Summary: Julio, made our time absolutely amazing. Extremely knowledgeable and was able to answer all of our questions thoroughly. During our 3 hour our Julio gave us answers on everything from Nicaraguan ancient history to current economic exports. There was nothing he didn’t know! Easy and punctual pickup, friendly, and excellent insights and guidance around the volcano. If we could, we would have Julio take us everywhere.
