5.00This is the third. time I have used Salvadorean Tours. We used them for the full week we were in El Salvador. They took us all over. I cannot say enough good things about the Team: * Always on time * Vehicles in very good condition, clean, AC, etc. * Very professional * Omar, our chauffeur is excellent! He was with us the whole week! Always smiling, helpful, and VERY accommodating * We went all over...Cerro Verde, Tazumal, Ataco, San Salvador Centro Historico, Boqueron, El Tunco, El Zonte.. * We had to clarify some details for a Monday, and both Omar and Fernando were available to help on that Sunday. We totally appreciated that!! Sooo...overall an A ++++ We will used them again and totally recommend them
A little bit of history and nature.

5.00Great experience. They contacted us the day before to confirm pickup. Our guide, Alfredo, also contacted the morning of to make sure we knew where to meet. Alfredo was a great guide. He talked about the history and culture of El Salvador as we traveled in the van. Our driver Jorge was great too. Alfredo had quite a few questions from our group and he was able to answer all thoughtfully. We really liked getting to know more about the country this way.
Great tour!

5.00Great tour! I had a lot of fun on this trip and would definitely recommend it. My tour guide Alfredo was super kind and helpful, and all the archeological sites are super interesting. The hike up the volcano is also super fun, but definitely make sure you are wearing appropriate shoes and clothes.
Great way to condense surrounding things to see into a single day

5.00Overall the tour was great. Alfredo was very knowledgeable and quite funny too. I hurt my ankle taking a wrong step, and had to be carried out of the volcano, and taken to a hospital , which is where the tour for me ended compared to other other people in the group. But Alfredo did everything he could to get me the help I needed and sent me photos of the view I missed . Just an FYI , additional fee of $20 cash if getting picked up from the beach (El tunco) with a 1-1.5 hr drive to meet up with the other people in the city.
I highly recommend this trip

5.00We had this tour with the guide Alfredo Diaz. It was very interesting what he told all about the country and people of El Salvador. Likewise, he explained many interesting things about visiting Yova de Ceren, San Andres. He was very familiar with plants and trees and explained much in the Cerro Verde National Park, as well as the numerous volcanoes and the Largo de Coatepeque. So I got a great impression
Excellent tour to the myan ruins and volcanos

5.00It was so enjoyable. Our guide was Alfredo and the driver Jorge. They were both so knowledgeable about the area we toured and so helpful with other areas to visit. I would recommend Viator and our tour guide.

5.00A synthesis tour of some of the main routes, bringing together history, archaeology, nature, close view of volcanoes and lake. The guide Alfredo besides well informed, is attentive, kind. The restaurant house 1800 is wonderful and offers view to the valleys, volcanoes and lake. On the way back we still stopped p to buy fruits in the kiosk with the gentle service during the seven-day stay in El Salvador.
