A fantastic day trip to Granada and Masaya! Must visits in Nicaragua - Granada is historically one of Nicaragua's most important cities. It has a rich colonial heritage which can be seen in its architecture and structure. This private tour began when my guide, Tony, picked me up from my hotel at 10 am Tuesday morning and drove me about 1 hour to Granada. We spent a few hours exploring the historic city of Granada and visited many notable locations within the city such as the Immaculate Conception of Mary Cathedral Church, Parroquia de Nuestra Señora de la Merced, the Chocolate Museum, and more. After that, we went out and took a 1 hour an awesome boat tour of the islands in Lake Nicaragua. Once that boat tour was complete, Tony took me to have lunch at a fantastic lakeside restaurant in Granada before he drove me to the final stop of the day tour - the Mirador de Catarina lookout. This lookout spot is a site with local markets for shopping and a popular viewpoint that offers stunning panoramic views of Lake Apoyo, Granada, and Lake Nicaragua. After our last stop in Masaya, Tony started driving me back to my hotel in Managua and he had me back there by 6 pm. This was an awesome day tour and big shoutout to my guide Tony once more for leading me on this day tour, he did a great job leading me on my Leon & Volcano Cerro Negro Tour and he did the same great job on this one. Don’t hesitate to book this Granada & Masaya day tour when you’re in Managua, it was fantastic and I highly recommend it! - Nolan

Perfect tour of Granada! - The tour was perfect. We got to experience Granada, las Isletas, a very nice meal with a great view, and a beautiful sunset. Anthony was a great guide! His English was perfect, he was very knowledgeable about the history of Nicaragua and the sights we were visiting, and most importantly he was a lot of fun! Anthony was also very flexible and gave us time to experience all of the stops at our own pace. I highly recommend him and the tour!

Fantastic day in Nicaragua - Even though the Masaya volcano was closed due to activity, the day was great. I had a great time seeing Granada and Catarina. Anthony is professional and friendly! I did not feel rushed during this tour. This is a great value because the tour is private and done at your own pace! Highly recommend this tour!!

Take a day trip with Nica Paradise Tours, you will not be disappointed! - My husband and I had an amazing day trip with Anthony. He is quite knowledgeable about his beautiful country. He knew everthing about the cathedrals & last isletas of Granada, to el Mirador de Catarina & el Mercado of Masaya. We couldn't have asked for a better tour guide. Anthony is excellent at what he does, very professional and friendly at the same time. The company was extremely communicative though out the entire booking process. They even assisted me other additional car service later during our trip. If you are in Nicaragua highly recommend Nica Paradise Tours.
