If you are in Leon, you absolutely have to book a tour with Alejandro. I’ve traveled to many places and done many walking tours, and Alejandro easily ranks in my top tier of guides worldwide.
What sets him apart is his incredible attention to detail and his ability to make complex Nicaraguan history accessible. He is clearly a well-read scholar of his craft; he even brings physical images and maps to the tour to help illustrate historical points. His explanations are crystal clear, and he has a unique talent for using analogies and examples from the specific nationalities of the people in the group, making the history feel personal to everyone.
The pacing was perfect, and I was particularly impressed by how he ended the tour. He took a few minutes to genuinely ask for feedback so he can continue to refine his tour. It’s clear he doesn’t just do this as a job—he truly loves what he does. An absolute must-do in Leon!
