Convenience sight seeing - There is a museum at each site but I found the experience of having the information spoon fed to you much better. You don't spend that much time at each site, but I never felt rushed. The convenience of the shuttle is also unparalleled.

An amazing way to spend the day - The experience was amazing. Our tour guide Alfredo Diaz was excellent. He was knowledgeable in everything he spoke about. He provided excellent information in both English and Spanish and was able to provide insight into the history of El Salvador. He was patient with us and always willing to help with pictures and recommendations.

It felt perfectly personal tour! - My wife and I was met at our hotel by Mr Alfredo Diaz on time. I thought we were going with a group, but turned out just being my wife and I. Alfredo was very knowledgeable and we didn't feel rushed through out the tours. It was awesome that he is bilingual. He answered our questions. The trip felt very personalized. Highly recommended.

Enjoy Some History - This is a great experience and good value in general. I would recommend to the operators to only do one language at a time to increase the speed of the tour. Our guide who was great was doing multiple languages which means double the time in each area. I would give 5 stars if not for that. Still a great learning experience and good tour in general though.
