Mark_C, Sept 2026

Super fun. You should do it

This tour was really fun and enjoyable. It was just my wife and i on the trip so we were able to change up the itinerary and hit the beach because we had seen some other things during a previous tour. Osmaro was great. He is very knowledgeable and fun. We had a great time talking with him during the trip. You should go on this tour.

Copan Ruins: Explore the Ancient Mayan Kingdom from San Salvador

allan_m, Sept 2026

Wonderful trip and tour

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.

Best Day Tour: Santa Ana Volcano Hiking + Lake Coatepeque

Anuja_S, Sept 2026

The hike is moderate so...

The hike is moderate so definitely be prepared with good shoes, water and sunscreen! The tour guides were good about keeping up with your pace and slowing down if you needed it! Moises was our guide and he was very patient and knowledgeable about El Salvador’s topography and history. The view from the top of the volcano was amazing and definitely worth the hike!

Great day hiking Santa...

Great day hiking Santa Ana volcano. View at the top was spectacular. Our driver Herbert was on schedule, professional and shared lots of info about El Salvador. Our guide for the hike was Garbriel and he was fantastic. We also learned so many things about the history of El Salvador, volcanos, birds and vegetation. Their English was impressive. I definitely recommand this tour.

Maya Route Tour: El Salvador Mayan Sites including Joya de Cerén

Katrena_K, Aug 2026

A Top Tier Experience

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.

El Salvador's Best Storyteller

Dave is a gem who loves his country. His storytelling is superb and the tour was great! His unique experience with the complex history of el salvador makes the tour feel rich and genuine. Dave is also well known in the city. Many times we'd randomly pass by someone Dave knows lol.

Day Tour : Antigua Guatemala UNESCO Site - From San Salvador City

Lauren_G, Jul 2026

This was a fantastic day...

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!

Ruta de Las Flores, Visit 4 Colonial Towns and Coffee Farm

Helen_M, Jun 2026

Good tour with Josep!

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.

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. 🙌

Nick_Z, Feb 2026

Great experience!

The tour was great! Salva was the guide we got and from the driving to the tour itself he made it a great time, comfortable and informative. Every place you visit is worth it and we had plenty of time for each activity/place and got to have a nice lunch along with time to be able shop for things. I would recommend it

Tamanique Waterfalls Complex Trek + El Tunco Beach

Curtis_T, Jan 2026

Well worth the hike!!!

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.

Classic Ruta de las Flores: Towns, Coffee Tour & Hot Springs

Angie_K, Nov 2025

Excellent tour due to our awesome tour guide Josue!

Josue was incredible. He was very enthusiastic about informing us about the history of El Salvador, in addition to how the current healthcare and education systems work. But most importantly, he always made sure we had a good time. He snuck in a trip to Cafe Albania in Apaneca for us though it technically wasn't on the agenda. We got to ride the bicycles in the air and go down the rainbow slides. So fun! Also, in the markets of Nahuizalco, he bought pupusas made of yuca as well as other delicious foods and fruits for us to try. And he drove us to our hotel despite it being much out of the way of the city. Always patient and making sure we had a good time, Josue was friendly, respectful, and so knowledgeable. He was absolutely fantastic and made this tour well worth it!
