• 5Top-notch!

  This was such a delightful tour! A lot of things to see and do - time just flew! The tour guide Zohar demonstrated a lot of knowledge about the places we went through, was very engaging and communicated great both in English and in Spanish (I wanted to practice my Spanish a bit). Awesome boat ride (don't want to spoil, so just know it was wow!), visits to local business, historical places (obviously), great city views, Instagram-worth photos and the volcano! It was clear that the guide wanted to demonstrate the beauty of the places, for instance, when churches were closed for some time they seemed disappointed and tried to figure out how to handle the situation, they discovered changes in working hours, adjusted the tour and then gracefully returned back to the churches so guest (me) did not miss a thing! That was likely the best tour I had in Central America so far, do recommend to everyone! Bravo Zohar!

• 5Granada and volcano tour

  Zohar was a wonderful and super fun guide. She was incredibly knowledgeable about all aspects of our tour and even taught some great Spanish grammar along the way. :) Highly recommend this tour for those looking for a full day adventure out of Managua.

• 5My wonderful day at Granada and surroundings

  The tour was very enjoyable. The Masaya creater was awesome to see even though the red lava is no longer visible. The boat ride through the islands in the lake was a pleasure. We saw houses of a number of wealthy people, some monkeys and birds. It was very interesting to walk around the cathedral and central park at Granada. The view from the high point at Katerina was fantastic. Zohar, the tour guide, did a fantastic job of arranging the itinerary based on the weather. Kudos to her.

• 4More of a Driver than Tour Guide

  We had more of a driver than a tour guide. He efficiently got us around from place but offered little in the way of local information or background on what we visited. On the boat ride, the driver translated to English the narrative that the captain was providing. Based on the lack of contribution from the driver, I felt this tour was overpriced.

About Managua

Managua, capital of Nicaragua, lies on the south shore of Lake Managua, with crater lakes, a ruined cathedral and the Masaya volcano close by.

Managua spreads along the south shore of Lake Managua, below a line of volcanic hills, in the Pacific lowlands of Nicaragua. Earthquakes in 1931 and 1972 damaged the old centre, and the shell of the old cathedral still stands near the lakefront, beside the National Palace, which now houses a museum. The modern Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, topped with many small domes, stands nearby.

Top-ranked sights in Managua: Masaya Volcano, Tiscapa Lagoon Natural Reserve (Reserva Natural Laguna de Tiscapa), Old Cathedral of Managua (Antigua Catedral de Managua).
