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!!

Yesenia es muy agradable y da muy buenas recomendaciones locales interesantes... Incluso te recita una poesia!

Me encantó, sin duda repetiría. Yesenia es una guía muy profesional que explica las cosas con paciencia y amabilidad. Gracias!

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.

Yesenia was super sweet, helpful and knowledgeable. She gave us a great introduction to Leon!

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 😄

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.
