      Perfect Tour for a Layover
      I enjoyed my experience on this tour. It was a great way to spend my layover before heading to my next destination. Alfredo is a wealth of knowledge and a pleasure to tour with. His passion and love for El Salvador shines through. I enjoyed learning more about the history and culture while seeing the city and experiencing El Boqueron. The hike was great and I liked learning about various plants along the way to the volcano. Seeing the crater was awesome. I highly recommend this tour with Alfredo.

      I had an amazing experience with our tour guide, Alfredo in El Salvador! His passion for the country's rich culture and history truly shone through. They expertly navigated us through the main attractions, sharing fascinating stories and insights that brought each site to life. From the stunning landscapes to the vibrant local markets, every moment was memorable. Thank you for making our visit so enjoyable and enlightening! Highly recommend!

      Great, recommend for friend and family. So much to see.
      The tour was incredible. Our family had both a kid and a teen. It was both in Spanish and English. The guide was amazing. He is knowledgeable and has shown passion for the hikes, sites, and history. When I come back I will consider rebooking the same tour or trying a new tour.

      Awesome tour
      I had an amazing tour and left feeling very information about San Salvador. I had the pleasure of being guided by Alfredo, such a wonderful person. Alfredo left no stone unturned by sharing with me about the history of San Salvador and it’s people. I loved the grandness of the churches theater, library and other national buildings. I enjoyed the drive to Santa Telca to see the volcano. Beautiful views. The lunch selection place was just right. I even got a sweet treat to celebrate my birthday. All in all I am happy I went with this tour group and would not only recommend them but I would use them again for other tours.

      A Journey Through El Salvador's Archaeological Past
      I had a fantastic tour of El Salvador, visiting five incredible archaeological sites. Our guide, Alfredo Diaz, was knowledgeable, passionate and funny. The lunch on Lake Coatepeque was the perfect way to end the day. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting El Salvador.

      Nice tour to see Mayan sites and volcano views. Interesting to get some history and background on the region. Definitely worth doing if you are in El Salvador.

      Excellent tour of many historic sites around San Salvador
      This was an excellent way to see multiple historic sites outside of San Salvador on one single day trip. The tour started with Joya de Ceren, the "Pompeii of the Americas," nicknamed that because it is a Mayan village that was buried under several feet of volcanic ash when a nearby volcano exploded (as happened often in El Salvador throughout its history). Then it was a visit to the pyramid complex at San Andreas, which is in the early stages of being unearthed. Then it was Tazumal, a small pyramid complex that has been more substantially unearthed than San Andreas. And right next to the archaeological park in Tazumal is probably the most colorful cemetery I've seen, with the graves in beautiful colors of blue, turquoise and teal. It's fenced off from the archaeological park, so you can't visit it, but you see it and snap pictures from the park. Then it was a trip to the center of the historic town of Santa Ana, before heading to lunch at a restaurant overlooking a huge lake inside a huge caldera of a volcano. Our guide Alfredo Diaz did an excellent job throughout, conducting a bilingual tour in English and Spanish with complete ease, never making speakers of either language feeling like they got more complete explanations of anything. And the rains held off until we were back in the van well on our way back to our respective hotels in San Salvador. So thank you Alfredo for that bit of timing, too.

      Amazing day trip along the floral route exploring the beautiful local markets and trying local food including pupusas! Vitelio and Adonis were amazing!

      Buen experiencia, gracias Alfredo!
      What a wonderful experience! I’ve been assigned to Alfredo Diaz and this man knows what he is talking about! He’s been there for us the entire trip, showing us the roots of Mayan culture to the trees and more! Speak both EN/SP and if you are looking for a nice trip with someone that has knowledge about so many thing in El Salvador, I recommend Alfredo! Gracias por todo ☀️ Me vas en Canadá con un sonrisa que ninguna persona tienen! 🥂

    Eduardo was fantastic. Extremely knowledgeable and above all else a genuine, lovely & welcoming person. El Salvador has been fantastic already but his tour was a testament to the country and people. Hopefully I’ll be able to come again.

    My dad and I had a lot of fun on this trip. We got to see gorgeous sights and our tour guide was very friendly and knew all the good places to go to get wonderful pictures. The place we stopped for lunch was very good and he really made our trip to El Salvador special. We went on New Year's Eve and were worried most things would be closed, but our guide knew what would be open and allowed us to really get to know the country. I would definitely recommend this tour to people traveling to El Salvador. We also felt completely safe the whole time and did not go any places where we were at all worried.

    El Salvador has acquired a non-deserved bad reputation. In reality, it is a gorgeous country with decent infrastructure, friendly people and no obvious security issues for a casual visitor. This trip included amazing views of the volcano crater, a lovely walk through the Forrest in the Parque Nacional de los Volcanes and then driving through the exuberant Ruta de las Flores and visiting the picturesque villages along the way. Eduardo was a true fountain of knowledge and made the tour unforgettable. I highly recommend him.
