I'm looking for a private tour for my family of 4 maybes 5. For 9/10 days. Would like a varied trip including jungle, volcanoes, culture, history. 3 of us would then stay for 3/4 days on a beach. Would you have any suggestions Travel date July 18/19th.

We have one departure in July from the 27th July - 08th August. All of our tours are set itineraries and therefore cannot be tailor made.

Is the tour on January 19th, 2025 still available? According to the Website, there is one space left, if I book the space, would I be sharing a room with a female traveler?

Our January 19th 2025 departure is on request. This is because since we are getting close to departure, we have released the space we are holding at our local accommodation. This means that we would have to request the space back at the time of booking. To request the space we would require full payment. Once the space is requested, we usually hear back within 5 business days. We are still able to request either a single room or a shared room.

Is the Nicaragua - Land of Lakes and Volcanoes tour guaranteed and how many seats are available?

The Nicaragua - Land of Lakes and Volcanoes tour departing on 19th February is guaranteed. Currently, 11 places are booked and 7 seats are still available.
