Nicaragua on the Lake - I am very happy with my visit today of Granada and Masaya, even if the Masaya volcano national park was closed as security measures. Granada was interesting. The Masaya mirador was splendid. My guide Anthony was competent, knowledgeable and welcoming. The lunch at the port was good. Do not hesitate to take the boat tour on Nicaragua lake, it’s worth every penny in particular the Monkeys island.
Recommended!

Fun day in Nicaragua! - I had a wonderful time on the day tour of Masaya & Granada. Anthony was a fantastic tour guide. He was super knowledgeable and made sure I was well taken care of. I wasn’t able to go to the Masaya Volcano due to area being closed because the volcano was erupting. Anthony made sure there were alternative activities when Mother Nature changed our plans. I highly recommend this tour and ask for Anthony to be your guide!

Let me tell you something..... - Ok so imagine this..... Francisco pulls up to the porte cochere of your hotel in his sweet ride..... The Nicaraguan sunshine reflecting off the blue paint of his Toyota....... All of a sudden... the window rolls down and a refreshing scent of cold Pina colada hits you in the face.... Your eyes meet his... And his you.... You wish you meet a handsome local like him to show you around Nicaragua on your vacation..... all of a sudden..... His lips begin to move... Did you hear right!?! He calls out your name! You and your friends jump into his car and he sweeps you on a fully immersive dive into the heart and soul of Nicaragua. You glide through the many islands of Granada while given a wealth of historical information by an all local tour guide, feeding bananas to Michael jackson (spider monkey)....You brave the smoldering edge of an active volcano! You lose yourself in the endless shopping district.... You had the day of your life..... As he returns you to your hotel he goes to shake your hand.... You lean in for a full embrace because he just gave you the single greatest day of your life.... as he pulls away, you watch Francisco's Toyota get smaller and smaller in the distance as a tear rolls down your face.... A tear of joy.
5/5 would definitely recommend.

An awesome day!!!!! - Went solo with guide Antony,
We had a great day starting with the visit to Granada, then going to Ilsetas, he explains everything really well and it's interesting.
When it was time to eat we went to a restaurant which is built on an old train station, their food is very good, we finished the day peacefully in Granada and Masaya, I really can't say thank you enough for this day muchas Gracias mi hermano de Nicaragua 😁

A Unique and beautiful experience of Leon and Granada! - Our experience with Nica Paradise tours was unique and amazing! Our guide Anthony was friendly and helpful with his knowledge of local towns and traditions. We went volcano boarding and Anthony helped me with carrying my board at the top of the volcano when the wind got stronger. He also took some great photos of us so that we had some memories of our unforgettable time in Leon and Granada! I 100% recommend Nica Paradise Tours if you’re thinking about exploring Nicaragua 🇳🇮

Great 1st Visit to Nicaragua! - Anthony was a great tour guide. I spent two days with him touring Granada and the ruins of Leon. As a solo traveler, I felt very safe and comfortable with him as he helped me practice my Spanish. I highly recommend this tour.
