Amanda_G, Mar 2026

This was so fun and the tour group leader did such an amazing job of making us feel the local culture. It was one of my favorite things we did while we were in El Salvador.

Fun cooking class

Sharon_K, Jan 2026

This cooking class was a lot of fun! We were picked up at our Airbnb and driven to the guides home. We enjoyed learning how to make this national food, and spending time with Elisa and her family. After enjoying our meal, we were returned to our Airbnb. I highly recommend this experience!

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you so much! We’re very happy you enjoyed the cooking class and the time shared with our family. It was a pleasure hosting you — thank you for the recommendation!
