San Salvador: A trip that would not have been possible just a few short years ago. - My son and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. This was our first adventure to El Salvador. Dave was very knowledgeable and engaging and answered all questions from our group along the way. He holds your attention as he explains the history of the country and the political climate and initiatives that have fostered a marked turnaround for the country. He also provides his personal experiences for context. Touring the park, central markets, historic district, and cathedrals was exciting. While in the area, we tried Horchata and Papusa's, which were delicious. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting for the first time.

Make this your day 1 tour - Dave (and his son Dave) provided the perfect tour for our first full day in El Salvador. Coming from the U.S. we had our apprehensions and misconceptions. Dave provided us a condensed, detailed, and personal account of the history of El Salvador, San Salvador, and where the country is going today. He set the tone for the rest of the tour and truly opened our eyes to the beauty, wonder, and resilience of the people of El Salvador. I'd recommend this tour to anyone traveling and who may need a primer on the country, its capital and the people who call it home.

Great experience with Dave and his son David - Great tour, can only recommend it. Dave was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about El Salvador and San Salvador. You could feel how much he enjoyed sharing his stories and the change in the country the people of El Salvador have experienced. Saw very nice spots in the city.
