Long but worth it to see Antigua!
Super long day (my pick-up time was 4:20am & I was dropped off after 8pm), as others have said, but worth it! Antigua was amazing. Our time there was well-split between a 2 hour tour, followed by 2 hours of time on our own for lunch & whatever else. I’d have liked to have one more hour in Antigua, balancing the trip between 5 hours on the road, 5 hours in Antigua, and 5 hours on the return journey. But instead we got 4 hours in Antigua.
The guides were respectful & professional & I’d have felt safe with them as a woman travelling alone. The van was spacious & myself and the two other tourists who signed up for this each had a row of seats to stretch out & even nap on, which made the drive easier. I also appreciated that the guides/drivers did not play loud music on the way. This made it easier to listen to podcasts and books about Guatemala on my airpods which made the journey better.

Unforgettable field trip to Santa Ana Volcano.
Very responsible guide, Josué Romero never let me behind even when I was the slowest walker, clear explanation about how to expect in the trip, brief history of volcanos in El Salvador and the country history. Good transportation and driver Ivan did a nice job.

5 stars all the way
Dave was great! Vibrant personality, personal touch getting to know all of his tour group! One of the best walking tours we have been on! El Salvador is an amazing country and Dave sure highlighted it well! Thank you for your passion, hospitality and great humour! Mucho love from Canada ! Haha - Kim & Ian

Amazing day with an incredible guide.
My girlfriend and I had an absolutely amazing time on this tour led by Osmaro. I was glad the tour didn’t involve a heavy amount of walking, I would say we got around 10,000 steps throughout the tour. In between the stops Osmaro showed how well versed he is with the country’s past, present and future. He answered all of our questions and the other travelers as well. He should really consider a part time gig as a photographer because he had great ideas for spots to take pictures and was always willing to take a picture for us. Incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and personable. 10/10 I would absolutely recommend this tour.

Cafe Albania bike Zipline, Rainbow Slide, Wings Swing, Santa teresa Hotsprings
Our tour guide Lizbeth picked us up from our hotel to start our tour on time. The tour guide was knowledge, professional and we learned a lot of history. The rainbow slide/bike zipline/wings swing were super fun. The Santa Teresa Hotsprings were awesome and relaxing. Our lunch was delicious at La Parilla De Lenha with typical food from El Salvador. highly recommend it.

The BEST tour
Number one piece of advice, ask for Alfredo. We were immersed into El Salvador history and culture throughout the entire tour and we left having a greater appreciation for the area.
The views were fantastic, with amazing picturesque stops. The hiking was great, the tour provided ample opportunities to stop and appreciate nature around us, and the food was delicious.
You will have the opportunity to buy souvenirs at each location so bring cash! Also, bring comfy shoes, snacks and a bottle of water for the walking and time on the bus.

Awesome
I had the best time of my life. group was small and all American like my self. Our guide Arely was awesome, there was never a rush to the next destination. Cover over 5 different places. I enjoyed all of them. EC tours El Salvador are the best. Professional on time and so accommodating. Thank you

Great tour, make sure to check!
Great tour! Everyone was super nice and communicated very well, it was super easy getting through all the borders, and the drive wasn’t bad at all. Lots of opportunities to see new things and meet new people. Definitely a long day though, left at 04:30am and returned at 8:00pm. Need room for 6-8 new passport stamps. Definitely communicate with them and check if your trip will be going, as my trip was scheduled for a Tuesday, and on the Saturday before I messages then to check if my tour would be going, as they will cancel the night before if you are the only person on the tour that day, and they told me I was the only person booked for the Tuesday, so I was able to be moved to the Monday instead on a day the tour was already confirmed to be going.

Great experience!
We made a day long custom trip to visit various ruins with a dropoff at a location a few hours from the pickup site. Our driver Cristian was great and the vehicle was very nice. Communication was good prior to the trip and we felt well cared for the entire day! We would definitely use this agency again.

Beautiful, must do all day tour!
An AMAZING full day tour with Josue! He was very informative and the communication from pick up to drop off was great. All admissions were included and details were accurate in the description. Josue was patient with us all in the crazy traffic and took sooooo many pictures and videos of my friends and I. Cafe Albania was fun - and quick lines even when crowded & hot springs were clean and quiet. Beautiful experience and DELICIOUS food!

Excellent Tour!!!
Our recent tour led by Salva was an enriching experience filled with educational insights and a deep dive into El Salvador's vibrant culture and history. Starting our day with a visit to charming small towns, we were immediately captivated by their unique architecture and local vibes. Salva took the time to explain the historical significance of each location, providing context that made every stop more meaningful.
One highlight was our visit to a local farmer’s market. Here, Salva shared fascinating details about the agricultural practices in the region and the importance of supporting local farmers. His passion for the local produce was infectious; we learned about various fruits and vegetables native to El Salvador, which added depth to our culinary experiences later in the day.
Afterward, we made our way to Cafe Albania for a morning filled with activities. The rainbow slide, aerial bicycle, and swing were not only fun but also designed to immerse us in the natural beauty surrounding us. Salva's encouragement and enthusiasm made the experience even more enjoyable, fostering a sense of camaraderie among the group.
Lunch in Ataco was another standout moment. We savored authentic El Salvadoran food, indulging in delicious pupusas and refreshing margaritas. Salva took the time to explain the ingredients and cultural significance of the dishes, enriching our appreciation for the local cuisine.
In the afternoon, we headed to the hot springs, where we relaxed and connected with fellow travelers. Salva facilitated discussions that allowed us to share our experiences and insights from the day, further enhancing our understanding of the culture and history of El Salvador.
The ride back to San Salvador was filled with laughter and reflections on our day. Salva’s storytelling and knowledge created an unforgettable excursion that was both educational and enjoyable. His ability to weave historical context with personal anecdotes made the tour not just informative but also deeply engaging.
This tour was a wonderful blend of fun, relaxation, and learning, all thanks to Salva's exceptional guidance. If you're looking for an immersive experience in El Salvador, I highly recommend joining one of his tours!
The four women on our tour called ourselves, “Salva’s Chicas” 😂😍 We created a WhatsApp group to share photos. Salva captured pictures of us on the slide and swing and shared with the group as well.

10 out of 10
We had an absolutely incredible walking tour of San Salvador with our guide, Carlos. From the moment the tour began, Carlos brought the city to life with his deep knowledge, thoughtful storytelling, and genuine passion for El Salvador’s history and culture.
He answered every question we had and we had a lot! Carlos answered with patience and so much insight. You can tell he truly loves what he does and cares about giving visitors an authentic and meaningful experience. We walked away with a richer understanding of the city and a new appreciation for its beauty and complexity.
If you’re visiting San Salvador, do yourself a favor and book a tour with Carlos. It was one of the highlights of our trip!

The capital of the small country of El Salvador, San Salvador is a perfect jumping-off point for exploring the country. Scale Santa Ana Peak, the country’s tallest mountain and an active volcano; border-hop into nearby Honduras for the ruins of Copan, some of the world's best-preserved Maya ruins; or follow the Ruta de las Flores, a path that features incredible biodiversity and indigenous culture. San Salvador tours are the way to see the country and region in all its complexity.
