- AMary· February 18th, 2023Rene out guide was amazing, nothing was too much trouble for him. He took care of all our needs and desires without hesitation plus doing a first rate job of introducing everyone of us to Nicaragua, it’s history, culture and everyday life. Defiantly one of the best guides I have encountered on scores of escorted trips around the world. My favourite stop over was the city of Granada, throughly enjoyed exploring it at my own pace as it is so easy to do and very grateful I took Rene’s suggestion to take the boat trip around the lake, seeing Spider and Whitefaced monkeys was an extra bonus.Show moreTrip date: January 2023Review collected by Explore!
