🇸🇻Best way to be introduced to San Salvador 5⭐️🇸🇻
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.

Was definitely worth it!...
Was definitely worth it! Just be prepared for a little hike up some stairs. Was picked up from my hotel at 8:30am and got back by 3:30pm. We stopped at a restaurant right before going to the national park. Rafael was a great tour guide! Communicated in both English & Spanish.

Hard hike but worth it
Weather was perfect and our tour guide (Diego) was amazing. Very knowledgeable and kind, even allowed us to do a pig stop on the way back. The hike was tough, definitely underestimated, even reading the reviews felt like it wouldn’t be too bad. The elevation was high and steep with a lot of rocks. Worth it at the top and even the views midway but wear comfortable shoes, bring water, a small jacket because it’s cold but you will eventually take it off from the sweat you get from hiking. Overall would recommend if you are able to make it to the top.

Wonderful trip and tour
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.

10/10, was amazing!
This was another great tour, my 4th on the trip. The driver, Jorge, was on time and provided great conversation during the highway rides. The guide was also great; he provided context and history that enriched the overall experience. The Mayan ruins were amazing and I have memories that will last a lifetime. The restaurant served excellent food, and the view of the volcano lake is unlikely anything I have previously seen. Lastly, the Cerro Verde nature hike was a cool (temperature) break and was the perfect way to end my trip.

A Top Tier Experience
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.

A great time
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...
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!

Solo Trip
Rosa was the best host, she was on time and flexible during the trip. She made sure I was safe and on time to each location and with this being SOLO TRAVEL trip I was so comfortable and happy to have her along on the ride. Great person to have on your team. I enjoyed my trip more due to Rosa

If travel memories were currency, Diego just made us wildly rich. 🌎✨
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. 🙌

Great experience!
The tour was great! Salva was the guide we got and from the driving to the tour itself he made it a great time, comfortable and informative. Every place you visit is worth it and we had plenty of time for each activity/place and got to have a nice lunch along with time to be able shop for things. I would recommend it

Well worth the hike!!!
The hike down to the waterfalls is intense. So wear proper shoes. But once you get to the falls, its well worth the hike. It was about a 45min hike down. Going back up was super intense. Those mountains are super steep. But our tour guide Diego was extremely patient and friendly with us. El Tunco beach was beautiful and there are plenty of places to eat, drink, and shop.

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.
