Free walking tour León, Nikaragua

I did the Morning Tour with Alejandro and I was truly impressed. He guided us through the city with such expertise and enthusiasm, and he had a knowledgeable answer to every single question we asked. The tour went beyond just sightseeing—we really got to experience the city. Alejandro took us through the local market, explained the culture and traditions, and even let us try a variety of typical snacks, which made the experience even more authentic. He is not only extremely informative and competent, but also relaxed, approachable, and fun. I learned so much and had a great time. I can’t recommend this tour highly enough!

Great guide. Thank you.

Marlon gave us a lot of information about the history and culture of Nicaragua and León at the beginning of the tour, which made the rest of it feel grounded in context. We visited interesting sites and he helped us bargain for fruit at the market. Sunset on the cathedral roof was incredible!

Nice guru, real local!

Best tour I've been on in a long time. My friend and I both really appreciated the history overview, which was given in two parts and made it much less overwhelming (there's a LOT even as is). The places we visited were interesting as well and given the historical context, they made a lot more sense. Alejandro also provided practical information as well - where to visit, where to eat (I asked many questions about where locals eat vs the fancier places he provided). Generally speaking, good energy from the tour guide, and I asked a lot of questions which he happily answered. His English is also very good, so it was easy to ask my questions / clarifications and get them answered. My friend and I both thoroughly enjoyed the tour, thanks Alejandro!

Very nice guide. Lots of interesting facts about the city and Nicaragua, was not getting boring. Saw the most important highlights. Had enough time at the catedral.

Had a very educational morning. We were lucky to have a private tour. Marlon knows every cobblestone in León, has a lot to tell about its history, and gave great tips on places to eat and drink. I would recommend it to everyone!

Had an awesome walking tour with Alejandro in León. He showed us all the main landmarks, but the best part was how local it all felt. He took us through the market to try fruits and snacks I’d never even heard of and gave a ton of context on the city’s history and culture. Super easygoing, super knowledgeable, and really helped us see the place the way locals do. Highly recommend.

such a wonderful 3h spent with Alejandra, He saved no effort to answer all our questions and give us a real local feeling about life in San Salvador. I would highly recommend him :)

I really liked this tour! It was so interesting that I even didn’t notice how 3 hours left! Really can recommend this tour! I did only 3 tours so far and this one was the best!

Had a great experience with Marlon. He was extremely knowledgeable, had great insight into the history of the country and Leon and was deeply passionate about is country.

Super interesting tour, Marlon knows a lot about everything regarding Léon and Nicaragua in general. 5-star Tour.

Alejandro is the best! He is so kind and honest and he knows so much of the history of Nicaragua. Speeks very very good English. The tour was great! Nice tastings, nice route. He takes everywhere enough time to see and tast. Super!

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.

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!!

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.
