Leo was an amazing guide! He’s a true local showing you around his city. He was very knowledgeable in the history of Nicaragua and shared a variety of perspectives. We were a larger group of almost 15 people, but he did a great job keeping everyone engaged. I would highly recommend booking a tour with Leo.
