About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Desiree03140 contributionsVolcano boardingSuch a fun and unique experience! Would 100% recommend. On top of it, our guide Franklin was soo knowledgeable and he even made us a professional video with pictures:)Written February 8, 2025
- Lovetotravel98760 contributionsExcellent experienceI greatly enjoyed the hiking and boarding at the volcano with Franklin. He is kind, professional and provided an excellent service. I can highly recommend Franklin for similar excursions.Written January 16, 2025
- jerolynb400 contributionsAmazing!This tour was fantastic! Well worth it. Franklin was the guide for my wife and I, he was very knowledgeable! They picked us up in a nice new roomy truck for our private tour to Cerro Negro. My wife and I are not avid hikers so it was nice that we went at our own pace taking scenic breaks along the way. We didn’t even have to carry up our boards up the volcano, which is awesome because I saw many other boarders carrying theirs, no thanks. Franklin took a lot of pictures and videos of us which in itself basically getting a private photographer/videographer was sweet! Super worth it right there! Memories for a lifetime. :) He airdropped us right away as well. The jumpsuit we wore was of a denim material so it made us feel very safe! It was a more protective that what others wore. It was high quality material. The only thing I recommend bringing with you up the volcano beside a bottle of water is a handkerchief to cover your mouth when sledding down. And then the sledding part WOW. Sooo fun! And it was all on film! Thank you so much for a wonderful time. Absolutely recommend!Written January 7, 2025
- chang l0 contributionsGreat city tour about Leon/Nica history and cultureDid the private city tour with Franklin. Took closed to 4hour to go through some major point around city center. Not too much walking but a great intensive amount of history knowledge about the city/country and culture. Frankin is very professional on the history background. And can clearly introduce all the detail and answer the question. This is really a good suggested trip. A foreigner traveling to the city wont be able to understand and appreciate the history and culture easily without a professional guide.Written January 6, 2025
- Avid10 contributionsNot Yellowstone but a genuinely interesting way to spend a few hours in LeonWe went with guide Franklin and his brother-in-law/driver, Darwin, to the Jacinto mud pools. They were both very friendly and Franklin provided some background to the region's history en route. The boiling mud pools are an interesting feature and you get pretty close. We're usually nervous of trips that sell interactions with communities in case they are too staged but the lady that demonstrated tortilla making was outstanding, as was her cousin, who provided the venue. Darwin has relatives in the village and it's clear that there's a genuine warmth to the people who live there. We encourage people to visit. It's gentle, warm hearted and educational.Written January 5, 2025
- Athina-Nanno K0 contributionsA MUSTAmazing experience. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and very helpful during the hike. Highly recommend this tour agency. Thank you guys!!Written November 29, 2024
- njd14880 contributionsGreat service. Excellent and informative experience.Franklin arranged everything for me, including my airport pick up and hotel transfers. Julio was my guide and agreed to take me to the cathedral as soon as it opened. As a result, I have the entire rooftop to myself. Beautiful experience.Written October 20, 2024
- njd14880 contributionsExcellent experience. Great service.Franklin organized my trip before I arrived. Sergio was my guide for the day. I was picked up early from the hotel. They had a local carry my board up to the top of the volcano at no additional cost to me. It was a hot hike up, but since I was a solo traveler, Sergio allowed me to go at my own pace. The trail that I boarded down was a little slow at first, with a couple of dips that I had to wiggle my way out of, but eventually it picked up quite a bit of speed. You essentially use your legs to help you stop or go faster. Hopefully you have enough core strength to stop yourself from tipping to the left or too far to the right. The views make the hike worked while. It was fun and exciting.Written October 20, 2024
- venturebae0 contributionsAmazing Tour and Awesome GuideSergio was an excellent guide. My husband and I were picked up promptly and supplied with all the gear we needed for the tour. I was nervous about this activity because I’m out of shape and not a “hiker” but Sergio was patient and kind. He didn’t rush me or make me feel bad when I wanted to stop for a quick break. Sergio is knowledgeable about the area and has a great sense of humor. I highly recommend the private tour with Sergio as your guide!Written September 27, 2024
- macmill0 contributionsA lovely ride in the countrysideA lovely way to spend the morning. We were taken to a local farm where we picked up our horses and had a gentle amble through the surrounding countryside on horseback culminating in spectacular views of volcanos and El Tigre lagoon having swum in the lagoon the previous day we opted not to trek down to the water and swim but this is an option. We can ride, but I would say that the horses were tame and well-behaved to accommodate those who have no experience. The horses were also well cared for, not like some others we've seen around Leon. The farmer and his family were very friendly, and we enjoyed petting the goatsheep (a cross between a goat and a sheep that we've never seen before) as well as the various chickens ducks, etc Miguel from Vamos travel was an attentive guide. The only disappointment was the ride is advertised as 3 hours, but it was barely 2, so quite an expensive activity but still worth it on our opinionWritten August 27, 2024
- macmill0 contributionsA great day out spectacular scenery and good guideThis was an interesting day out from Leon, Miguel from Vamos travel was an excellent guide and we had a very enjoyable day visiting the hot mud geyser, old Leon and swimming in the el tigre lagoon. The scenery around Leon is spectacular and it's a shame that many tourists only ever see the city and go volcano surfing as there is clearly so much more to see and do. One thing of note the path down to the lagoon and back up is very steep and slippery so wear sensible footwear although the swims worth the hike. Would recommend this da trip.Written August 26, 2024
- Purrpleivy0 contributionsAMAZING DayFranklin was an incredible guide and really looked after us. I was a bit slow going up the volcano but he kept coming back and checking on me. He taught us some salsa moved at the top and had the tunes going throughout. The boarding was AWESOME. I was scared but once I got going it was AMAZING. Would 💯 do this again and can't recommend it enough. We also got all the videos and photos he took within 24hrs.Written August 26, 2024
- N240GIkevinn0 contributionsIncredible Cerro Negro TripMiguel was our guide....very knowledgeable. The hike took some effort but not difficult by any means. Plenty of stops for photo opps. The views are amazing to say the leastWritten July 6, 2024
- 868suhailp0 contributionsFantastic tourAs someone who has travelled to over 90 countries now I have tried and tested various tours and day trips and i must say this was one of the best I have ever been on. The organiser was very thorough explaining everything, he even went above and beyond his duty to take us to a separate tour straight after volcano boarding. His photography and editing skills are what make this experience even more special. More tour operators need to use this as a benchmark of how to operate fun and safe activities.Written June 19, 2024
- kraftys0 contributionsTeam that goes above and beyondEnd to end their team took care of every detail. Got us around 400 near professional photos and videos of the experience alongside an excellent guide and an amazing hike and experience. Highly recommend going with these guys. Those couple of extra dollars go a long way in getting quality service!Written June 19, 2024
