All San Salvador Tours & Excursions in 2026

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.

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.

The best tour in San Salvador. Dave is very entertaining and educational. I'm fascinated with El Salvador. I've been to El Salvador 3 times in the last 12 months. The tour is so much fun. I've taken the tour 3 times. Once myself. My wife joined me on the second tour. My wife and brother joined me on the third. I'll be joining Dave on my fourth tour when I introduce some of my friends to the beauty of El Salvador. I think it's important to do the tour and learn about the journey of El Salvador to truly enjoy El Salvador.
