Delightful Tour - Osmaro from Eco Tours Petate made this tour delightful with interesting information and fun facts. Ataco was a beautiful town full with murals, and the hot springs were a perfect ending to a day of touring.

Tour for 1 #Gordoabroad - Best tour yet! I had a great time on this tour. Little did I know that September is the slow season, so the tour bus wasn’t super packed. My tour guide Osmaro was a very knowledgeable tour guide. I was very at ease considering I was traveling alone. It was fun from the first minute. We started by visiting an older village filled with charm, some shopping and fyi visit the souvenir shops away from the others. They have lower prices. From there we went to a traditional coffee roaster and processing plant that uses methods from the 1930’s. The tour guide was incredible and very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. Coffee samples and a few bags of coffee I bought to take home. Then it was off the the thermal pools (hot springs) where it was very modern and they had changing rooms and places to eat and drink. Take a towel! Best tour yet. I recommend 100%

Fantastic experience with a passionate tour guide - Herbert was the best tour guide we’ve had all trip and the tour itself was great. We saw all the highlights of the Ruta de las Flores and the coffee tour and hot springs were great. The van was comfortable and new with AC. Herbert took the time and effort to talk about the Nahuatl language and it was clear how much he loved giving the tour. We would recommend this 100%.

Great tour! No complaints! - Osmaro was a great tour guide. He was incredibly friendly, very knowledgable of the history and answered any questions we had. He also went above and beyond and took many pictures as well as made as many stops for snacks and restroom breaks as needed.

Great tour of charming towns - Great experience. This is my first time in El Salvador after 40 years. Our guide, Herbert was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable in El Salvador history and I learned so much about my Salvadoran roots. Each town we visited had it’s own charm and Herbert was so patient and accommodating as we explored and shopped. This is a great tour if you wan to learn more about El Salvador.

Ataco, Coffee farm, Hot spring - It was a great tour with a great tour guide guy, Osmaro. I recommend this tour highly. One thing I wish I knew before the tour was visiting Hot Spring. It was such a waste of time. It does not worth it. Dirty place: Not shower and not clean restroom. Why on earth do we need a hot water in a such hot weather. We should've use our more time in Ataco town more than Hot Spring. Have this in your mind. Ataco is such an amazing town to visit.
