visit Nicaragua, this is an experience you don’t want to miss!

    I booked this tour to begin just a couple of hours after my arrival in Granada, and I don’t think I could have made a better choice. My tour guide, Fredder, picked me up in a van from my hotel and drove me our first destination, a very important cemetery on the west side of the town. From there we traveled east, stopping at each of the distinct and important landmarks along the way. Fredder was super knowledgeable about the history of Granada and Nicaragua. He also spoke wonderful English, so I was able to follow along and easily understand everything he was telling me. Along the way, he offered water and beer, ensuring my every need was catered to and that I was able to enjoy the experience to my liking. I’m not a fan of beer, so I only drank the water. But, I think offering both is a wonderful perk for this tour. After we climbed the bell tower at La Merced, we took a horse drawn carriage down to the shores of Lake Nicaragua, which was another wonderful way to see Granada. After that, he got back in the van and drove over to Central Park for the final part of the tour. I seriously can’t recommend this experience enough, as it was a truly amazing way to see and experience Granada. Another really amazing perk was that Fredder introduced me to people throughout the city that we crossed paths with including his English teacher, a famous poet in Granada, and a music teacher from Germany who has called Granada home for 30+ years. By the time the tour was done, I felt like I wasn’t just a tourist in the city but had became part of the fabric of Granada too.

    This is a fabulously fun and informative experience. You will learn the historical and cultural significance of chocolate in Latin America from the pre-Colombian time through the present. Following this journey, you will make a cacao drink just like the indigenous peoples did, make the variation on drink in the way that the Spanish colonizers did, and then make your own chocolate bars. This is a hands-on experience, so be prepared to wear an apron and get your hands a little dirty as you have tons of fun making chocolate!

    What an amazing activity! We kayaked through very calm waters and saw so many incredible colorful birds, and a few monkeys sleeping in the trees. Our guide Byron was very informative and pointed out all the birds and nature along the way. After the trip ended, we realized we had left behind one of our nice Hydro flask water bottles. Danny took the time to drop it off at our villa, which was incredibly nice of them can’t recommend this to our group enough!

    My wife and I completed 5 or 6 tours with Danny and his team while in Granada for a month. We were working remotely and Danny made it a breeze to plan weekend jaunts. Danny is super responsive and will help you plan custom itineraries easily. We really recommend!

    First time users of Tours by Locals(and to Nicaragua) and it was the best!! Gerald took us to the volcano (which was amazing), around the city (to beautiful and historical places), and to Grenada…but his knowledge and friendship was above and beyond our expectations! We had the best experience seeing how safe and magical and interesting Managua was. We couldn’t have navigated the city or seen so much, without Gerald. He even told us about other places to visit on our next trip to Nicaragua. Thank you sooo much Gerald!!

Januar our guide was so knowledgeable about the area and we had a wonderful day. Looking forward to coming back and booking another tour with them!

    During my stay in San Juan Del Sur (@Eden on the Chocolata) I wanted to tour Ometepe. Upon researching the tours I was thinking I didn't have many options as I was traveling alone as well as departing from a different location from the standard packages. I contacted Next Adventure Nicaragua on the off chance they could figure something out, and as I was wanting it basically the next day I wasn't very hopeful. I got a response within an hour that addressed not only my solo travel status but the fact I wanted to leave from a different location and in basically less than 12 hours. A tour with every single stop, transport, entry and exit fee taken care of was created for me in that short time I was utterly delighted!
    My guide, Carlos Alvarez arrived early the next morning in our transportation to the ferry. From that point on everything was 100% taken care of. It can be overwhelming and confusing especially if you do not speak Spanish anytime you have to enter any mode of transportation, facility, beach, business- it was all taken care of. When we reached the island ferry port, our transportation for the day awaited our arrival.
    The land and the scenery are majestic there really is no way a picture can convey that sort of visceral beauty. My guide Carlos Alvarez's knowledge about the history, wildlife, natural wonders and culture was vast. As we went through the wildlife reserve he and our driver Jorge had so much knowledge about every tree, plant, animal.....it was so educational and impressive. Jorge had eagle eyes and repeatedly basically had to labor to point tiny things out that I 100% would have never noticed..... a snake that looks exactly like a branch..... A tiny underground trail of insects.... it was awesome. They both also had a lot of knowledge about the uses and origins of tons of everthing in the reserve.
    The museum was so interesting. So many ancient items with priceless historical value. A young lady named Meylin guided me through the collection and had so much knowledge about every single piece.
    My experience and the service I received from Next Adventure Nicaragua as well as the knowledge Carlos, Jorge, and Meylin shared was impeccable. I couldn't have asked for a more comprehensive experience with every single step taken care of.
    Next Adventure Nicaragua gets a million stars out of a million from me!

    I went on a halfday tour to the nearby volcano Mombacho. Everything was perfect, starting from the initial communication, to transport and the guiding itself. Leonel is a very knowleadgable, enthusiastic and communicative guide. His english is excellent and even though I didn’t see many animals that day, he gave me lots of insights about the surroundings and history. The view was fantastic, the diversity of the cloud forest was just beautiful. I would definitely book a tour with Leonel an his team again!

    I spent 3-4 days with Gustavo Guevara, a National Tour Guide for Nicaragua. He was INCREDIBLE!!! Extremely knowledgeable about Granada, Managua, Lake Nicaragua, Masaya & Mombacho, Nicaraguan history, and more! He speaks excellent English and held my hand thru many steps of my trip. He communicates VERY well on WhatsApp. I recommend using him whenever you come to Nicaragua. I wish I could give him 6 stars!

    We made the hike on the Mistic Hanging Bridges Tour. We booked on the Viator website a daytour with the Arenal 1968 hike before lunch and the Hanging Bridges hike in the afternoon. This tour was done with Ecoterra, and our guide Francisco.
    We were very happy about this decision and Francisco showed us e.g. a Mossy Mantis, a baby tarantula, a tiny blue jeans frog, a poisonous yellow snake on a leave below a Hanging Bridge,
    a pair of tucans and together we spotted some other creatures. He was equipped with a professional camera and because of this he could take pictures even when dawn was coming up.
    Finally he transferred his pictures on our cell phones and my wife and me were dropped off at our hotel. Pls make sure that all your important issues for a daytour will be covered by the agency and their tour operator.
    All in all, we very very glad about our booking and we highly recommend the agency, the tour operator the their tour guide Francisco !
