I booked 3 separate tours with Gerald. Before finding Gerald, it was difficult finding tours in Nicaragua. He was the only one who got back to me and helped me tailor the tours to my needs. I tagged along on my husband’s business trip and decided to explore Nicaragua by myself on tours. On the first day, Gerald picked me up from the airport and was very flexible, understanding and accommodating since my flight was delayed getting in. He gave me a city tour of Managua and ended the day exploring Masaya Volcano. Gerald is very intelligent and shared his vast knowledge of the country’s history and current socio-political climate. I learned so much about Nicaragua on the first day!
On the second day, we started bright and early to hike Centro Negro. I wanted to sand board down the volcano and Gerald was kind enough to carry the board for me as we did the hike. He took great pictures and videos to document such a unique moment! We had lunch at a great grill spot on the beach and moved on to a beautiful tour of Leon where I got to climb the main cathedral and take in the beautiful 360 sight of the area.
On the third day, we did a city tour of Granada, did a little shopping at the souvenir shop, and visited speciality shops to get wooden bowls and cigars. It was a pleasure meeting all of the shop owners. We ended the day on a relaxing boat ride along Lake Nicaragua.
I truly do not think I would’ve enjoyed Nicaragua without Gerald’s help, expertise, and love of the country. I absolutely enjoyed my time and would recommend him to anyone visiting!
