My heart erupted with joy and fun!
What an AMAZING day. Francis (driver) and Josue (tour guide) where fantastic. I did this tour as a solo female traveler and could not have felt more safe. I was picked up at my hotel and after a brief stop to grab any food/drinks we wanted, we went to the volcano.
Throughout the ride, Josue took the time to tell us about his country's history and current day facts. He also told us what to expect for the day ahead. He spoke in both English and Spanish for all of the participants.
The first part of the volcano was HARD. My breathing was terrible trying to adjust to the altitude. After about 45 minutes and a few stops, it got better. Josue made sure everyone in our group was keeping pace and stopping as needed. We all made it to the TOP. The ascent took about 2.5 hours.... *Please note that this trip requires you be physically fit/able to truly hike*
It was cloudy and we couldn't see the crater but then all of a sudden the clouds went away and WHAT A SIGHT! Absolutely stunning. We stayed taking pictures and eating popsicles for about 40 minutes before descending back down. The way down took about 1.5 hours maybe....
Then we went to Lago de Coatepeque. The views and food at the restaurant were great. I was able to order my food and then rent a jetski from a different vendor (not a part of this tour). So much fun!!!!
Josue was a great guide and I highly recommend this trip with him.

Great tour!
Great tour! I had a lot of fun on this trip and would definitely recommend it. My tour guide Alfredo was super kind and helpful, and all the archeological sites are super interesting. The hike up the volcano is also super fun, but definitely make sure you are wearing appropriate shoes and clothes.

Great tour, make sure to check!
Great tour! Everyone was super nice and communicated very well, it was super easy getting through all the borders, and the drive wasn’t bad at all. Lots of opportunities to see new things and meet new people. Definitely a long day though, left at 04:30am and returned at 8:00pm. Need room for 6-8 new passport stamps. Definitely communicate with them and check if your trip will be going, as my trip was scheduled for a Tuesday, and on the Saturday before I messages then to check if my tour would be going, as they will cancel the night before if you are the only person on the tour that day, and they told me I was the only person booked for the Tuesday, so I was able to be moved to the Monday instead on a day the tour was already confirmed to be going.

Professional and informative with food and food for thought
Dave is very professional yet entertaining and informative, covering many topics from history to politics to education system and economy. With 20 people in the group, it was still personalised enough to ask questions and the pace was slow with lots of stops. Even so there were options offered to purchase authentic El Salvadorian food and drink at various stops as part of the experience, there was never a hard sell or push. We enjoyed the walk immensely and loved all the food for thought. 😃

Great experience!
We made a day long custom trip to visit various ruins with a dropoff at a location a few hours from the pickup site. Our driver Cristian was great and the vehicle was very nice. Communication was good prior to the trip and we felt well cared for the entire day! We would definitely use this agency again.

Amazing Tour Experience
I had such a great time on this tour. Arely our tour guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and made every stop feel meaningful. You could tell Arely really cared about creating a memorable experience for everyone. Belis our driver was just as impressive — safe, smooth driving the entire way and such a friendly presence.
The two of them worked so well together that the whole day felt effortless. I left with new memories, fun stories, and a deeper appreciation for the places we visited. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a well-organized, enjoyable, and stress-free experience.
Gracias Arely!!!

Beautiful, must do all day tour!
An AMAZING full day tour with Josue! He was very informative and the communication from pick up to drop off was great. All admissions were included and details were accurate in the description. Josue was patient with us all in the crazy traffic and took sooooo many pictures and videos of my friends and I. Cafe Albania was fun - and quick lines even when crowded & hot springs were clean and quiet. Beautiful experience and DELICIOUS food!

Herbert was absolutely...
Herbert was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we met him, he was warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable. Since it was just the him and two of us, the tour felt like a truly special, personalized experience. His deep understanding of the history of El Salvador brought every stop to life with fascinating stories, context, and insight. He answered all our questions with ease, shared thoughtful perspectives, and made complex history engaging and easy to follow. On top of it all, Herbert was so much fun and made the entire tour unforgettable. We couldn’t recommend him more highly!

Felt like a Local!
My mom and I had a wonderful time on this tour with Osmaro. He made it a very enjoyable experience. Despite some traffic, we still were able to do everything on the itinerary without it feeling rushed. He even took us to a spot where the locals eat, which made the experience even more authentic (the food was delicious by the way). I 100% recommend this tour if you're in El Salvador!

We had an absolutely incredible walking tour of San Salvador with our guide, Carlos. From the moment the tour began, Carlos brought the city to life with his deep knowledge, thoughtful storytelling, and genuine passion for El Salvador’s history and culture.
He answered every question we had and we had a lot! Carlos answered with patience and so much insight. You can tell he truly loves what he does and cares about giving visitors an authentic and meaningful experience. We walked away with a richer understanding of the city and a new appreciation for its beauty and complexity.
If you’re visiting San Salvador, do yourself a favor and book a tour with Carlos. It was one of the highlights of our trip!

Would definitely recommend
We had a lovely day doing this tour. Rosa, our guide, was so friendly and informative and explained so much about the history of the places we were visiting.
Cafe Albania was so fun and I loved that this tour included 3 activities there so we really got to experience the place.

Awesome tour of the Mayan ruins of El Salvador!!
A great tour of the Mayan ruins of El Salvador! Our guide/driver, Adonis, was very knowledgeable and provided those on our tour with much information on the sites we visited. In addition to being a wonderful, informative guide, he was also an excellent driver!

The capital of the small country of El Salvador, San Salvador is a perfect jumping-off point for exploring the country. Scale Santa Ana Peak, the country’s tallest mountain and an active volcano; border-hop into nearby Honduras for the ruins of Copan, some of the world's best-preserved Maya ruins; or follow the Ruta de las Flores, a path that features incredible biodiversity and indigenous culture. San Salvador tours are the way to see the country and region in all its complexity.
