Absolutely wonderful tour with Eduardo

5.00Our Ruta das Flores tour with Eduardo was definitely the highlight of our time in El Salvador. He was an excellent guide, and shared some wonderful conversations with us regarding the country, its people, and its history. It was fascinating to hear his insights and first-hand experience. The tour itself was just perfect - we stopped in several little towns along the route, and Eduardo walked with us, showing us a variety of highlights. We particularly loved the local markets, the pretty murals, and the beautiful churches. Eduardo managed to pack so much into one day and yet we never felt rushed. We had plenty of time to browse the handicrafts stalls, admire the scenery and take photos - Eduardo has great artistic vision and took some gorgeous photos and even short vídeos of us, which are a great memory of our day with him. The whole tour was a pleasure from start to finish - the itinerary felt authentic and focused on the real history and culture of the surrounding area. Definitely a must do!

5.00We did this tour with the guide Stanley, wonderful person and very professional. We visited the various cities and bought at their typical stalls, after which we visited the coffee factory, where we were explained the whole route to coffee production. We also had the chance to try one. I highly recommend this tour because it is very interesting and pleasant.

5.00It is a quiet route to go to enjoy villages, local food, buy crafts, drink coffee from the region and if you like adventure rent a quad bike. Our guide was Alfredo and always friendly, explaining history of the place and very attentive, totally recommended!

3.00It was nice to see some of the countryside and learn about the history of Ruta de la Flores. What was not conveyed was how long we would travel to get to the locations. Half of the time was spent in a van.
Awesome, informative, and tailored

5.00Excellent guide (Adonis) and a very good one. Driver (Throat) We had a great day. We highly recommend this tour.
Colourful towns, great food scene, and coffee stop

5.00This was my second tour with Salvadorean Tours and I loved both! This tour gives you a quick glimpse at the Ruta de las flores by exploring five unique towns. Alfredo and the driver, Jorge, made sure it was a memorable experience. We didn't end up going to Ahuachapan like I thought, but Concepcion de Ataco was honestly a good way to cap it off.
