The tour was amazing! Luis is the absolute best, if you can get him he will show you a good time. He went out of his way to show us the things we had requested and accommodated my mom’s disability. He also took photos for us and helped translate for us. We had the absolute best day due to him and also Fernando who organized the tour for us was really professional as well. I really liked this tour it was the perfect way to explore El Salvador! One day I just traveled by uber myself and that was way less enjoyable I wish I had booked a tour both days!
