Testimonials
Joel,
You were a true blessing to our entire group, and made our trip much
more enjoyable. I am confident that we would not have been able to get
around and do as much as we did without your services. The examples are
numerous where I was personally very thankful you were there to help
translate, get us to our destination on time or simply educate us as to
what we were seeing and experiencing in Nicaragua. Thanks for being so
patient and professional in everything you did, and I look forward to
working with you again on our next visit.

I am going back to Nicaragua, for my sixth trip in February of 2009,
to work on a building project with my church. We use Joel Estrada with
Nica Style Tours on every trip we take. Joel is the most helpful
and knowledgeable tour guide we have found to ensure we get the most
from our trip. I feel very safe and confident when Joel is leading us,
because he knows all of the great attractions and the more secluded
spots that you can’t find in a tour book.
Joel can help with every aspect of your trip from exchanging currency,
accommodation, transportation, translation, finding the best restaurants
and cafes, enabling you to relax and enjoy your trip. I have gotten to
know Joel so well over the years that I consider him a great friend and
we stay in touch even while living so far apart. I highly recommend Nica
Style Tours for their professionalism, integrity, and passion for the
people and unbridled beauty of Nicaragua.

"Joel Estrada was prompt and courteous. He also entertained our
entire group with interesting facts about the history of the area
throughout our journey.
We were delighted with the immaculate condition of our vehicle and with
Joel's confidence navigating the streets of Managua. He is clearly
someone who prides himself on delivering excellent service to each and
every one of his customers."

Having been to Nicaragua three times with mission teams from my church, each trip personally guided by Joel, I heartily recommend his services to anyone traveling there. His knowledge of the country, culture, and people helped enable our teams to exceed our mission goals. Starting his own tour business was inevitable. I just hope he has time to assist our Nicaragua teams in the future!

When I first begin traveling out of the country almost 20 years ago and now today some things have not changed. The question and concerns are always:
1. Safety
2. Navigating/transportation in a foreign land
3. What will my costs be (will I get the best price) and
4. How will I communicate in a country that does not speak my language?
When traveling to Nicaragua over the last few years I have been able to answer these questions with confidence in one person…Joel with Nica Style Tours. In my trips I have mixed purpose; adventure, work and play. I have brought friends, family, co-workers and my son. Joel is able to serve as my guide, my translator, my navigator, my transportation and keeps safety at the top of his list. Not to mention I know he is able to get me the best prices with everything and everywhere we go because he knows the place inside and out. When you hire Nica Style Tours you are getting 4 for the price of one! And last, although Joel is Nicaraguan and a person of integrity and is the perfect solution to all my top concerns and needs while traveling out of the USA; he has lived in the western culture for a couple of years and understands the westerners and all our creature comforts and concerns!
Thanks Joel and Nica Style Tours!

"It was a great experience to work with Joel as our tour guide and interpreter. Joel has a great heart for Christ and believes in helping better his country. The next time I go to Nicaragua, I will meet up with Joel and utilize his services. I guess that would make me a repeat offender!"

I have traveled to Nicaragua as part of mission teams the past two years and Joel has been our tour guide both times. He is a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable and made sure all of our needs were met. He was also instrumental in helping us secure resources for our building projects. He is an excellent driver and got us around safe and secure. In addition, Joel has a great sense of humor and is a really nice guy!
I am bringing my family back next year and have already reserved Joel and Nica Style Tours. I would highly recommend Nica Style Tours to anyone traveling in Nicaragua.

I have known Joel for about three years and have spent many hours with him and he has always shown himself to be an honest hardworking young man. It is my opinion that he is trustworthy, well spoken in English and would make a fine tour guide. I feel comfortable in highly recommending him to manage this business.

I am currently planning a trip to Nicaragua for February of 2009 and am extremely comfortable and relaxed knowing that Joel will be there to meet us and make our visit fantastic, enjoyable and safe. This will be my 5th trip to Nicaragua and each trip has included Joel working with us. Joel acts as more than just an interpreter, he is your liaison to the people and culture of his country. Whenever there is a question while in country, we have an instant response, “Ask Joel”.
