1. Leon and Old Town Leon Tour
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 3 reviews
Enjoy the experience of exploring the ruins of the Ciudad Vieja Leon, the first capital of Nicaragua, founded in 1524 by Spanish captain Francisco Hernandez de Cordoba on the shores of the Momotombo volcano. By several earthquakes and volcanic eruptions in 1610, this city was relocated 53 miles (90 km) north of Managua. After the 1 hour trip on a scenic road along the lake Xolotlan or Lake Managua, with a breathtaking view of the Old City Momotombito Momotombo and volcanoes. We end our tour with a stroll through the San Jacinto Volcanic Fields, a place where hot steam and gas bubbles through the deep mud volcano Telica Field is not large, but it is interesting as it is hot walk to see the different holes that vary in size and color. The sometimes mud thrown small pebbles and steam is always being thrown by many children in the area offer their guide, which is a good idea since there is no sign indicating where it is safe to walk and locals know where to take.

I booked the combo tour via web site (Viator), and paid for tickets. On the reservation form requested the local traveling company (Vive Travel) to contact me to finalize the details of transportation pick up. At the time of reservation, the web form indicated the local transportation would pick up at any private residence or selected hotel list in the San Jose area. After not hearing back from local touring company, contacted Viator, explained the situation. I was instructed to go to a specific hotel as suggested by Viator and was also told that they had made note with the local touring company to pick me up at that location by 5:00AM on the touring day. I was also given local touring company contact information via WhatsApp and phone # to call if required. Decided to drive two hours and stay at the local recommended hotel the night before tour. Checked into the hotel and reached out to local touring company via WhatsApp informing them of my location. WhatsApp confirmed that they read the message but the local traveling company did not respond back. Finally 8:00PM the night before the tour, I called Viator and informed them that I have had zero feedback from local touring company and was started to get concerned about the being picked up from the hotel. After one hour of phone call with Viator, I was told to go to the hotel lobby area and was assured that someone would be picking us up for transport. Was in the lobby before 5:00AM, and still no sign of transportation. Called Viator, and was told to wait till 6:00AM and call back again. 6:00AM still no sign of local transportation. Called Viator, got the refund, but could not believe the agent attempted to sell me another tour package. Seriously! Four calls to Viator, multiple attempts via email to local travel touring company, several confirmed WhatsApp messages and our planned day of going on several tours got completely abolished with significant disappointments. I hold Viator completely responsible for what happened and this is false advertisement on their behalf. Although they refunded my money, I would never ever book anything with them again. Book at your own risk. Don't expect too much and be ready for being disappointed.
