Free walking tour León, Nicaragua

A great blend of history, of the city and the country, and exploring culture through food and locations. Perfect presentation and timing. Alejandro made the interesting central blocks of Leon feel like a giant city. After the tour we got alot of helpful resources and personal recommendations that made the entire stay even more enjoyable. Bonus points for the UK slang

Had a private tour with Alejandro, 10/10 would recommend!

Excellent experience highly recommended

María was an excellent tour guide. She brought us to a lot of lovely locations and explained everything so well. María made the tour very interesting and involved us by creating a quiz at the end. She brought us to the market and bought us local cheeses. She also brought us to the top of the cathedral for sunset which was beautiful. María was very insightful and I would recommend everyone to book a tour with her.

One of the best walking I have ever been in. Alejandro was very professional, very knowledgeable and very interesting. We talked about history, culture and a bit politics, we got to taste and see traditional foods and drinks and got many recommendations for the rest of our stay in Leon. Highly recommended!

Alejandro was a really great guide. His explanation was really clear and he make sure that everyone could hear him and understand the story. He really want to give you the tour that you want to attend, so if you wanna talk about more a topic than an other, he’ll be glad to concentrate himself on this.

Great way to learn more about Nicaragua! Try local food and be in good company as a solo traveler! Cheers Alejandro!

We really enjoyed our tour of Leon, Alejandro was so knowledgeable of all things history, architecture and politics. He never rushed us, always answered our questions and even let us run over by an hour! He sent useful recommendations after the tour which we used. When seeing him around Leon afterwards he was more than happy to chat and give further advice, couldn’t recommend more.

Outstanding walking tour and a must do when in Leon. There was a perfect mix of history, culture and food - we never got bored even though the tour ended up being almost 3 hours long. Alejandro managed to explain Nicaragua's pretty complex history clearly and comprehensively - I've never left a walking tour feeling so informed about the country's history. More than anything, he was also just a very sound guy who was a pleasure to talk to. Thanks Alejandro!!

Alejandro was personable and knowledgeable. He did a great job

We had a great afternoon, full of nice spots, information and fun. Maria is a charming young women with a lot of knowledge about the country that she loves.

was oke

Alejandro was a great guide, we learnt a lot about the culture and history of Leon and Nicaragua. I really recommend to do the tour.

Really awesome guide. Highly knowledgeable and worked hard to tailor the tour for the group

Für mich persönlich war das anfangs zu viel Escape Game, anstatt Informationen zu liefern. Es könnte schneller gehen und mehr Infos liefern. Im ganzen war mir das zu wenig. Die Zeit hatte Sie nicht im Blick. Somit haben wir für 4 Dollar pro Person nur 5 Min auf dem Dach der Cathetrale de Leon verbracht. Viel zu teuer und zu kurz! Das hat uns sehr verärgert!!!! Achtet auf die Uhrzeit. Um 18 Uhr mussten wir runter gehen! Ansonsten war sie sehr nett, lustig, locker und aufgeschlossen.

Maria era perfecta! Aprendimos muchas cosas sobre león y Nicaragua. Tiene una súper pedagogía para que nos acordemos de la historia y las fechas ! Muchas gracias

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!
