Free walking tour León, Nikaragua

The tour was great, we visited a few of the key spots of Leon and Maria was full of information and had answers for all our questions. She kept the tour entertaining and gave us additional information and suggestions for places to visit and food/ restaurants to try. Maria helped us to remember facts about nicuagua by giving us quizzes and asking us questions. Was overall a great experience and a good way to spend the afternoon exploring the city.

We had such a great tour with Alejandro! The tour lasted slightly longer than 2.5h but it was just the sweet spot for us. We started at the Basilica, had a break at Hotel El Convento and finished at Cancha 23 de Julio. It shows that Alejandro puts a lot of effort and preparation into his tours and he was very knowledgeable about the country, the city, the surroundings, the geography and socio political topics. We had great conversations and an overall splendid experience. Highly recommended.

We enjoyed the tour enjoyed the street art and learned a little about the history of Nicaragua.

Extremely informative! Also fun to walk around and try new foods and meet new friends. Leo is a great guide!!

Merci Maria pour toutes ces précieuses informations et pour la bonne énergie pendant le tour, qui même sous la pluie, a été un très bon moment. Je recommande !

Excellent tourguide, really friendly and knowledgeable about the history of Leon and Nicaragua as a whole.

I travel a lot (Nicaragua is the 86th country I visited) and I have done over 50 free walking tours all over the world but Alejandro was one of the best guides I have ever met. His English was native fluent with minimal accent, easy to understand. He was very knowledgeable (not only local knowledge, he had a good global insight) , the information he provided was precise and unbiased, which in my opinion is the most important for a walking tour guide. (I just did a walking tour in San Salvador and he described his president as a super hero without any flaws, I found it misleading and inappropriate). He had great attitude (cheerful, curious- he asked me a lot of questions about Hong Kong as he knew HK is my home country). I like it how he planned his tour-- starting with some relatively boring history, in the middle of the tour, we went to a local market for some sampling, and every snack/ food/ drink he showed us was tasty, the duration of the tour was also perfect, we got a bathroom break at a nice hotel in our second last stop. He even sent us a list of book and documentary recommendations, on top of the standard food and nightlife recommendations which I commonly receive after a walking tour. alejandro, thank you so much for your tour, I have learnt a lot from you. You are probably the best if not the second best walking tour guide in Leon.

Very knowledgeable guide with lots of detailed information about history of Leon and nicaragua! Good job Leo

Great tour thank you Maria!

This is a fantastic tour. Alejandro's knowledge of Leon and almost any other topic is extensive and presented in both and interesting and friendly way. Definitely recommend it.

Great tour Maria!

I’ve done a lot of Guruwalks tours in many different places and I am generally quite happy with the quality of the tours, but Alejandro’s tour in León is definitely up there on my top 5. He is super passionate about the León and Nicaraguan history, his level of English is exceptional and his style was educative and entertaining at the same time. I loved how he always made references to historic events or figures from the countries of the participants to help us relate to what he was explaining about Nicaragua. León/ Nicaragua has an intense history, so lots of food for thought, so best to explore the city with a guide like Alejandro. After the tour he also provided us with written information on restaurants and worthwhile documentaries.

We did a tour with Leo and it was great! He knows a lot about the history and politics which are very complicated for the city and country, but he explained it and we can understand it much better now. He showed a lot of nice places, we tried food and he gave many recommendations of activities and places to visit. Would recommend this tour!

The tour guide was very enthusiastic and he knew a lot about the history, city and people. In addition, his English was very good!

Maria is a very nice person, smiley and organized. She transmits all her knowledge to us with passion, it was a pleasure to be here!

Alejandro was like a breath of fresh air. So informative, so kind and I learned so much. He gave us so many great recommendations for food and things to do. I would recommend him 110% to anyone!

Zeker een aanrader als je in León bent. De gids vertelde ons over de geschiedenis van Nicaragua en de politieke toestand. Heel interessant.

Thanks Alejandro, we loved your tour and it was the perfect way to start our time in Leon… now we have lots of places to visit based on your recommendations! You presented information in a really honest, interesting and engaging way. We particularly enjoyed visiting the local market and sampling some food, and learning about the rivalry between Leon and Granada.

Maria is a passionate and proud Nicaraguan! Provided all 3 of us with history, architecture details, country’s background and by follow-up questions made us remember the dates and details very well. thanks a lot, that was fun, and afterwards all the guests formed a group to hike a volcano ( thanks a lot for the tips!!!)

Loved it!! Alejandro was smart, funny and interesting (:
