We did two different tours with this tour company. One was a city tour and Boqueron plus the Mayan sites. These were basically private tours and our guide Gerson was very knowledgeable, accommodating and organized. These would have been much harder to do alone and we would have missed so much information. The day was well planned, moved at a good pace and time to stop and recharge for food. They picked us up directly at our hotel and followed the itinerary. Would strongly recommend and shout out to Gerson for a great time!
We had the best tour with Gerson! He was kind, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable! We learned a ton during our trip and felt it was extremely valuable. the door to door service and day felt extremely easy. Highly recommend you book this trip!
I had a great time on the tour with Wendy. She explained the history of Mesoamérica very well.
Amazing, Amazing, Amazing!! This tour exceeded our expectations in every way! Arely was an excellent tour guide! She is extremely knowledgeable and friendly! William was an excellent driver. Getting drone site to site we felt extremely safe. We 100% recommend this excursion!
Alfredo Diaz gave a great tour in both English and Spanish. Recommend
We had an amazing experience with our tour guide, Alfredo Diaz! He was knowledgeable, friendly, polite and made the entire journey engaging and enjoyable. A big thank you as well to our driver for a smooth and safe ride throughout the trip. so I definitely recommend bringing snacks for the journey or buy on the way. Lunch is the final stop, but it’s absolutely worth the wait! Highly recommend this tour if you’re looking for a fun, informative, and well-paced experience
Alfredo Diaz left a lasting impression on the fantastic culture of El Salvador, as well as giving us an appreciation for the history of the country and the legacy left behind by the Mayan culture. This trip truly shows you the beauty of the area with scenic routes, picturesque walks, and there is plenty of time to rest and souvenir shop. The food was amazing, the engagement during the tour was fantastic, and if you only spend one day in San Salvador, you should do this tour.
We booked an airport pick-up with this company, and it exceeded our expectations. The minibus was clean, comfortable, and very cozy, and the driver was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Our tour guide, Windy, was absolutely amazing—full of energy, warm, and truly passionate about her culture. Her enthusiasm made the experience so much more enjoyable, and you could really feel how much she loves sharing her heritage with others. During the tour, we visited Cerro Verde National Park, Tazumal, and San Andrés Archaeological Park. The views were absolutely stunning—seeing a volcano up close for the first time was an unforgettable experience. I also want to highlight how friendly and welcoming the local people are. We felt completely comfortable throughout the trip, and there was none of the tourist pressure or scams you might encounter elsewhere. Highly recommended!
This trip was absolutely epic and easily one of the highlights of our time in El Salvador. There were four of us (work colleagues) on the tour, and from start to finish everything was smooth, fun, and incredibly well organized. Steffany set the bar SUPER high — she was friendly, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience possible. She even accommodated an extra stop for us and made sure we never felt rushed. And Sandra (our driver) was hands-down one of the best drivers we’ve ever had anywhere. She made the entire day feel safe and comfortable, even with the longer drives. We visited three different sites and then made our way to the volcano, which was live — such an unforgettable experience. They also made an extra stop so we could take photos and even helped us translate with locals, which was hugely appreciated and made everything feel more authentic and easy. The views of the lake were incredible, and honestly everything about the day was fantastic. If you’re considering this tour — book it. Steffany and Sandra made it truly special and we would 100% recommend!
Gerson did a great job of showing us all of the unique and interesting things at the Mayan ruins. And explaining the volcano system in El Salvador. It was definitely a wonderful experience.
