Loved, loved - I loved, loved my tour with Josué. Josué is very knowledgeable and has such a great personality. As we embarked on the journey to Rita de las Flores. I enjoyed my time at Concepcion de Ataco and its small town feel. My time in Nahuizalco was special as I learned about the country’s history. This was my first time at a hotspring and Termales de Santa Teresa, there are so many pools to choose from. My favorite part of the tour was the coffee tour at El Carmen Estate and the lunch selection. I was able to try traditional Salvadoran foods. All in all I am happy I went with this tour group and would not only recommend them but I would use them again for other tours.

Fantastic Tour with the Best Guide - My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed the Ruta de las Flores tour with our guide Josué. He was very informative and we could tell how much he loves his job and his beautiful country. We learned a lot about El Salvador’s history, education system, politics, economics, and we gained appreciation for the heritage preserved in the towns along the Ruta de las Flores. On top of that, Josué made sure we experienced the things we would not experience elsewhere such as buying us pupusas made of yucca and fitting in an extra stop at Cafe Albania for the big rainbow slide and other fun rides. We had plenty of time to bask in the hot springs as well. I also appreciated that Josué takes awesome insta-worthy pictures and is on time! We had a wonderful time and the tour was truly worth it and extra. We ended up booking with the same company and guide for the volcano hike because we had such a great time with them. Thank you, Josué!

Favorite part of the vacation so far. - I loved everything about this tour. The towns were all very beautiful and the people were super friendly. You should definitely pick up some fresh produce from the markets. Everything is so fresh and flavorful. The coffee plantation tour gave me a renewed respect for coffee and the farmers that produce it. Best tasting coffee I've ever had. The hot springs were fantastic, I would highly recommend the volcanic mud spa treatment, it made my skin feel incredible. We had lunch at the hot springs, and it was delicious. Our tour guide, Gab was knowledgeable, friendly, and a great driver. Would recommend anyone visiting to take this tour. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Highly recommend for your first time in El Salvador - Gab was an absolutely amazing tour guide. She taught us so much about the history of El Salvador and the local foods. She is a great driver and translator. I felt comfortable and safe everywhere we went. I highly recommend any tour with El Salvador Positive Tours that takes you to Rutas de las Flores and the hot springs. The coffee tour was nice and very informative, too. I loved getting to shop for souvenirs made by the locals and every vender was so appreciative of our support.

An Excellent, Well-Rounded Tour - I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. It was nice visiting the church, museum, and school. I really loved viewing the colorful murals throughout the various towns. The coffee tour was very good. I have attended other coffee tours in the world, but none walked us through each process step by step. It was fascinating. The hot springs were relaxing, and the food at the restaurant there was good; I only wish I had more time there. Gaby was an excellent tour guide, as she provided detailed historical and cultural information. The pace of the tour was adequate. I highly recommend this tour!
