        A Peek at the Land of Lakes and Volcanoes
        Vapues handled logistics for our requested custom tour this January. The hotels and lunch restaurants were well chosen, the transportation safe and efficient, and our activity providers were pleasant and knowledgeable. We are happy we chose Vapues to facilitate our rewarding visit to Nicaragua.

        Expertise & Professionalism.
        When we decided on travelling to Nicaragua, we wanted to use a tour company as we knew nothing about the many sites available. One criteria was to find an in-country company and not a big-name international tour company. Vapues appealed to us based on its highly rated reviews and tour flexibility. We were not disappointed. From the on-set, communication was speedy and helpful. Emily, the office representative spent a great amount of time suggesting, adjusting and perfecting our tour itinerary. Her & the office response and professionalism was outstanding. Our 12 day tour began with our flights being cancelled. As we were in Costa Rica, Emily was able to pivot and arrange for us to be picked up by shuttle at the border. She even responded to us at 3:30am - from the start we did not feel abandoned. Our tour guide Oscar, spoke English and exceeded meeting our needs in results and in ensuring our safety. We had a lot of fun with him learning about the culture, traditions, and history of Nicaragua. The tour was exactly what we wanted - a bit of knowledge, a bit of experience and an opportunity to venture out on our own. Every detail was coordinated and the sites and stops they arranged were amazing, from cities to volcanoes. The highlight of the tour was being able to rely on a company and a group of professionals (office, guides, & drivers) who had your best interest as a priority and to deliver a premium experience. We have no complaints and highly recommend Vupues (meaning ‘let’s do it) as the name suggests.

        Nicaragua more than expected
        Very experienced trip planner, safe drivers, and knowledgeable guides. We had experienced more than what we expected. They made our visit to this small country a rich experience beyond our expectations.

        Very reliable ground staff, safe vehicle, experienced guide. Our trip planner was very responsive whenever we needed her to any questions that popped up in our 2-week journey in Nicaragua. Great services in all aspects.

        Fun and Interactive short Tour
        I have lots of photos. Hopefully I can upload them later. I was walking the town and just did a walk-in. They give you an option of a quick tour or wanting to participate in the workshop. I opted for the quick tour which was FREE. Of course, just tip and we walked about with some coco and brownie. I don't know what the cost is for the workshop but you can just pop-up and they will accommodate you.

        Nicaragua: a quiet gem
        We had a 6 day private tour for 3 people. It all went like clockwork. We went to Managua, Leon and Granada. Our driver Juan and guide Rene were terrific. Very pleasant and informative. The two hotels we stayed at were great. Comfortable beds and perfect locations. I would recommend the tour company VaPues highly. They were very responsive to all our needs. Nicaragua is a quiet gem.

        Nicaraguan Adventure
        I used Vapues Travel for a wonderful trip to Nicaragua. I was so impressed with the variety and charm of hotels that were selected, from a former convent to beach-side hotels to the charming Casa Marimba on Laguna de Apoyo to the delightful accommodations on Ometepe. The staff at Vapues went above and beyond as travel plans changed and had to be adjusted. The Guides and Drivers were so knowledgeable and helpful as I peppered them with questions. I learned so much about the country’s history. Oscar and Juan get high-fives for their kindness and humor to a senior citizen from California. I would use Vapues Travel again, without a hesitation.

        Nicaragua was the best
        Vapues pulled out all the stops to give us a wonderful experience. Our guide Oscar, who looked after us around Granada, was superb. Very informative and helpful. We have travelled to many countries and experienced good guides, but he was exceptional. In addition, Reyna, our tour organiser was always available for small questions and every evening followed up on the day. Well done and a BIG thanks from both of us.

        ¡BATE BATE CHOCOLATE!
        This is a fabulously fun and informative experience. You will learn the historical and cultural significance of chocolate in Latin America from the pre-Colombian time through the present. Following this journey, you will make a cacao drink just like the indigenous peoples did, make the variation on drink in the way that the Spanish colonizers did, and then make your own chocolate bars. This is a hands-on experience, so be prepared to wear an apron and get your hands a little dirty as you have tons of fun making chocolate!

        Fabulous 16-day Nicaragua tour
        Vapues arranged a fabulous 16-day tour for me to see Nicaragua. Lucia was very understanding, super friendly and patient to setup a perfect itinerary, covering culture, history, local life, nature beauty, adventure, etc. Lucia was also checking on if everything okay everyday during my entire trip. All of the guides and drivers were very professional and knowledgeable. Oscar was outstanding, very knowledgeable and super friendly. Hotels were recommended and booked per my preference. Everything was taken care of in very good detail. As a world traveler having visited 100+ countries, I must say Vapues Travel is really among the top. Highly recommend!

        Five Star Nicaragua Tour
        Excellent in all respects! As world travelers we do enjoy the added cultural insight gained by the assistance of local guides. We would not visit Nicaragua again without Vapues! Rayna coordinated all perfectly. She was so friendly and diligent with daily texts as to pick ups and drop offs and drivers. She gave us total peace of mind. Oscar, our guide in Granada, spoke perfect English and was as informative as he was courteous and friendly with a great sense of humor. A man of many talents, he had an answer for every one of our many questions. He helped us with special requests. He met us at the border and accompanied us through Immigration- which can be daunting the first time. His encouragement gave us the courage to zip line for the first time! The meals included were first rate as were the hotels, all of which we highly recommend. There was nothing we would change. Thank you Vapues for service we can highly recommend to others!

        A Nicaragua trip that was fabulous in every possible way!
        The 6-day private journey with my superb guide and drivers that Vapues arranged for me was spectacular from start to finish. Vapues selected marvelous hotels in Managua, Leon and Granada. They arranged wonderful excursions in and around these cities, as well as to the spectacular Masaya Volcano, lagoons, lakes, UNESCO sites, museums, artisan workshops, and nature parks. They selected excellent restaurants every day which served delicious and healthful local dishes. In addition to the itinerary I arranged in advance with Vapues, they included some wonderful and unexpected stops, such as to the home of a family in one of the White Towns who entertained me with delightful music and dancing. The staff at Vapues was very attentive, very organized, very professional, and made sure my trip worked out perfectly from the minute I arrived to the minute I headed home. You will be hard-pressed to find a tour company as terrific as Vapues, and I say that as someone who has done private travel to more than 150 countries all over the world.

        A great way of seeing Nicaragua and living local, while avoiding all hazzles
        Amazing service that made it possible to experience two of Nicaragua’s highlights in a comfortable way - even with small kids. We came across from Costa Rica, and with help from Vapues the border crossing went relatively easy. We felt very well taken care of, being met by a guide at the border, set up in very comfortable hotels and with an itinerary that made us experience Nicaragua - and having happy kids all the way. Our trip went first to Granada and then to Isla Ometepe, where we had an excellent excursion with nature walks, coffee tasting, visiting a market and seeing some pre-historic sites. When one of the walks proved a little challenging for our youngest, our guide was quick to suggest a different walk that suited us better. I really appreciated the full service and good support from the Vapues team, we always felt like they were looking out for us. Special thanks to Sandra and Obed who helped us carry out the whole thing!

      Our tour was great and easy, picking us up and dropping us off at the hotel. It ended up just being us on the tour, and we learned a lot about Nicaraguan history and culture, and got to see a lot of the city.

      Oscar was a wonderful tour guide who showed me many things about what life is like in Nicaragua. Learned alot about the history of the country and saw a variety of areas of Managua.

      Many positive changes are happening in Managua and I would definitely like to return and bring my family with me.

      Oscar is the absolute best!
