What people are saying about Granada, Nicaragua

Really good guide on Onetepe island. The guide was living there for his whole life and knew every place. It’s quite a travel from Granada (1u taxi, 1h boat + some connecting time - it took 3 hours one way) but was worth seeing the nice island!

Highly recommend this tour! Our guide Paulo was incredible and super knowledgeable. Fantastic experience which is a must while in Granada!

Fast and intense but worth it if you have little time in Nicaragua, the best hand in hand with Granada throughout the country!

Very relaxed tour and the guide even took more time :)
