My brother and I visited Managua for the first time and were looking to get a tour of the city ... a tour that was all encompassing because we only had 1 day to do this. Ernesto (Nestor) was the man for the job. He was knowledgeable, professional, friendly, easy going, patient ... the best in a tour guide ... and we have had the best throughout our travels together. Hats off to Nestor for being an authentic person and great tour guide!
