The people at the BosaTour were amazing. We booked a special tour with pick up in Managua, visit Cerro Negro, and drop off in Popoyo. The team was super accommodating and top list of great photos to capture our adventure up the volcano. They even stopped on the side of the road for some fruit. I can’t recommend them enough.

ITA gave me the experience of a lifetime and surrounded me with warm and welcoming people. The hotel made me feel like a queen, our activities gave me a sense of thrill, the food was delicious, and the overall atmosphere made me feel so accepted. With travel you sometimes say "Maybe ill come back again someday. Who knows." After jumping into this adventure, I KNOW it is a destination I will go back to. There are no "what ifs" or "maybes" for me. It was that memorable and life changing. ITA made sure of it with their amazing team of DOERS!

I had so much fun. It was me and bae and it was great bc it’s a private tour so we could get to know each better with less distractions. Our tour guides were sweet and patient. I love taking pictures so they waited whenever I wanted to stop for photo ops. The chocolate factory was delicious. The lake was beautiful. The town was colorful and the volcano was crazy. Although I thought we would get a closer view like how I’ve heard it described in Hawaii. But I still could see the lava with their provided binoculars and they provided a selfie stick!! I wish I could remember my tour guide name but I a picture of him!

Davis was great! We visited so many fantastic locations: chocolate museum, cigar factory, colonial church, and had a traditional lunch. The boat ride was amazing. So beautiful and we got to see monkeys! We tried to visit the masaya market but most vendors were closed because it was a Sunday. Our last stop was the masaya volcano. Wow! What an incredible experience to visit at night. It was very busy and we waited a long time to get in. I think the crowds were a combination of it being the weekend and also the park had recently reopen. It was totally worth the wait! We had such a great time that we arranged a driver for the next day. Rafael and Christopher were as sweet as they come! We went to the masaya market, apoyo lake lookout, and Rafael found a potter in San Juan de Oriente who invited us into his home to show us his process! Definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Please contact Show Me Nicaragua. You will not be disappointed!
