“Breathtaking! This tour is a private tour. Unlike other tours where I am grouped with other people, I was the only person on the tour. I booked the tour for later in the evening so that I could watch the sun set over the city and view the night lights. Jared picked me up at my hotel in the city and we made our way up the mountain. The scenery up the mountain was beautiful and you get glimpses of San Salvador.”
