Fun tour! - I had such a great time visiting Ruta de Las Flores such a beautiful quaint town. Gerson is a very knowledgeable tour guide; he knows the history well and I learned a ton from him. Walter was our driver and he made me feel safe and secure, especially since we were driving during a tropical storm! They make a great team. Gerson needs to practice his picture taking skills, but responds well to instruction lol. Great tour, very professional, and showed up on time!

Adventure Outing - Went on this full day adventure to the colorful small towns of El Salvador. One of the best days because a highlight is a stop at the Albania Cafe for the adrenaline minded folks. With me we're guide Lisbeth and driver Alessandro. They were fantastic. They made freq stops along viewpoint and never felt rushed or prodded along. Without a doubt the best day with the best combo guide driver.

Exciting and Educational - This is an excellent tour for anyone wanting to learn more about the history of El Salvador, and get out of the hustle and bustle of San Salvador for a day. Our tour guide, Wendy, was very delightful and well educated on all the spots we visited. Our driver Walter was equally a delight and very insightful as well. We visited four main locations: three different colonial/indigenous towns, as well as the restaurant we ate lunch and experienced the coffee tasting. Each town was unique for its own reason, with craft markets and cathedrals, that Wendy can tell you all about. They paced the tour very well, allowing us the time to explore the craft markets and towns and pick out a few souvenirs to our liking. Prices in all the towns and restaurant are very reasonable. The restaurant they select for the tour is called: Entre Nubes. It is the perfect location. It has a beautiful jungle garden you can explore while waiting for your food and a rich atmosphere. The employee they have provide the coffee tasting from the restaurant is very nice and well informed, and can provide the coffee tasting experience in English or Spanish. I would highly recommend this for anyone wanting to experience a wonderful day learning about the history and culture along the Ruta de Flores!

Highly recommended - Absolutely wonderful. We only had 2 full days to explore San Salvador. Tour company communicated well a few days before the trip began. Wendy, our tour guide, was super nice and knowledgable. I highly recommend this tour company.

Great experience! - We were given a private tour with Wendy and William. These two made a great team and took us to amazing places around El Salvador. We learned a lot about the country and the people. They were on time to pick us up. They were friendly. We would definitely recommend Wendy and William for this tour company! We signed up last minute the day prior on Viator app and was booked. Thank you.

Do it and you won’t regret it - This was the best excursion we went on the entire trip to El Salvador. Honestly, it would not have been the same with Jocelyn - she was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone was able to stop to shop, eat food, or go to the bathroom no matter when or where we were in the tour.

A lot of history - The tour was beautiful. So much history and I learned so much about my background. I felt truly blessed to be guided on this tour. Joshy and Cesar were my guides and we had an amazing time. Lunch was delicious and the coffee tasting was great. So much to see and so much to do. I also made an additional stop to Cafe Albania and did the Pendulum and the Bicycle. After lunch, we stopped at the Santa Teresa termales. Joshy and Cesar made me feel so comfortable and it felt like I was with friends.

Ruta de las Flores - We had a wonderful time on this tour with Melissa and our driver William. Melissa was amazing. She was sweet, patient and very knowledgeable. We learned so much about the little towns we visited. We went at our own pace. We were able to eat at the food market they had in Juayua. The coffee farm is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen! We loved everything about this tour. Thank you !
