3.00Gab was nice and knowledgeable. I booked the tour for Sunday but was advised that tour was unavailable and was asked if i wanted a refund or rebooked another day. i really wanted this tour and only had limited time so we agreed for Monday. However, i was not advisdd that Joya de Cerem and other mayan sites are closed on Mondays. i wished i would have been told in advance so i can find a different tour on Sunday. Nevertheless, the trip was ok and we passed by Tazumal, had lunch with Coatepeque lake view and went to Cerro Verde park with a nice view of the volcano. Tried some local food which is good.
Excellent tour of El Salvador.

Perfect English. We had a blast all day and really enjoyed lunch in the volcano crater. Felt safe the entire time. Trip is highly recommended!!

5.00Gabriela was my tour guide. Incredibly nice and informative. Absolute joy showing me around. She provided so much information on the country and other places I should visit that I took notes and shared them with others in a different tour. Joya de Ceren was great to see, the Park was great, especially since I climbed Santa Ana days later and lunch overlooking the lake was amazing. Highly recommend!
