All San Salvador Tours & Excursions in 2026

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.

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.

Great guide and driver, friendly, helpful, informed. Fun to see a variety of colonial towns, markets, food tents and artisan shops. The drive was scenic, comfortable air conditioned van, great vista stops and countryside. Enjoyed it, tried unique fruits and food.

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!

Very nice tour and Gaby was a great guide. She told me a lot about the country, which I greatly appreciate as a solo traveler. The hike to the waterfall is quite challenging; one should be fit. I would definitely recommend wearing hiking shoes, as it can be quite steep, slippery, and muddy in some places. Additionally, I would take a change of shirt, as you will be completely soaked in sweat afterward. However, it is definitely worth it. The beach was also nice, and there were some restaurants there.

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. 🙌

What can I say? Or rather where should I start? 😊 My hubby and I were picked up on time by Pablo, who was our tour guide as well as our driver. Pablo speaks great English. Pablo was very engaging, friendly, funny, kind, considerate and most importantly: patient. This hike was no joke! If you are not in shape/don't really do any physical activity, you will not survive this hike! I walk approximately 2 miles every morning and 5 miles on the weekends. This hike kicked my butt! I wanted to give up, but Pablo was amazing! Once you reach to the top, the view is amazing and Pablo will take photos/videos for you. Please be advised that the incline going up is no joke! The descent is also somewhat strenuous! Please wear proper shoes! Bring water, hat, sunglasses. This hike is not for the weak! Thank goodness for Pablo and local guide Christina. Am I glad I did the hike? Yes. Would I do it again? Most definitely not! Lol!

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!
