Transportation Managua-Granada
$40 before 9 pm & $45 after 9 pm
Once you land in Nicaragua, you will be met by a Granadian taxi driver who will pick you up at the airport and will bring you directly to the school, where your host family will be expecting you since you've provided us with your flight information. In case your flight is delayed, One on One Tutoring will send you enough information to enable you to take a taxi at the airport to reassure your safe arrival to Granada.
One on One Tutoring is simply a connection between the students and the services offered by the local people and guides. The students pay directly to these people and never to the school management or staff. This way, the person offering the service (home-stay, transportation, tours etc.) feels that his or her responsibility is not only with the school but also with the student.
The first day of class, a member of your host family will walk the student to show him or her, her way around.
The cost for airport pick-up is $40 USD before 9 p.m. and $45 USD after 9 p.m. The cost is paid directly to the person offering the service.

Tourist Attractions in Granada
San Francisco Museum
The San Francisco Monastery is one of Granada's principal antiquities. It was founded in 1529 by Toribio Benevante, a Franciscan clergyman, and named the Immaculate Conception.
The museum has:
- A collection of photos of Granada taken at the end of the 1800s and the beginning of the 1900s depicting life before the advent of concrete and asphalt.
- Dioramas illustrating the daily life of the natives who lived in this area prior to the arrival of Columbus and tools and crockery uncovered from diggings around the city.
- A collection of zoomorphic statues found on the island of Zapatera where they were carved by the pre-Columbus natives between 800 and 1200 A.D.
Volcan Mombacho
This national park is located 10 kilometers outside of the city of Granada. The volcano has a height of 1400 meters and contains 700 hectares undisturbed cloud forest rich with Nicaraguan flora and fauna. There are a few trails, a small museum and restaurant at the top.
Here is the first zipline tour of Nicaragua. It's a beautiful experience between trees with an awesome view.
Laguna de Apoyo
This 48 square kilometer body of water is located a few kilometers outside of the city of Granada. It is clean, and a great place to spend a day swimming and soaking in the rays on one of the hotels or restaurants right on the shore.
It is a great place for scuba diving.
Las Isletas Tour
Las Isletas were formed when Mombacho blew it's top around 20,000 years ago. The 365 island archipelago is found in Lake Nicaragua. The islands are inhabited by a few hundred campesinos and some wealthy Nicaraguans who have built luxurious vacation homes. The islands can easily be accessed by rented boat on the shores of the lake.
