On Mondays this park is closed so we will meet in the entrance of the park, which is in Alameda Franklin D. Roosevelt.

4.00The guide was not Dave, but someone else whose name began with a V or B (I couldn’t catch it). He spoke good English. He was nice and not creepy with three ladies. But he wasted a lot of time asking poorly thought-out questions. I’d guess that 20-30 minutes of the tour might have been spent on these efforts at Socratic guiding, asking essentially unanswerable questions that wasted time. He also gave some information with confidence that didn’t seem correct, particularly when referencing countries outside El Salvador. So I’ve had more informative tours. He also arrived 10 minutes late.
Skipped what is listed in the itinerary

2.00The guide’s positive energy is good. I booked the 16:30 tour thinking it will make the walking tour in hot climate easier. But we spent 2 hours till we made it to Basilica Sagrada and we just skipped it. No mention of it. There were unnecessarily long stops for snacks and beverages. If you are looking to meet other people, this is a tour but nothing else. All the rest you can visit yourself.
Must do for San Salvador!

Great experience, highly recommend!

5.00David was extremely knowledgeable and didn’t hold back telling us about El Salvador’s history and how they came to be such a safe and tourism full country in the last 7 years. He answered every question we asked and tailored the experience based on our interests or requests. He definitely knows where the best pupusas are! Highly recommend this tour!
