What are people saying about El Salvador

Marzia_C, Oct 2026

Amazing and worth it!

Amazing trip!!!! Josué was our guide and did a great hob holding the group together, even when one of the other participants was feeling sick and had to stop several times. The tour started perfectly on time as arranged on the phone the night before. The hike to the crater is easy and really doable for any average fit person in this tour, with strategic stops for pictures that allow the more tired people to breathe some extra air. It's absolutely worth it. After the walk the group is taken to a restaurant in front of Lake Coatepeque, where you can also try some jetski or just relax.

Dave was an incredible...

Dave was an incredible guide, his tour was fun and lively, he did a great job of connecting with us. We learned so much about El Salvador, drank some amazing horchata, ate pupusas, toured the capital and saw the hospital, library, cathedral, and much more. This is the tour you need to take when you visit El Salvador.

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

Kim_L, Oct 2026

Wonderful day trip from San Salvador

We were looking to spend a day outside of San Salvador after a week of working in the city and the towns along the Ruta de las Flores looked so appealing. This was the perfect day trip/getaway. The first town was 1.5 hours away and our trip back from the last town took 2 hours, but we knew that in advance and getting away was so worth it. Our driver, Iván, was excellent and we were in an extremely comfortable car. Jocelyn was our tour guide and I can’t say enough good things about her. She was extremely professional, knowledgeable, personable, and a lot of fun to spend the day with. I was surprised to learn she is a recent addition to the company, because I never would have guessed. She was a total pro and had great insights to share in answer to our questions. One of my favorite experiences was wandering through a farmer’s market and sampling whatever food and produce struck our fancy. I didn’t feel rushed and had a lot of fun. Each town we visited had its own personality and we took our time wandering around town squares, churches, gardens, and little side streets. I had originally wondered if the coffee plantation might be gimmicky, as I was born and raised in Latin American coffee country, but it ended up being one of my favorite parts of the day. The restaurant, Entre Nubes, grows and processes its own coffee. We were able to walk around for a bit among the coffee plants and learn about Salvadoran coffee varieties, which I knew nothing about. We then went to the coffee bar and sampled a few types of coffee, which were truly delicious. The restaurant is large, open, and airy, and we enjoyed some quesadilla (traditional cheesy cornbread) and plantain empanadas with our coffee, with a lovely background of live music. One thing I appreciated was that although we walked through a market that sold souvenirs, it was a side trip and I did not feel like we were being sold anything or that shopping was the main point of the trip, because it definitely was not. This was a wonderful experience and I will always be glad I got to see these places on my first trip to El Salvador. Thank you, Jocelyn and Iván! Hope to see you next time.

Excellent tour

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.

Guided ATV Tour to Malacatiupán Hot Springs

Thomas_A, Aug 2026

Excellent Excursion With A Great Company

I was the trip organizer, and they did an amazing job accommodating our group. They even brought in additional ATVs so everyone could have their own — 14 ATVs total! Communication was great throughout the entire process, and the tour itself was awesome. The scenery was beautiful, and the experience felt authentic rather than overly touristy. The food at our restaurant stop was also so good! Overall, it was a great experience and I’d definitely recommend them, especially for larger groups.

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

Joycelyn_N, Jul 2026

Amazing Experience on the Classic Ruta de las Flores Tour!

We had an incredible time on the Classic Ruta de las Flores tour with Diego. He was kind, patient, and extremely knowledgeable, sharing so much about El Salvador’s history, culture, coffee, and the beautiful towns we visited. I unfortunately became sick during the tour, and Diego was so understanding and made sure I was comfortable. His kindness and patience meant so much and allowed the rest of our family to continue enjoying the experience. To top it off, my daughter-in-law accidentally left her glasses at one of our stops. Without hesitation, Diego turned the vehicle around so we could go back and get them. That level of care and customer service is rare and truly appreciated. From the charming towns and coffee plantation to the relaxing hot springs, every stop was wonderful. Diego truly went above and beyond, and his warmth, professionalism, and genuine hospitality made the experience even more memorable. He was a wonderful ambassador for El Salvador and reflected the kindness and generosity we experienced from the people throughout our visit. If you’re visiting El Salvador, don’t miss this tour. We highly recommend it, and if you get the chance to tour with Diego, you’ll be in great hands!

Tamanique Waterfalls Complex Trek + El Tunco Beach

Yesarily_S, Jul 2026

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.

Café Albania + Ataco Town + Santa Teresa Hot Springs

Dyrisha_J, May 2026

Perfecto

Honestly I loved this activity being in El Salvador was extremely hard for me and my sister as it is a Spanish speaking country and we knew that before going but it was my birthday I’m Caribbean and want to see the world outside of just Caribbean countries. Francisco made it so we learnt about the history and seen some places that were far from the hotel at which we stayed at he took pictures and videos that were sent to us right away. All in all I would definitely recommend you to do this activity with Mr Francisco he speaks good enough English for us to have a conversation and he also speaks Spanish as well. He’s such a gentleman and has perfect manners I wish him all the best in life and hopefully he gained some clientele when I post my video on TikTok. Thank you Francisco for making my birthday so fun.

Perfect from start to finish

5 star service The day was perfectly organized. Chamba helped us a lot and there was also a second guide for hiking. The private service is excellent because it allowed us to go at our own pace. And of course the volcano and the lake are wonders of nature. Salva it also was great for the whole booking process. They provided service at the Decameron Hotel.
