Very fun activities, Moses was very professional, he saved us a lot of time and his company made our activity fun and enriching.

Summary:
Moises was an absolutely exceptional guide. He was well informed on all aspects of Nicaragua and was personable and fun. He has a really great and comprehensive perspective on the country, nature, and... just all of it!
He turned our experience into an informative and awesome evening and was super flexible in accommodating our plans. Just for comparison- last time I went to the Masaya Volcano, I booked a different guide bc I didn't know any better. They essentially dumped us off, told us nothing, and charged a ton of money. Not Moises! He spent so much time making sure we had the best evening ever. Book with this company- you absolutely won't regret it!!!
