Awesome tour - I had an amazing tour and left feeling very information about San Salvador. I had the pleasure of being guided by Alfredo, such a wonderful person. Alfredo left no stone unturned by sharing with me about the history of San Salvador and it’s people. I loved the grandness of the churches theater, library and other national buildings. I enjoyed the drive to Santa Telca to see the volcano. Beautiful views. The lunch selection place was just right. I even got a sweet treat to celebrate my birthday. All in all I am happy I went with this tour group and would not only recommend them but I would use them again for other tours.

Personalized experience - I recently had the pleasure of traveling solo with Alfredo Diaz as my guide. Given that it was just the two of us, the experience was incredibly personalized and truly exceptional. Alfredo was knowledgeable and engaging, allowing me to delve deep into the local culture and history.

Don’t miss this tour when you visit El Salvador! - One of the best, most extensive tour I have been on. Our guide Adonis is the most amazing tour guide; he went out of his way to make us feel comfortable and for us to really enjoy getting to know San Salvador. We were busy the whole time; exploring, learning about El Salvador’s culture and history. Adonis took us to a pupuseria restaurant at lunch time and asked us if were liking the food; to make sure we were satisfied and well fed. He took us on a mini tour at one of the mercados as well. At the end of the tour I felt it was well worth the time. I recommend to book Adonis for your next tour when you visit El Salvador.

We highly recommend this tour company! - They will arrange airport transportation and their prices are very reasonable. We did two separate day tours: San Salvador, Santa Ana City, Lago de Coatepeque and then the Flower Route including Sonsonate, Nahuizalco, Juayua and Ataco towns. The library in San Salvador is spectacular! Our guide Adonis was knowledgeable, friendly and extremely accommodating in allowing us to do the tours in both Spanish and English. El Salvador is a beautiful country with friendly people, great food and extremely safe. Booking Salvadorean Tours is the best way to see this wonderful country!!

First time to El Salvador? Make sure you book THIS tour! - This was my first time to El Salvador so I booked this tour before arriving. I was picked up promptly up on time at my hotel, and my tour started without a hitch. I was the only one on tour and it felt very personal. My tour guide, Adonis, is very passionate about his country, and you can tell by the presentation of the tour. Honestly, hanging around Adonis for the day felt like we were good friends. We visited San Salvador Cathedral, Iglesia El Rosario, Plaza Libertad, and the National Palace. The library is AMAZING and a must see! Afterwards, we took in some lunch at a local spot, picked up some coffee, and headed back to my hotel for drop-off. All in all, if this is your first time to El Salvador, this is a wonderful tour to take and you have a great tour guide, as well! Adonis KNOWS his stuff! Highly recommended!
