What are people saying about El Salvador

Dominic_N, Apr 2026

I had the pleasure of...

I had the pleasure of having Diego as my tour guide for the hike to ilamatepec. He was very engaging, and throughout the hike, he gave a presentation of the plants, trees, animals, history, geography, whenever we stumbled on them, which made the experience very insightful and learningful. I can only recommend this trip!

El Salvador Airport to San Salvador City or vice-versa

don_w, Apr 2026

Used them for airport...

Used them for airport pickup and back to the airport at the end of our trip. Must have walked past them at the airport, but just turned around and went through the line again and met them halfway up. Pricing similar to Uber for 2, plenty of space for a scooter my wife uses. On time for return to the aiport. Highly recommend.

San Salvador Tour: Devil’s Door, Volcano, Slide & Historic Center

Stephen_Z, Apr 2026

Amazing day with an incredible guide.

My girlfriend and I had an absolutely amazing time on this tour led by Osmaro. I was glad the tour didn’t involve a heavy amount of walking, I would say we got around 10,000 steps throughout the tour. In between the stops Osmaro showed how well versed he is with the country’s past, present and future. He answered all of our questions and the other travelers as well. He should really consider a part time gig as a photographer because he had great ideas for spots to take pictures and was always willing to take a picture for us. Incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and personable. 10/10 I would absolutely recommend this tour.

Antigua Guatemala World Heritage Site: Day Tour from San Salvador

Our tour guide JC picked us up from our hotel in San Salvador to start our tour on time. The tour guide was professional, friendly, knowledgeable and we learned a lot of history. JC took us to a restaurant for lunch called "Finca Colombia", the food was delicious and the services oustanding. When we arrived to Antigua Guatemala World Heritage Site Day we started our tour and we learned a lot of history from there, our tour guide was called Marcos in Antigua, after we finish in Antigua we come back to San Salvador on the same day with JC our tour guide, it was a long tourday but it was worth it. Highly recommend it.

Best Full Day Combo Tour: Volcanoes, Lake and Mayan Sites

Valorri_B, Mar 2026

The BEST tour

Number one piece of advice, ask for Alfredo. We were immersed into El Salvador history and culture throughout the entire tour and we left having a greater appreciation for the area. The views were fantastic, with amazing picturesque stops. The hiking was great, the tour provided ample opportunities to stop and appreciate nature around us, and the food was delicious. You will have the opportunity to buy souvenirs at each location so bring cash! Also, bring comfy shoes, snacks and a bottle of water for the walking and time on the bus.

Full Day Tour: Copan Ruins, an Amazing Mayan Site

Cesario_B, Mar 2026

Well Organized Copán Trip with a Fantastic Guide

Great overall experience on the Copán trip. It’s a long journey, but everything was smooth and well organized. Gaby was an excellent guide, very friendly and knowledgeable, and she really made the trip enjoyable. The ruins were interesting, though not the most spectacular we’ve seen, but still worth visiting.

Café Albania + Ataco Town + Santa Teresa Hot Springs

Angie_S, Mar 2026

If travel memories were currency, Diego just made us wildly rich. 🌎✨

We had Diego as a tour guide. From the moment we met him, it felt less like a tour and more like being shown around by a friend who knows all the hidden gems. He took us to Café Albania, and let’s just say… the views alone deserve their own postcard series. Absolutely breathtaking. Then came Taco Town, where the food hit exactly the way it should after an adventure—flavor-packed, authentic, and unforgettable. But the real adrenaline chapter? The ATV ride. Mud, laughs, insane scenery—it was the kind of experience that makes you feel alive in all caps. Diego made sure we felt safe the whole time while still letting us have that full-on adventure energy. And just when we thought it couldn’t get better… the hot springs. Pure relaxation mode unlocked. The perfect ending to a perfectly curated day. Diego is knowledgeable, patient, fun, and clearly passionate about what he does. He didn’t just guide us—he elevated the entire experience. If you’re even thinking about booking a tour, stop thinking and just ask for Diego. Trust me, your future memories will thank you. 🙌

Discover the Best of San Salvador with Dave

Stacey_M, Mar 2026

Awesome tour with Dave

We chose to do this tour because of all of the positive reviews and recommendations we’ve read about, and it did not disappoint! Dave is a great storyteller and he loves his country. That comes through on this tour, and it makes you appreciate San Salvador even more! Dave was so animated and taught us so much about the history, educational system, economy, and culture of El Salvador. He really made the tour come alive with his vibrant and enthusiastic personality.

Santa Ana Volcano Early Morning Hike

MENDYK_H, Feb 2026

Great Hike, however.....

What can I say? Or rather where should I start? 😊 My hubby and I were picked up on time by Pablo, who was our tour guide as well as our driver. Pablo speaks great English. Pablo was very engaging, friendly, funny, kind, considerate and most importantly: patient. This hike was no joke! If you are not in shape/don't really do any physical activity, you will not survive this hike! I walk approximately 2 miles every morning and 5 miles on the weekends. This hike kicked my butt! I wanted to give up, but Pablo was amazing! Once you reach to the top, the view is amazing and Pablo will take photos/videos for you. Please be advised that the incline going up is no joke! The descent is also somewhat strenuous! Please wear proper shoes! Bring water, hat, sunglasses. This hike is not for the weak! Thank goodness for Pablo and local guide Christina. Am I glad I did the hike? Yes. Would I do it again? Most definitely not! Lol!

Fun Walking Tour of San Salvador's Historic Center

Siya_M, Jan 2026

A wonderful and cultural experience!

This was a wonderful and cultural experience. I highly recommend taking this tour where you will experience so much of San Salvador's Historic District just as advertised. I want to thank Carlos our tour guide who was so wonderful, friendly and knowledgeable. I must have asked 100 questions and he answered everyone with so much passion and detail. Thank you for making it a wonderful experience.
