5.00It was the best choice of tour to start the trip. We met about the history and culture of the country. We ate fresh fruit and cold drinks. The horchata was delicious. In addition we visit unmissable points of the historic center and markets. The service was very friendly. We recommend it.

5.00We chose to do this tour because of all of the positive reviews and recommendations we’ve read about, and it did not disappoint! Dave is a great storyteller and he loves his country. That comes through on this tour, and it makes you appreciate San Salvador even more! Dave was so animated and taught us so much about the history, educational system, economy, and culture of El Salvador. He really made the tour come alive with his vibrant and enthusiastic personality.
