- 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!

Asked on December 8th, 2024Is the tour on January 19th, 2025 still available? According to the Website, there is one space left, if I book the space, would I be sharing a room with a female traveler?
- Explore!Operator•Written December 2024
Our January 19th 2025 departure is on request. This is because since we are getting close to departure, we have released the space we are holding at our local accommodation. This means that we would have to request the space back at the time of booking. To request the space we would require full payment. Once the space is requested, we usually hear back within 5 business days. We are still able to request either a single room or a shared room.
