Free walking tour León, Nikaragua

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 😄

Excelente guía, muy preparado, tour diseñado con esmero. Altamente recomendable para conocer León.

Alejandro was an excellent guide - very knowledgeable, funny and open. The route was well planned out with the highlight being the food market. We were treated to local delicacy’s including drinks, snacks and fruit. I’d highly recommend booking this tour if you’re visiting Leon.

Super Stadt-Tour durch Leon mit Alejandro! Er hat die Geschichte Nicaraguas verständlich und sehr gut strukturiert erklärt, uns von der lokalen Kultur erzählt, charakteristisches Essen am Markt probieren lassen und uns viele Tipps gegeben! Sein Englisch ist unglaublich gut!

María did such a good tour 😍😍

Loved the tour and seeing the sunset from the cathedral was a cherry on top. The only thing I was slightly disappointed by was that we didn’t visit the market and try local food as said in the schedule although Maria gave us some recommendations on what and where to eat.

Thank you for a really enjoyable tour Maria, with great information about Leon and a stunning sunset on the roof of the basilica to finish!

Alejandro was a fab guide - he was super knowledgeable, friendly, and answered all our questions. He took us to lots of different places and was very engaging! It was great to see the city through his eyes.

Very good storyteller! Really nice he also told a lot about Nicaragua’s history. We also went to the market and tried some food! Would recommend!

Excellent to tour to see the city of Léon and learn about the really interesting history, people, culture, street art and food here. Antonio was an excellent guide, really informative and answers any questions you might have. He is punctual, was waiting for us at 8.50am at the meeting point, 10 minutes before the tour began. His English is really good and his knowledge of the local and national history is incredible. Gave us great food options also in the local market. We had a great tour, it went on until midday which was great, Antonio really gave us so much time. It was fascinating to hear all of the knowledge he had to share. Would highly recommend 10/10.

We just had a great and impressive tour led by Vladimir. We loved all his stories and his energy. He made Leon come to life for us. We found a new appreciation for Leon and Nicaragua, which we will take home with us. Thank you Vladimir for the amazing tour!

Alejandro knows a lot and did a great job. I can really recommend him.

Alejandro was a great mix of history and knowledge of his city. Learned a lot and understand the history so much more after the tour.

Wauw, taking this tour with Antonio has been on of our best experiences of Nicaragua so far. Antonio found a way to explain a difficult and detailed historic story in a very understandable, chronological and interesting way. He was so friendly, adapted his tour to our interests and his passion got us so excited! We understand so much more of the history, got to know some amazing stories, saw beautiful artwork en feel like we know so much more little hidden details in the city. I really recommend doing this tour with Antonio or one of the other guides. It was truly amazing! Thank you so much Antonio!

Hacer el free tour en León con la guía María fue una de las mejores experiencias de nuestro viaje a Nicaragua. Desde el primer momento, nos cautivó con su amabilidad, simpatía y una energía contagiosa que hizo que cada minuto del recorrido fuese ameno y enriquecedor. María no solo domina la historia y la cultura de León y de Nicaragua con gran conocimiento, sino que sabe transmitirlo de manera clara, entretenida y con un profundo orgullo de ser leonesa. Eso la convierte en una guía auténtica, que habla desde el corazón y hace que los visitantes conectemos aún más con la ciudad. Durante el recorrido, siempre buscó los espacios adecuados para darnos las explicaciones sin pasar calor, un detalle que demuestra su consideración y cuidado hacia los turistas. Además, nos dio excelentes recomendaciones gastronómicas y consejos prácticos para disfrutar al máximo la ciudad. Lo que más nos sorprendió es que María no se limitó a contarnos la historia; también se interesó por nosotros, nuestras culturas y nuestras experiencias, creando un diálogo cercano y enriquecedor. Esa interacción personal hizo que el tour no fuera una simple visita guiada, sino una verdadera experiencia de intercambio cultural. Gracias, María, por tu gentileza, tu calidez y tu pasión por León. Sin duda, recomendaremos tu tour a todos los que quieran descubrir esta hermosa ciudad de la mejor manera posible. Con cariño, Freddy, Berenice y Edu ❤️

Great tour with Lionel! Without a doubt one of the best City Tours we did, anywhere. Great combination of history, culture and gastronomy. Gave me a great insight about the country of Nicaragua and the city of Léon!

Alejandro was a wealth of knowledge and delivered it with humor. There was a nice mix of history, market samples and sites. I would definitely do this walk when in Leon.

Antonio was very informative and entertaining.

Fue un buen tour pero demasiado tiempo para visitar dos cosas en realidad. Quizás con más movimiento por la ciudad sería mejor. Además, demasiado centrado en la catedral y poco en la historia pasada y actual de Nicaragua.

One of the very best Free Tours ever, and I have done loads, really! Relaxed, authentic, super knowledgable, passionate and extremly helpful, even after the tour! I have never had a guide that is so relaxed with the time concept. We stayed chitchatting what felt like forever. Felt like being with a friend. Dear Alejandro, what a pleasure! Thank you so much! I hope to see you in Vienna to guide you through my town! (He also speaks perfect German by the way)

Maria was excellent, she covered all the main spots of Leon, unfortunately we missed the market because it was sunday. But other than that everything was perfect, her presentation was engaging and interesting and she was ready to answer all the questions we had. She also gave us good recommendations for spots and tips insight into local culture.

Maria ist ein sehr engagierter Guide mit unglaublich viel Detailwissen über die Geschichte Nicaraguas und die verschiedenen Orte in Leon. Ihr Englisch ist super. Es hat Spaß gemacht sich mit ihr zu unterhalten.

I was on my own, which was a really cool and unique experience. Yesenia knew so much about the history of Léon, which she tells in perfectably understandable English. I would definitely recommend doing the free walking tour.

Vladimir was amazing! He was welcoming and friendly. He gave us so much information that was from a local perspective and so much better than just reading it! He gave food and drink recommendations too! Would HIGHLY recommend!
