I greatly enjoyed the hiking and boarding at the volcano with Franklin. He is kind, professional and provided an excellent service. I can highly recommend Franklin for similar excursions.

This tour was fantastic! Well worth it. Franklin was the guide for my wife and I, he was very knowledgeable! They picked us up in a nice new roomy truck for our private tour to Cerro Negro. My wife and I are not avid hikers so it was nice that we went at our own pace taking scenic breaks along the way. We didn’t even have to carry up our boards up the volcano, which is awesome because I saw many other boarders carrying theirs, no thanks. Franklin took a lot of pictures and videos of us which in itself basically getting a private photographer/videographer was sweet! Super worth it right there! Memories for a lifetime. :) He airdropped us right away as well. The jumpsuit we wore was of a denim material so it made us feel very safe! It was a more protective that what others wore. It was high quality material. The only thing I recommend bringing with you up the volcano beside a bottle of water is a handkerchief to cover your mouth when sledding down. And then the sledding part WOW. Sooo fun! And it was all on film! Thank you so much for a wonderful time. Absolutely recommend!

Did the private city tour with Franklin. Took closed to 4hour to go through some major point around city center. Not too much walking but a great intensive amount of history knowledge about the city/country and culture. Frankin is very professional on the history background. And can clearly introduce all the detail and answer the question. This is really a good suggested trip. A foreigner traveling to the city wont be able to understand and appreciate the history and culture easily without a professional guide.

We went with guide Franklin and his brother-in-law/driver, Darwin, to the Jacinto mud pools. They were both very friendly and Franklin provided some background to the region's history en route. The boiling mud pools are an interesting feature and you get pretty close. We're usually nervous of trips that sell interactions with communities in case they are too staged but the lady that demonstrated tortilla making was outstanding, as was her cousin, who provided the venue. Darwin has relatives in the village and it's clear that there's a genuine warmth to the people who live there. We encourage people to visit. It's gentle, warm hearted and educational.

Amazing experience. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and very helpful during the hike. Highly recommend this tour agency. Thank you guys!!

Franklin arranged everything for me, including my airport pick up and hotel transfers. Julio was my guide and agreed to take me to the cathedral as soon as it opened. As a result, I have the entire rooftop to myself. Beautiful experience.

Franklin organized my trip before I arrived. Sergio was my guide for the day. I was picked up early from the hotel. They had a local carry my board up to the top of the volcano at no additional cost to me. It was a hot hike up, but since I was a solo traveler, Sergio allowed me to go at my own pace. The trail that I boarded down was a little slow at first, with a couple of dips that I had to wiggle my way out of, but eventually it picked up quite a bit of speed. You essentially use your legs to help you stop or go faster. Hopefully you have enough core strength to stop yourself from tipping to the left or too far to the right. The views make the hike worked while. It was fun and exciting.

Sergio was an excellent guide. My husband and I were picked up promptly and supplied with all the gear we needed for the tour. I was nervous about this activity because I’m out of shape and not a “hiker” but Sergio was patient and kind. He didn’t rush me or make me feel bad when I wanted to stop for a quick break. Sergio is knowledgeable about the area and has a great sense of humor. I highly recommend the private tour with Sergio as your guide!

A lovely way to spend the morning. We were taken to a local farm where we picked up our horses and had a gentle amble through the surrounding countryside on horseback culminating in spectacular views of volcanos and El Tigre lagoon having swum in the lagoon the previous day we opted not to trek down to the water and swim but this is an option. We can ride, but I would say that the horses were tame and well-behaved to accommodate those who have no experience. The horses were also well cared for, not like some others we've seen around Leon. The farmer and his family were very friendly, and we enjoyed petting the goatsheep (a cross between a goat and a sheep that we've never seen before) as well as the various chickens ducks, etc Miguel from Vamos travel was an attentive guide. The only disappointment was the ride is advertised as 3 hours, but it was barely 2, so quite an expensive activity but still worth it on our opinion

This was an interesting day out from Leon, Miguel from Vamos travel was an excellent guide and we had a very enjoyable day visiting the hot mud geyser, old Leon and swimming in the el tigre lagoon. The scenery around Leon is spectacular and it's a shame that many tourists only ever see the city and go volcano surfing as there is clearly so much more to see and do. One thing of note the path down to the lagoon and back up is very steep and slippery so wear sensible footwear although the swims worth the hike. Would recommend this da trip.

Franklin was an incredible guide and really looked after us. I was a bit slow going up the volcano but he kept coming back and checking on me. He taught us some salsa moved at the top and had the tunes going throughout. The boarding was AWESOME. I was scared but once I got going it was AMAZING. Would 💯 do this again and can't recommend it enough. We also got all the videos and photos he took within 24hrs.

Miguel was our guide....very knowledgeable. The hike took some effort but not difficult by any means. Plenty of stops for photo opps. The views are amazing to say the least

As someone who has travelled to over 90 countries now I have tried and tested various tours and day trips and i must say this was one of the best I have ever been on. The organiser was very thorough explaining everything, he even went above and beyond his duty to take us to a separate tour straight after volcano boarding. His photography and editing skills are what make this experience even more special. More tour operators need to use this as a benchmark of how to operate fun and safe activities.

End to end their team took care of every detail. Got us around 400 near professional photos and videos of the experience alongside an excellent guide and an amazing hike and experience. Highly recommend going with these guys. Those couple of extra dollars go a long way in getting quality service!

To start off, we are from the United States. They have a traveling warning in effect. This company I cannot express enough of. The organization of the tour was beyond important, and they exceeded that beyond far. The fact that they made us feel safe, important, and cared for, was what hit the spot. Our tour was private so we had many different guides. Each and every single one of them impressed me (and my wife))(I am an avid traveler myself and a business owner). Their English was exceptional, but their sense of care for us was something I have rarely seen. Anywhere in the world. And that I something I'm impressed I'm willing to even say. Not once did I myself or my wife feel unsafe, or just another tourist. They made us feel special. They did so many small things that just simply melted our hearts. The schedule the owner created (Franklin) was very evident that it was our schedule. There were non stop activities planned, but if we weren't feeling up to it or wanted to do something else, immediately that occurred. They really just understand what is important for American tourists, or just tourists in general, and they make it happen. I could write a novel on how epic my experience was with them and the joy they created. The memories I now have will forever be within my soul and my heart. Give them a try, and you will see what I mean. Thank you Franklin, much love from us. -Chad
