We learned a lot about Nicaragua and we still think that a promotion of your country in Holland will be profitable.
Nicaragua is a very nice country for peolple from Holland and Europe
I must tell you that your services were outstanding. We always felt the invisible hand of Oro ensuring our safe and expedient travel & the best possible services.
Ometepe is the farthest from the U.S.A. we've ever been in terms of rustic off-the-map travel, and I would recommend your services to anyone.
Die Reise war ein tolles Erlebnis, alle interessanten Stationen wurden berücksichtigt und das Programm war nicht zu voll. Die Hotels waren angenehm, die Strassen sehr abenteuerlich und wir waren froh, einen 4 x 4 Wagen zu haben.
Das örtliche Reisebüro ORO - Travel hat uns sehr beeindruckt, die Unterlagen und Vouchers kamen pünktlich bei der Autoübergabe und waren sehr informativ. In Granada wurden wir dann tel. informiert, dass wir wegen dem starken Wind, der zu dieser Zeit über Nicaragua hinwegfegte, evt. die Fähre nach Ometepe nicht benützen könnten, da 2 Tage vorher eine Fähre gekippt wäre. Sie würden uns dann ein neues Programm zusammenstellen.
Glücklicherweise legte sich der Wind dann soweit, dass wir trotzdem übersetzten konnten ( es war jedoch immer noch sehr abenteuerlich ). Wir fanden es jedenfalls sehr aufmerksam, dass ORO - Travel uns informiert hatte.
Die Autoübergabe in Montelimar hat ebenfalls wunderbar geklappt und auch der Rücktransport zum Hotel Camino Real.
Wir hatten immer ein gutes Gefühl und können nichts bemängeln.
Die Reiseunterlagen, welche wir von Ihnen erhielten waren uns eine grosse Hilfe und sehr umfangreich.
Wir würden diese Reise auf jeden Fall weiter empfehlen.
I loved our trip!:

I loved our trip! Julio and Giovanni were both great, and my only complaint was that the trip was not longer. Oh, and it would be nice if your clients knew in advance how much to tip people such as bellboys, drivers, restaurant people, guides, etc. Even just a range would be good! Julio was nice enough to help us with most everyone except for himself :-)
Also, I think I might have restructured it a little bit too, i.e. seen some of the managua stuff the day we arrived, since we arrived fairly early in the afternoon, and there wasn't that much to do in or around our hotel. And I think I would have skipped spending the night in Leon, because the La Perla, while it looked nice, was where we had the most problems. Our door lock wouldn't work properly, our window wouldn't lock, and no one there spoke that much English. And it's just not as nice of a city as Granada is!
I liked La Omaja on Ometepe, although I was a little worried about it after talking to you. I didn't see the inside of Villa Paraiso, so I have nothing to compare it to, but the food was great (best breakfast of the trip!), and it was nice and quiet, and not full of people like Villa Paraiso.
Julio took great care of us, which is important to me, because while I can tough it out a bit, my wife needs more care, so he was very good for us. He always made sure we were okay, helped us to order at restaurants, was excellent at spotting wildlife, and was just generally fun to be with.
I liked Morgan's Rock and was glad that we ended the trip there. We had a lot of fun there, and it was nice to just relax, and I'm so grateful to you for getting us the second night on such short notice! The one little adventure we had was this: We arrived at the hotel, opened our suitcases up, and then went to dinner. While at dinner I thought that we should keep our suitcases closed, just in case any bugs crawled in, so when we got back to the room, we shut our suitcases, and zipped them up. In the morning, I went to get my clothes out of the suitcase, so I opened it up, and there was a big scorpion sitting in my suitcase! I was able to get it out with chopsticks that I always carry, and then killed it with my shoe. Thankfully we discovered him there and not when we arrived home! The only other thing I would say about Morgan's Rock is that service is slow, and things move at a different pace, so people should just relax and take things as they come.
Anyway, thank you so much for all of the hardwork that you put into our trip, all the planning, answering all of the questions, etc. I really appreciated it, and my wife, who is more the sit on a beach at a nice resort kind of person, loved the trip, which says a lot! I have already recommended your company to friends, so if you ever need a recommendation or anything, feel free to use my name!
I had a FANTASTIC time...:

Julio and my driver Yamal were Super Terrific!!!!! I met their wives one night and we went out for dinner. Then, we went out dancing. They kept me entertained and laughing.
The best way to experience the Nicaraguan culture. One of the wives gave me embroidery napkins and a CD of a singer named Paquita La del Barrio. Funny, very funny. Every time I play the CD, it gives me back memories of my Nicaraguan trip.
I gained a lot of knowledge of Nic...:

I have just finished my explore tour of Nicaragua and want to let you know what a great and interesting time I had. The tour was great from start to finish and Julio was great at answering my many questions about your country.
I gained a lot of knowledge of Nicaragua, of its people, history and the future of the country. I also had the pleasure of meeting Carla whom I think is just a great person. As this was my first tour ever it gave me a lot of insight to the job of tour operator, and it is certainly not a easy one with managing eighteen personalities. Julio did a great job!
Thank you to all of you for making my trip so enjoyable, and I will
certainly will be coming back.

+InfoOmetepe could become one of the new 7 natural wonders of the world.: Destination: Ometepe Island
Date: May 08 2009
One of the most natural precious jewels of Nicaragua is Ometepe, a volcanic island formed by two imposing volcanoes located on the second largest freshwater lake in Latin America. Today Ometepe, a native Nahuatl word, which stands for “Two Hills” is competing along with others islands of the world to become one of the new 7 natural wonders of the planet. This tough competition is being carried through the website of “The New7Wonders Foundation & Campaign” established in 2001 by the Swiss-born Canadian filmmaker, author and adventurer Bernard Weber to contribute to the protection of the world’s human-built and natural heritage and to foster respect for the cultural diversity on our planet.
The impressive volcanic island of Ometepe was added to the list of world biosphere reserves network of UNESCO. The island was nominated unanimously during the twenty second session of the Council for International Coordination of Man and the Biosphere Program (MAB-UNESCO). This program was established in 1977 to promote an interdisciplinary approach to research, training and communications in ecosystem conservation and rational use of natural resources. Biosphere reserves are protected areas that are meant to demonstrate a balanced relationship between man and nature.
