My husband and I had a great day on this tour! Thank you to Sandra and Steffany. We learned a lot about the towns and area, took lots of great photos, made memories, and drank delicious coffee. We highly recommend this tour to everyone visiting El Salvador.

The experience was spectacular. Gerson was the best guide and Sandra the best companion. It was an immersive, fun, informative and fun experience. They were super welcoming and made this experience unforgettable. Super recommend!

I wouldn't call this a guided tour, as our guide gave us very little information. She gave maybe a 4 second blurb (I am not at all exaggerating) on each location and basically encouraged us to shop at the local market at each location, except the coffee farm/restaurant. It was expected to get a lot more information. The tour was basically a drive around the country side and through a couple of villages. Even the coffee farm was a let down, we tasted two different types of coffee they had, and I basically had to explain to the rest of the groups how coffee is processed and how it's supposed to be brewed, roasted and tasted and even elaborated on the geography of coffee in general. I gave the group more information about the areas than the so-called guide. The tour should, if that's what it can be called, should have cost about 35$ per person, not 90. On another note, the driver was completely reckless and put everyone's life in danger several times. Everyone in the group feared for the safety and lives. Overall, I was highly disappointed in this tour and absolutely recommend AGAINST booking it.

It was nice to see the traditional towns and markets and to get out of the city. It felt like a long way to drive just to go souvenir shopping in four different places. Our tour guides were very nice, but didn't give us much of a tour at all. There wasn't really any historical context or highlights of important sights...mostly just "here are the stores." I wouldn't do it again. The coffee tasting was the best part - the service and ambiance were exceptional.

Our guide, Will, was extremely kind and helpful. I just wish we’d had a bit more time to enjoy the markets, as I felt somewhat rushed moving on to the next location. The coffee plantation isn’t really a tour; it’s more of a very nice place to stop for lunch, with a brief presentation about their coffee.

Excellent tour. we had a good time exploring 4 towns and coffee tasting. Maybe we stopped at weekend food festival so didn’t stop at Albania cafe as indicated in the website.

I did on Christmas Eve with a friend, the experience of the guided tour of the Ruta de la Flores and a Coffee Farm. I highly recommend it. I also wanted to thank our guide, Arley, who was very kind, willing to listen to our needs and competent in explaining the various sites visited.

I was in El Salvador 10 days with a friend in late December 2025. This experience of the Ruta de Las Flores we could not help but do. We relied on Carlos (driver, I think it's called that) and Arley (our young tour guide). Both are smart, expression of a welcoming people, always cheerful and with great dignity. Arley, then, has spearheaded us in every situation as a competent person and confident in his relationship skills. Discreet but always present. She certainly made a difference to us. It gave us a day to remember with joy and recognition. The landscapes, the cities seen and the coffee plantation speak for themselves.
