They really enjoyed it ... if it's the same one, they said it was quite posh and impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck1949 Posted July 26, 2017 #28 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Has anyone used JulioTours for the Banana Plantation tour that he offers in the nearby city of Posoltega. I have been unable to locate any information about this place/tour ANYWHERE (Internet, trip advisor, cruise critic etc.) outside of Julio Tours website. Thanks for any information.

We are on a HAL ship next month (Nov). If we do a tour this is one we are considering with Julio tours. They have a good reputation, but I don't know a lot about this specific tour.

BCSmallTownGirl Posted November 17, 2017 #34 Share Posted November 17, 2017 We are headed on our Panama Canal Cruise in March 2018 -- these suggestions should help :) Thanks! Anyone have any more tips for Corinto (or any of the other ports of call?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eltigre Posted March 12, 2018 #35 Share Posted March 12, 2018 We enjoyed Corinto much more than we thought we would as it was so difficult to find any info. We thought we would just stay on board. We did get off & took a short walk to the entrance of the pier where you are immediately in the town center. On port days they set up many stalls along the road, for several blocks selling trinkets. The 2 person pedi cabs are everywhere & will take you to a black sand beach with 2 eateries, wait & bring you back for $5-$10. We had a really enjoyable time.

CRHeel94 Posted March 19, 2018 #36 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Theres an interesting rum tour near Puerto Corinto, 40 minutes away in Chichigalpa. https://www.tourflordecana.com/Home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal_Gal Posted July 6, 2018 #37 Share Posted July 6, 2018 HI I am considering doing a private tour with Julio Tours... for some reason I cannot open your thread I also tried the link offered above and have not had any success finding an alternative site for Julio Tours. Have they gone out of business?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pomegranate22 Posted July 6, 2018 #38 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I also tried the link offered above and have not had any success finding an alternative site for Julio Tours. Have they gone out of business?? According to their Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/Julio-Tours-Nicaragua-438547932822351/): 'Hello friends. The www.juliotoursnicaragua.com.ni is temporarily suspended by technical problems. We're working on retrieving the data. Thank you very much for your understanding.' I get the feeling that the shore excursion tours from Corinto available on viator.com are actually Julio Tours' tours, but via Viator, you can only book a private tour. I hope to find a group to join, otherwise it is quite expensive. (We are a group of four.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adirondak camper Posted July 6, 2018 #39 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I doubt that your ship will actually stop there. https://ni.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/security-and-travel-information/ Just got a new update this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirkNC Posted July 25, 2018 #44 Share Posted July 25, 2018 We used Julio in March of 2017. It was an ok tour, we went to Leon, a market, had lunch. The problem wasn’t with the tour guide, they just don’t have a lot to see or do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pomegranate22 Posted August 4, 2018 #45 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I've indeed been following the news about the unrest in Nicaragua for a few months, and I expect that NCL will certainly cancel the port if the situation doesn't improve. I'm on the Panama Canal cruise from LA (departing Jan 27 2019). Strangely, I see that NCL has recently released a large range of ship tours for Corinto! If we don't stop in Nicaragua, my dream is that we would stop one day early in Costa Rica and then also get a stop near Panama City, but I understand that this is very unlikely. Puerto Quetzal to Puntarenas is probably too far for the ship to travel in just one night, and anyway, such a change would require a lot of advanced planning on the part of NCL. NCL never seems to stop in Panama on their full transit Panama Canal cruises (a real shame in my opinion). If Corinto is cancelled, we'll just end up with another sea day, I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
