All San Salvador Tours & Excursions in 2026

Weather was perfect and our tour guide (Diego) was amazing. Very knowledgeable and kind, even allowed us to do a pig stop on the way back. The hike was tough, definitely underestimated, even reading the reviews felt like it wouldn’t be too bad. The elevation was high and steep with a lot of rocks. Worth it at the top and even the views midway but wear comfortable shoes, bring water, a small jacket because it’s cold but you will eventually take it off from the sweat you get from hiking. Overall would recommend if you are able to make it to the top.

Francisco was a complete pleasure and knowledgeable of the laws crossing through the borders of the countries. As the drive was long, Francisco would offer any stops needed for refreshments or bathrooms. Our tour guide Jovanni was extremely knowledgeable about the site itself and others found in Central America. He offered guides in both Spanish and English. We would happily book again.

This was another great tour, my 4th on the trip. The driver, Jorge, was on time and provided great conversation during the highway rides. The guide was also great; he provided context and history that enriched the overall experience. The Mayan ruins were amazing and I have memories that will last a lifetime. The restaurant served excellent food, and the view of the volcano lake is unlikely anything I have previously seen. Lastly, the Cerro Verde nature hike was a cool (temperature) break and was the perfect way to end my trip.

We had an exceptional day with Raúl (tour guide) and Omar (driver). My husband and I travelled together, and the total number of people on tour was 8. It was an air conditioned micro bus which was very comfortable and spacious. There was a minor issue that led to us leaving a little behind schedule, but we were able to make up the time and not miss anything. We paid a minimal fee for pickup at our hotel in the Escalon area. Raúl has an extensive knowledge of both contemporary and Mesoamerica history. He also knows a lot about flora and fauna, which we appreciated. He gave excellent recommendations about many things both in San Salvador and beyond. We would absolutely do this tour again, and trust Raúl and Omar to take us anywhere! There is also great customer service from Salvadorean Tours and they messaged us immediately with information preparing us for the tour. Overall, a 10/10 experience from top to bottom.

This was a fantastic day in Antigua. Our driver, Francisco was incredibly kind and patient. We got stuck in some traffic on the way home due to an accident and he kept his calm. Our guide, Manuel, in Antigua, was also so charming and you could feel how much he cares about the city. The border was smooth and quick. I would highly recommend!

This was a good tour! Josep was very friendly and knowledge. It was nice visiting the cities and coffee farm. The coffee farm is more of a restaurant/cafe where we tasted coffee, and we then did a little nature walk where we passed coffee plants. The colonial cities were cool to see and it was nice to be given some free time to explore and shop.

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. 🙌

The hike down to the waterfalls is intense. So wear proper shoes. But once you get to the falls, its well worth the hike. It was about a 45min hike down. Going back up was super intense. Those mountains are super steep. But our tour guide Diego was extremely patient and friendly with us. El Tunco beach was beautiful and there are plenty of places to eat, drink, and shop.
