My half day San Salvador city tour was awesome! My tour guide Alfredo did an excellent job ! He explained the history and culture of the city and people of El Salvador! True historian ! My favorite was the cathedral and its unique architecture, the life of saint Oscar Romero ! Live the National library and theater and the wonderful marketplace ! It was an amazing experience and I do recommend Alfredo as your tour guide when you visit San Salvador!

Our driver, Adonis, was the absolute best! He was very flexible and took us to a museum we wanted to see, and acted as our tour guide there before we started on our City Tour. Everything was perfect. The volcano was amazing. He is very knowledgeable about the city’s history, and it’s so wonderful to see the positive transformation of El Salvador because of their wonderful president.

Modernized city but respecting its history. The old premises maintain their structure in modern shops, with their beautiful squares surrounding it. The huge 7-story Library donated by the Republic of China to the Salvadoran people deserves special attention

I had the opportunity to participate in a city tour that exceeded all my expectations. From the moment we met our Guide, his enthusiasm and knowledge about the city captivated us. The tour was perfectly organized, allowing us to explore both the emblematic places and the most hidden corners of the city.

Hector di a great job, very patient and knowledgeable. ON TIME AND clean vehicle went above and beyond the call of duty My cousin and I had a big interest in what happened to Archbishop Marino and hector took us to the church and to the crypt and it gave us the background and the history of his execution….sad story… also he took us up to the volcano and we had a great panoramic view of the city.

The tour guide was ok. Couldn't find where his car parked! He is not very knowledgeable, when ask him about El Salvador's education. He is not very clear. His English is ok. It will be nice if the tour can go a local cafe store or bakery for break.
