Great Tour & Guide - The tour was very well organised. Fernando was absolutely amazing with his historical facts about Salvador, the volcanos and also things to do in Salvador. He was prompt on time for pickup and also took great care of us. The hike up the volcano was challenging but worth it.

BEST TOUR & TOUR GUIDE - Fernando was amazing! More than what was expected. He was punctual with the pick up location and brought snacks & coffee. On the way to the Volcano he told us many facts & history of El Salvador. He was attentive and informative. The hike up to the summit was an adventure but so much fun because Fernando had us laughing the entire time. We felt accomplished when we reached the top because the view was amazing! I would go on any tour with Fernando again! Felt safe at all times.

Fernando was the perfect... - Fernando was the perfect guide. He arrived to our hotel early with coffee and snacks which was so nice. He made sure we had water and that the hike was going at a comfortable pace. We are fast hikers and he was happy to go fast with us, but we really appreciated him checking in on us. He also knew the best picture spots and took some great photos of us. His thoughtfulness continued to show all day - on the way to the lake, he stopped to get us pupusas since we hadn’t tried them yet.
Sometimes it can be awkward hanging out with a stranger all day but it felt like spending the day with a good friend. He was very knowledge about El Salvador and other Central American countries. We would recommend him to anyone visiting the country, and we were so disappointed to have only found him on our last day. We would have booked several more tours with him!

Find Fernando! - Fernando was a fantastic guide...he was willing to work with my schedule (coming straight from the airport!) and drop off (heading to Ruta de las Flores). He is very in tune with different cultures and shared a lot about current events and populous opinion of the Salvadorian. The hike up the volcano went without a hitch, he picked a pace that worked for us, took great photos for us, and even treated us to a popsicle. We ate lunch at a mirador for the lake (food and bev not included) and helped us find the bus terminal and bus number in Santa Ana.

Fernando is the BEST! - Fernando led our group of eight on the hike to the top of Volcan Santa Ana. Fernando was conscientious of all different levels of hikers ... he is very considerate, helpful, and fun. If you want a great guide get Fernando :)
