Hello! We are The Cooltour, a small local tour project built on passion, friendship, and authentic experiences.
What started as Marlon and Mauri sharing León with visitors has now grown into a team of three, united by one goal: showing our city in a way that feels real, personal, and memorable.
I’m Marlon, a nationally certified tour guide, renewable energy engineer, and English teacher with over eight years of experience. Born and raised here, I love sharing the history and culture of our country from a true local’s point of view. For me, guiding is about more than facts, it’s about connection, conversation, and creating moments where visitors feel at home.
Mauri is a Law student originally from León, the city where he grew up and considers his home. His legal education provides an analytical and contextual perspective on history and culture. He believes that traveling is about understanding the world and connecting with people. He aims to offer an authentic and dynamic experience.
Joel, a marketing student with a deep love for art, cinema, and music, adds a creative lens to every experience. He believes exploring a city should feel like discovering it with a friend, noticing the artistic details, the rhythm of the streets, and the atmosphere that makes León unforgettable.
The Cooltour is more than just tours. It’s also a space where students can gain real-world experience while continuing their studies. With professional training and supervision, we make sure every tour remains high-quality, authentic, and engaging.
We are not a big company.
We are three locals who believe in:
• Warm, human connections
• Honest storytelling
• Showing the city beyond the obvious
• Supporting young talent
• Creating experiences that feel natural not scripted
When you book with The Cooltour, you’re not just booking a guide.
You’re supporting a small, student-driven project built with heart.
We look forward to exploring León with you.
Marlon was kind, informative, passionate and professional! He is a local that really knows the history and politics of Leon/Nicaragua. He made the tour interesting and entertaining! I missed the first part of the tour so he stayed after to show me the parts that I missed. He also had great recommendations.
It was a nice tour to the highlights of the city and with some history background of the city
We had a really nice moment with Joel! We talk about history and legends while walking through the streets of León. We have been in charming places, fresh and quiet. Joel was kind and gives us good advices to enjoy this beautiful city. We highly recommand!
