Free walking tour León, Nikaragua

Leo is a nice guy and tells the history of Nicaragua and Leon in a chronological order. Also, the walking route is good. Would really recommend him for a walking your in Leon!

Really nice tour where you learn a lot. The tourguide speaks English very well and has interesting stories to tell.

We had a great time with Alejandro and learned a lot about Nicaragua, Leon and it's history, culture and life. I very much appreciate sampling drinks and food at the local market, I discovered some new flavours, super cool. Highly recommend when you're in Leon.

Alejandro is super friendly and took time to talk to each of us between stops which made it feel more personal. He is very smart and has a wealth of information about Nicaragua and global affairs. There is not too much to see on the tour but the stops with information and the coffee at the end were really insightful. Alejandro also provides you with pdfs afterwards via WhatsApp with lots recommendations on food in Leon&Granada and books/documentaries on Nicaraguan history which we loved! 100% recommend

Great tour, a good pace between locations broken up by sit down stops where he ran through the history of the country and a stop in the market where we got to sample some local fruit, sweets and drinks.

María was an outstanding tour guide. As a professional tour guide myself, I truly appreciated her attention to detail and her genuine concern for our safety and comfort. Despite the rainy weather, she went above and beyond to ensure that we had an enjoyable and memorable experience. She was also exceptionally helpful in providing information about traveling to other cities. Having experienced several tours in Nicaragua, I can confidently say that María was the best guide I’ve had.

Leo was an amazing guide. Very knowledgeable, gave us dirt hand information about the revolution, today’s political state etc. Really interesting and I would recommend this for everyone!

We really enjoyed the tour. It was really interesting. Alejandro had a lot of knowledge about the history of Nicaragua and the rest of Central America. We would recommend this tour to anybody who wants to learn more about the city of León and the culture of Nicaragua.

Alejandro is extremely knowledgeable about all things past, present, and future of Nicaragua! He kept the tour light and engaging with the perfect amount of information and sight seeing. We cannot recommend his tour enough!

It was amazing!

The tour with Alejandro was packed full of information and really interesting. He tailored the tour so that it focused on my interest in history and he provided reading lists afterwards and recommended foods to try in Leon - highly recommend!

Incredible tour with Alejandro! Haven't taken one in almost 7 years but Alejandro seemed a great person from the first moment: entertaining, full of useful information, great itinerary mixing history and culture. If you have to choose to do only ONE thing in Leon, spend these couple of hours with Alejandro!

Alejandro was informative, entertaining and very friendly. We loved our tour with him and the exploration of the city. Alejandro also offered lots of useful tips about the city. Thanks Alejandro!

Alejandro gave a fantastic tour that combined history, culture and food, all specialized to our personal interests. One of the best walking tours we’ve been on. Highly recommend!!

Very interesting tour. The guide was super nice and knew a lot. He could answer all of our questions and we visited cool places.

Great tour despite the pouring rain. The guide was super enthousiastic and knew a tremendous amount about Leon and Nicaragua history.

The tour was detailed and full of history and facts about Nicaragua. The trip to the food market was a great addition which gave me the chance to taste some local dish’s and our Guide Anthony was fantastic, I’d fully recommend doing this walking tour.

Perfect tour, realy interesting !

Alejandro was an excellent guide providing great insight into the history of Leon. The group was small enabling us to get to know each member and our guide. The snacks we sampled on the way were amazing and things we had never tried or heard of before. We were given many recommendations on places to visit following on from the walk which was really helpful.

A Fantastic Walking Tour with Alejandro – Highly Recommend! I recently had the pleasure of joining a free walking tour of Leon guided by Alejandro, and it was one of the best experiences of my trip! Alejandro is not only incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s history, culture, and hidden gems, but he also brings an infectious passion and energy that keeps you engaged from start to finish. His storytelling is vivid and well-paced, mixing historical facts with fun anecdotes and local insights you wouldn’t get from a guidebook. What stood out the most was Alejandro’s ability to connect with everyone in the group—he made us feel welcome, answered all our questions with genuine enthusiasm, and even offered personal recommendations for food, sights, and local experiences after the tour. The tour was well-organized, covered a perfect balance of major landmarks and lesser-known spots, and never felt rushed or overly scripted. It was clear that Alejandro loves what he does, and that made the whole experience feel authentic and memorable. If you’re visiting the city of Leon in Nicaragua and want to learn about it in a fun, engaging, and meaningful way, do yourself a favour and join Alejandro’s walking tour. You won’t regret it!

Great tour with Alejandro! He provided a good mix of information from history, food and culture, and practical information such as local recommendations. He took us to the local market where we were able to try some of the food. Would definitely recommend this tour with Alejandro!

Maria is a young guide, fairly new to her trade with excellent communicational skills. She is entertaining and keeps the group involved throughout with a fun quiz at the tour completion. The tour should be longer, as it was advertised being 2 hours long when it was closer to 75 minutes. With the added time more sights could have been visited in this beautiful city.

I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting León. It was very informative and a great way to spend a morning getting to know the city.

Die Tour mit Alejandro war super. Er hat uns einen geschichtlichen Rundumblick über Nicaragua gegeben, uns die schönsten Orte der Stadt gezeigt und uns viele Tipps bzgl. Restaurants, aber auch unserer Weiterreise gegeben. Alejandro ist sehr sympatisch und spricht super Englisch. So macht eine Stadttour Spaß!

We loved this tour and were presently surprised when we were taken to the market to try out some different foods including lime and dragonfruit! Was great to get the food aspect of the tour as we probably wouldn't have tried some of the things we did had we gone to the market alone - the tour was well paced and the guide was super friendly and entertaining which made it even more enjoyable 😄
