Must see sites - Absolutely beautiful experience.
Our tour guide Windy was kind and knowledgeable. The driver was also friendly, showing us his pictures of local activities.
The sites were great, not crowded at all. We were paired with local experts at each site.

Great tour to explore El Salvador - Great site to see 2 Mayan sites, Cerro Verde (park with hike with beautiful views) and lunch overlooking the lake (absolutely stunning). Was a great tour to explore some of the beautiful sights of El Salvador. Gerson was a fantastic bilingual tour guide. I’d recommend bringing snacks or grabbing some yuca frita outside one of the ruins because if you do the Cerro Verde hike lunch will be quite late (around 3pm).

Amazing Culture & Sights With Friendly Tour Guide - My wife and I really loved this experience. The tour guide was not only very knowledgeable about the local history and geography, she was also very friendly and open. We chatted with her the whole time about a variety of topics. The car ride was comfortable and very convenient for us. I just wished we did the hike around the volcano first because the weather is usually better in the mornings (at least in August / September). But it's hard to predict the weather, and this is the rainy season. Although we got wet while hiking, we still loved the trip.

Awesome views & lots of learning - This tour was great and I feel like I learned a lot! My guides were very attentive and friendly and took lots of great photos of us. It was like going on a tour with friends. Lunch was good with a gorgeous view! It is the winter season here which means lots of rain and fog. We didn’t get the best views of the volcano but that totally was on weather and not the tour. I definitely suggest taking this tour outside of their winter season. The on-site tour guide at Tazumal is absolutely fantastic (I guess he works with this company). If you get to see him, you will be very lucky. He is super knowledgeable and friendly. He speaks English very well too. I wish he was with me at every single tour lol he was that awesome!!!

Really great - This was a GREAT tour! My best friend and I spent 3 days in El Salvador over a holiday weekend and wanted to see as much as we could while we were there. Our first night, our plans for Saturday fell through. Literally less than 12 hours before we were supposed to be picked up. Not only was I able to book with EC, but they responded on WhatsApp to confirm within an hour. Excellent and fast customer service.
Ricardo was our guide and he was excellent. Funny guy, super knowledgeable, told us about the history as well as general life and culture in El Salvador. The ruins were incredible and we learned so much! Unfortunately we didn’t get to see the volcano because of weather (it was so foggy!) but we still had a great time.
We did another EC tour the next day and that was also great. I recommend this company for tours, and I really enjoyed Ricardo as our guide.

Shout out to Joshy! - We did this tour on our first day in El Salvador. We stayed in an AirBnB and they were able to work with us on picking us up at our location.
We are so happy we did this. Joshy was our wonderful tour guide and interpreter. She is very personable and charismatic, very easy to talk to. We got lucky as it was a mostly clear enough day to see the mountains and volcanoes. We enjoyed learning about local history and visiting the Mayan sites. The restaurant we went to was delicious with beautiful scenery of the lake.

Great way to see the Archaeological sites! - The tour was very organized. Lizbeth coordinated the time of the pick up a night before. We were traveling with a 3 year old and she enjoyed a lot! Thank you EC Tours!
