Nicaragua is a country filled with towering volcanoes, alluring colonial towns, heart pumping adventure, and classic Central American charm! So the best way to maximize our time in this beautiful country is to book a tour with a local guide. This is how we met Franklin, founder of Vamos Travel Nicaragua.
Franklin does it all! From history and transportation to being a photographer and a friend, it was so helpful to travel through Nicaragua with a local expert! (Click here to check out Vamostravelnic Instagram!) Right away, we knew we made the right decision booking a tour with Vamos Travel Nicaragua. It was an amazing feeling to have someone waiting for us at the Costa Rica / Nicaragua border. We didn’t have to worry about bus times, finding an ATM, or using our limited Spanish to try to navigate where we wanted to go. All we had to do was jump in the air conditioned car and relax!
The best thing about our time with Franklin was getting to learn from a local Nicaraguan. Vamos Travel Nicaragua crafts their tours to best experience the country’s history, culture, and food. With more than 16 years of experience as a certified tour guide, Franklin does an incredible job of explaining the difficult and flourishing times of Nicaragua’s history. He is a walking encyclopedia of dates and did a great job of conveying the history and information in an engaging and interesting way!
Franklin is a master at customizing his tours to each of his customers. We told him the things we wanted to see and he made sure that we were able to experience them. It was very helpful with our limited time to have his honest opinion on what was worth seeing and what we could skip. We really wish that we had more time to explore the beautiful country of Nicaragua, but we are so thankful for our incredible experience with Vamos Travel Nicaragua!
