I visited El Salvador during the ending of Aug. and my experience was the best! My tour guide Adrian made the tour educational and fun! I was the only one that day and he did a great job at showing me around the city & took GREAT pictures! He even accompanied me to Devil's Cave after the tour was over! I will definitely be looking him up when I go back to El Salvador! Thank you for the amazing experience!
Despite the fact that almost all the tour is devoted to the history of struggle and terror. The guide was so passionate about it that it overshadowed the lack of historically interesting facts about San Salvador.
Adrian was just perfect. He was able to interest us to the stories of his country. Good knowledge, well prepared, and good duration for the tour. I highly reocmmend it. Really nice with us, brang us to lunch after! Had a really good time with him. Don’t miss it! Really good english and a good French too :)
A guide like no other! We are visiting the historic district of San Salvador and Adrian brings the past to life through the prism of his own experience and his great knowledge of his country's history. The tone is sometimes humorous, sometimes committed, and you really understand the major stages that have marked the history of a country shaken by so much violence. Really lively, informative, and fun at the same time thanks to Adrian!
We were lucky enough to discover San Salvador with Adrian. After spending 10 days in the country, this tour stood out as a highlight of the trip. Really great to learn so much about the ups and downs of El Salvador, the wounds, the scars, and the rebirth of the country. Adrian even managed to captivate our 3 teenagers, which is saying a lot! He speaks perfect English and even gets by very well in French. Adrian is a good speaker and he is also really funny, and is not stingy with his time. In short, I can only recommend him to everyone. This tour really makes you want to discover even more! Muchas gracias Adrian:)
This tour was great. Adrian took us to some amazing food spots so we can get to experience San Salvador through its food. He presented historical and cultural information with such passion. It gave me much appreciation for the resilience of the people of El Salvador.
Adrian was very personable and provided excellent and informative into the history and current state of El Salvador.
Rich history of El Salvador with great historical site and new infrastructure all in one packet. Our tour guide Dave was funny, full of energy and very enthusiastic. He explain the history very detailed. We had the evening tour and it was perfect. We had our tour on Sunday so we really see the hustle and bustle of the city. Our family really enjoyed the tour. Highly recommended if you’re visiting San Salvador.
Such an interesting city and Adrian was so good at showing us this! He is very funny and takes you to all the historic spots and has a lot of knowledge to share with people.
Honestly best walking tour i ever did, and i did many. He tells you all the ins and outs of the gang era. I was so locked in all the time. He tells the relevant and interesting stuff and is super transparant. Great guy and 10/10 would recommend honestly
