Wow what an amazing tour! The Mayan ruins are absolutely breathtaking. My tour guide Steve was very knowledgeable of each site and the history of the Mayan people. I highly recommend this tour with Steve and EC Tours, you won't be disappointed.

EC Tours El Salvador delivered a private tour that covered some of the top tourist attractions. Ruta Las Flores, Cerro Verde National Park, Coatepeque Lake, Mayan Archaelogical Sites, San Salvador City and Pupusas Tasting and the Museo de la Palabra y la ImagenThe online communication with Vanessa (Administration) went well for making the arrangements. Gerson was an excellent guide - very knowledgeable, helpful and pleasant; and Walter was a good natured, wonderful driver who provided safe and comfortable transport. They were a great team. For a positive experience EC Tours El Salvador should be considered by anyone wishing to visit this country. Rhona and Ana Teresa Date of experience: December 2024
Highly recommend.

Great tour company. Had Liz as our guide and Alessandro as our driver. They are the best. She speaks both Spanish and English. Very knowledgeable and informative. She keeps you want to learn more and more about El Salvador. Her attentiveness is the best. Alessandro is one of the best drivers. He is a safe and sound driver. They represent a great company. The communication with the tour guides and the company is by far the better ones.

Fantastic outing to three mayan sites as well as a volcanic and caldera view lunch. Tour was with EC and guide Lisbeth and driver Alessandro. Both were superb and made sure that the drive was seamless and the outing informative and fun. Lisbeth is a wonderful guide and made what would normally be a boring outing that much more engaging. Overall a great day and would recommend this for those who have a fascination with all things ancient.

This was the first tour we did in El Salvador and we were lucky to be able to get a private option with Lisbeth as our guide. We were picked up at 830am prompt and off we went. We got to go to all three sites plus customize along the way to accommodate some of our needs. We learned so much and had a really nice session with a special guide at Tazumal who shared a lot of knowledge about the Mayans and the Nawat language that is getting a resurgence thankfully. We had a very nice lunch also at Lake Coatepeque. It is along day but if you are hungry for immersion and discovery and knowledge of the country, you can not miss this tour! Walter our driver was great. Lisbeth is a star! And you can;t go wrong with EC tours. :-)

My brother and I had a custom tour including Joya and San Salvador. Our guide, Jocelyn, and driver, William, were both very professional and knowledgeable. Additionally, they were so fun and personable. We learned much about the country and practiced our Spanish. Highlights were Joya (UNESCO World Heritage site), and downtown San Salvador including a lovely lunch, the Cathedral and El Rosario (must see!). We would highly recommend this tour and look forward to returning to beautiful El Salvador.
