New York Cafe Suchitoto

5.00What a beautiful town. Casa 1800 was good, but the icing on the cake was Casa Clementine Restaurante New York Cafe y Galería service 10+ coffee great the bread pudding and peach cobbler with ice cream to die for. This place local art meets great food, film and conversations and the view of the lake, the best one, period. @casaclementinasv @newyorkcafesuchi

3.00Very too expensive for what you got. The boat tour on the lake is nice. However Sushitoto visit is very underwhelming. The guide Arely shown me the church and 3 indigo shop and that’s it. I will not recommend this tour except if they had more stops for the money theay ask.
Great experience, highly recommend!

5.00Fantastic experience! Our guide Steffany and driver Sandra were both awesome. We had a boat ride on Ilopango Lake and walked around Suchitoto after eating lunch. Steffany was very well-informed and was a great tour guide, explaining everything about the lake and the history of Suchitoto. Highly recommend!
Great day in Suchitoto

5.00Great full day tour with Gerson!!! He was kind enough to help with a pupusa making class (he’s a natural) and support us throughout the day!!! Guaranteed great addition to any trip to El Salvador!
Suchitoto is always worth a visit.

4.00The boat trip on IlopangoLake was very nice. We also liked Suchitoto. However, we would have liked a little free time here. We really liked the selected restaurant Case 1800 for lunch. Tour guide and driver were very competent and friendly. Would also book the tour again - despite the long journey back to San Salvador with its evening mega jams.
Amazing Day Trip!

5.00Our tour guide, Gerson, was amazing. He was very knowledgeable about El Salvador overall and the areas that we went to, was an excellent conversationalist in English, translated for us when talking to anyone we met, and knew a lot of great places to go so that we could have a great time. We really appreciate the tour! It was better than we could have imagined.
Nice Last Day

5.00After spending most my days hiking, spending a slower paced day at Suchitoto was nice! Drive isn’t too long, the boat ride was nice, the restaurant chosen for lunch had an insanely beautiful view! Wendy was our guide, and she gave us the background of everywhere we visited. The only downside- to NO fault of our guide or tour company- is that the main square in Suchitoto is under heavy construction. Hopefully they finish soon, I’m sure it’s going to look great!
Boat ride, lunch, walking tour with beautiful sights

3.00A nice little village near San Salvador. Picturesque, warm and with friendly people offering services and their business, good place
Very good tour

4.00Get to know a city with virtually all its colonial architecture, one of the oldest in El Salvador is excellent, worth the main square being in works. The walk on Lake Ilopango is excellent even though the waters of the lake are not properly clean The guide/driver that caught me was Gerson which is excellent! The suggestion of the place is what to eat for lunch was excellent
