5.00I recently had the joy of taking a tour of El Salvador’s stunning Ruta de las Flores, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. From beginning to end, the experience was curated with so much care, charm, and thoughtfulness that it felt less like a typical tour and more like being warmly welcomed into the heart of the country. The itinerary itself was beautifully paced—never rushed, yet always engaging. Each stop along the route offered something new and delightful, whether it was wandering through colorful colonial towns, exploring bustling local markets, tasting the most delicious coffee, or admiring the vibrant murals that bring the streets to life. What struck me most was how the tour wove together history, culture, art, and nature in such a seamless way. Nothing felt surface-level; every detail and explanation made me appreciate El Salvador more deeply. Of course, what truly elevated the experience was our guide, Elisa. From the very first moment, she radiated kindness and warmth, making everyone feel comfortable and included. She is incredibly knowledgeable—her explanations of history, culture, and traditions were insightful and intelligent, yet always delivered in such an approachable and engaging way. She had a wonderful gift for storytelling, turning facts into meaningful narratives that really stuck with me. You could tell she deeply loves and respects her country, and that passion made the entire journey so much more inspiring. By the end of the day, I felt not only that I had seen the beauty of the Ruta de las Flores, but that I had experienced it in a way that was personal, meaningful, and unforgettable. If you are considering a tour in El Salvador, I wholeheartedly encourage you to choose this company—and if you are lucky enough to have Elisa as your guide, you are in for a truly special experience.
Must do!

5.00Superb day accompanied by Elisa. She made us discover beautiful villages of the Route of Flowers and the Cerro lagoona Verde. All these places are worth a visit. The food was delicious. Elisa is very friendly. She loves the country and makes us discover it very well. We have only good things to say about our day and our experience with it. If you are lucky enough, take the guided tour!

5.00An unforgettable experience! The street food and crafts were my favorite part, I was able to try different foods that I loved. You'll need to bring enough space to try everything, from the wide variety of vibrantly colored seasonal tropical fruits to the endless selection of traditional dishes that will give you a taste of the roots of Salvadoran cuisine. And with the handicrafts, there's a wide variety to choose from. I would definitely come back again to do the tour again. The guide Elisa was very kind and patient, she made us feel very comfortable on our trip.
Authentic flavors and beautiful scenery – a perfect day trip!

Laguna Verde was absolutely stunning — so peaceful and surrounded by nature. The guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience feel very personal. We also appreciated the chance to support local businesses and try real Salvadoran products.
