Fernando was a great guide, making our visit to the Mayan Ruins seamless and enjoyable. We booked a private tour, and he picked us up promptly in the morning, and we were on the way for the full day. He was knowledgeable, patient, and a great vibe. He made us feel relaxed and taken care of the whole day. If would like a great experience around El Salvador, book this company!
