All El Salvador Tours & Excursions in 2026

Super long day (my pick-up time was 4:20am & I was dropped off after 8pm), as others have said, but worth it! Antigua was amazing. Our time there was well-split between a 2 hour tour, followed by 2 hours of time on our own for lunch & whatever else. I’d have liked to have one more hour in Antigua, balancing the trip between 5 hours on the road, 5 hours in Antigua, and 5 hours on the return journey. But instead we got 4 hours in Antigua. The guides were respectful & professional & I’d have felt safe with them as a woman travelling alone. The van was spacious & myself and the two other tourists who signed up for this each had a row of seats to stretch out & even nap on, which made the drive easier. I also appreciated that the guides/drivers did not play loud music on the way. This made it easier to listen to podcasts and books about Guatemala on my airpods which made the journey better.

This was a moderate hike, beautiful views and a great adventure to get done in a day! It was a wonderful experience. I would recommend bringing hiking boots, or something with ankle support, as it does get quite rocky as you approach the summit. Our guide Gaby was fantastic, had to speak in both Spanish and English which was done wonderfully, and was very accommodating! Would highly recommend.

I am writing to share my recent experience during my visit to El Salvador last week, particularly lauding the exemplary service provided by my driver, Jared. His professionalism and friendliness significantly enhanced my trip and made it an extraordinarily enjoyable experience. As I was in the process of purchasing furniture for my new home, Jared proved to be an invaluable resource. He not only made thoughtful recommendations tailored to my preferences but also guided me to a reputable furniture store located in San Salvador. Moreover, he took the initiative to introduce us to a lovely shopping center and provided excellent suggestions for dining options that truly enriched our visit. I must highlight that Jared's vehicle was impeccably clean, and he exhibited a commendable level of caution while driving. His attentiveness to the road was evident, allowing me to feel secure during our travels. Additionally, his polite demeanor and proficiency in English made our interactions seamless and enjoyable, contributing to an overall positive experience. In light of this, I would strongly recommend requesting Jared for anyone planning a trip to El Salvador. His commitment to providing five-star service is truly commendable, and I believe that his dedication would enhance anyone's visit to this beautiful country. Thank you for allowing me to share my experience. Best regards, Eddie Estrada
