Osmaro was a great tour...

Osmaro was a great tour guide, dynamic and knowledgeable. He made us feel well cared for and since it was just myself and my mother on the tour that day, he was accommodating and changed the itinerary around so we could visit the National Bontanical Garden that wasn't in the original plan and he took us to a scenic spot to eat some delicious pupusas which was great. He also took the best pictures which will serve as wonderful memories of our time in El Salvador. Highly recommend this tour and I promise you will leave more than satisfied!

Great experience with Josué!

Josué was a wonderful tour guide! Very knowledgeable and friendly. Great communication prior to and throughout the hike, pickup was exactly on time. We left early to beat the clouds and rain and it worked out beautifully, and we also managed to be descending just as the crowds were starting to ascend. It was me, Josué, and another girl that was also traveling solo. We all had a great experience! Also, be sure to have an ice cream at the top! Would definitely recommend Josué and booking with this company!

Copan Ruins: Explore the Ancient Mayan Kingdom from San Salvador

Allison_M, Oct 2026

Francisco is the BEST GUIDE

It is a very long day of driving but if you have a professional driver, like Francisco, you will see the drive as part of the adventure. The other important thing is to really be interested in Mayan ruins. Copan is awe inspiring & the amazing guide we had there, Gladys, filled our senses with the intense history of the site, deep explanation of the intricate carvings, Mayan culture and archaeological history - woven in and amongst stories that link the past and the present. Francisco, our expert driver, was so polite, kind and knew how to handle the multiple border crossings with ease. We felt so safe with him & that was of paramount importance. It's an all-day adventure unlike anything we've done, plus we were driven through the bottom third of Guatemala & to take in the differences between El Salvador and Guatemala was so fascinating. Highly recommend if you are into Mayan culture and ruins. Copan is truly one of a kind.

Wonderful Experience

Amazing adventure. Francisco is an absolute pleasure to travel with. He is highly recommended, punctual and knowledgeable driving you through the country. Manuel is an expert on not just the city but the country as well. Manuel recommends the best places for food, cultural knowledge and authentic souvenirs. To anyone considering visiting parts of Guatemala: I highly recommend this trip and would gladly go again.

The guides (we had 3)...

The guides (we had 3) were so knowledgeable and shared the history of El Salvador in 3 phases. We had a great appreciation of the country’s history and how it progressed to present day. The guides gave us ample time for pictures also made sure to alway asked if we have any questions. Love the pace on this tour which was relaxing and informative. The walk to a traditional market was great in allowing us to experience the daily life of the locals and we got to eat some local food. Highly recommend to join this tour!

Marilyn and Gerber were the best tour guides!

Best tour ever! Marilyn and Gerber were on time, kept us informed throughout the entire trip, and made the experience so exciting. I travel solo, and they made me feel very comfortable and welcome.

Good non strenuous way to see volcanoes

Good non strenuous way to site may landscape sites in San salvadore area. Still Expect 4 hours of driving due to traffic but a good amount of time spent at Mayan sites with great historical detail provided by our guide Adonis who was a great guide. Good views of volcanos, although they are distant views so be prepared (we knew this but some don’t realise).

Wonderful Experience

This was the most seamless and wonderful experience. Fernando was waiting for me at the arrivals holding a placard with my name. He assisted with my luggage and provided a very safe and comfortable riding experience. I highly recommend and will use again on my future work trips. Thank you!!

Challenging but fun

Gaby was our tour guide. At the waterfall Freddy Joined us as a guide as well. They were both great. Gaby was very nice. It was a VERY challenging tour though!! The way down and up from the waterfall are so hard. I don’t know if the volcano or this one was hard. There’s no breeze and you sweat like if you were in a Sauna. The good thing is that the water is cold. Tunco was fun and had a couple of streets to walk. I actually liked their souvenirs way than the stores and markets I went to. I would suggest buying them there. The tour was fun but I would never do it again as it’s physically very challenging.

Chamba was super friendly...

Chamba was super friendly and an amazing tour guide! He took us through the entire tour while sharing detailed background and history about each place we visited. He recommended the best local shops if we wanted to buy souvenirs, as well as the best places for coffee and pupusas. His knowledge, attention to detail, and positive attitude made the experience even more enjoyable. We truly appreciated his excellent service and highly recommend him!
