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.

Tour description

Please bring $3 or 100 cordobas to get the tasting at the market. Step into the real León, a city where history isn't just found in books, but is vibrantly written on every wall and corner. Join me on this journey to explore our grand colonial buildings and hidden architectural gems that have stood the test of time. We will walk across the iconic white rooftop of the world-famous Cathedral to witness the best views of our volcanic chain, and together, we will decode the deep political and social stories behind our famous artistic murals. This is a chance to dive into the legends of our folklore and feel the pulse of a town built on a unique blend of poetry and revolutionary fire. From the ancient roots of our name to the modern spirit of our streets, this experience is more than just a simple tour; it is the living story of who we are as Nicaraguans. Come and discover the soul of the most authentic city in the country with a local who knows its secrets. To go upstairs to the cathedral's rooftop the tickets are $4 each or 145 cordobas.
