Must do experience in El Salvador - This tour is a must do your when you are visiting El Salvador. Our tour guide Eduardo was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the country and took us around to the historical sites. He even pointed out some places that we passed by when traveling that were not on the itinerary. I can't recommend this enough!

Connecting with history - What an unforgettable journey! Adonis, our guide, made the day truly special with his deep knowledge and welcoming nature. His bilingual skills ensured everyone felt engaged throughout. The lunch spot in Santa Ana was a pleasant surprise, adding to the overall enjoyment. Exploring the ancient Maya ruins was truly moving, especially for those with Salvadoran heritage, offering a personal connection to our past. Despite some time constraints due to traffic, the tour was incredibly fulfilling. I only wish we had more time at each site. Nevertheless, it was a fantastic day trip that I'd eagerly do again. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a meaningful connection with history.

Excellent, safe, and worth it! - Our tour guide, Alfredo, was professional, knowledgeable, and an overall awesome person. I learned a lot about Mayan and El Salvadoran cultures and the landscape. The short hike was lovely and the restaurant meal was delicious with a beautiful view. The pictures from today will bring smiles to my face for many years. I felt very safe as a solo female traveler with limited Spanish. I cannot recommend Alfredo and our driver Ramon enough!

Incredible Tour - Incredible tour. My tour guide Adonis was highly knowledgable and gave me a one-on-one tour of San Andreas and Joya de Ceren. He also took great photos when I asked him to. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting El Salvador!

Excellent excursion - Half day tour to Mayan sites and volcanoes. The guide, Adonis, very professional and friendly, made this excursion even more pleasant. In every place I visited Adonis gave a very precise and detailed explanation of what I was about to see. I had a great time.

Amazing experience! - Alfredo was an amazing tour guide and I had a fantastic day exploring the Mayan ruins with him! I was traveling solo for a few days before meeting up with friends and signed up for this tour expecting to be on a bus with a bunch of people. Alfredo showed up in a truck and let me know he was still going to do the tour even though no one else signed up so I ended up getting a private tour of the ruins - it was incredible! This ended up being one of the highlights of my trip! Alfredo was very knowledgeable and made adjustments to the schedule to make sure to see everything that I was interested in. We ended up going to a local yucaeria for lunch and had an amazing authentic meal. He always made sure I felt comfortable and educated along the way. Overall I had an amazing experience and I highly recommend the tour! Thank you, Alfredo!
