5.00I had a really fun time with Nica Nica Tours! The Central Market is super interesting, full of culture and great vibes. Everyone was so friendly, which made everything even better. I tried sopa de leche, a traditional dish, and it was really good. I’d definitely do it again!

5.00I recently had an amazing experience with Nica Nica Tours when I went on a trip with my friends. Everything was perfectly organized, and the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive from the beginning. They made us feel comfortable and welcomed at all times. One of the highlights of the trip was trying Indio Viejo, a traditional Nicaraguan dish, and it was absolutely delicious. The flavors were authentic and well-prepared, and we really enjoyed learning about the culture behind it. The guides were knowledgeable and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. They treated us with kindness and professionalism, which made our trip unforgettable. I highly recommend Nina Nica Tours to anyone looking for a fun, well-organized, and authentic travel experience in Nicaragua.

5.00I had the opportunity to live an amazing experience with Nica Nica Tour on her Nicaraguan cooking tour 🇳🇮. From the beginning, the team was very friendly and organized, explaining each step and the origin of the traditional ingredients. During the tour we learned to prepare "Indio Viejo" typical Nicaraguan dish, using homemade techniques and fresh produce. The best thing was that we not only cooked, but also learned about the history and culture behind this recipe. In the end we could enjoy everything we prepared, in a very authentic and delicious experience. I totally recommend this tour if you want to live Nicaraguan cuisine in a fun, cultural and very tasty way. Thanks Nina Nica Tour!
Excellent
