Definitely worth seeing if you’re in the area. Safe and comfortable ride to the sites. The lunch stop was great. Driver/guide was full of useful information.
Our tour guide Gerson was amazing! Very knowledgeable and funny too! Next time I come definitely booking with him again 🙂
This tour was a wonderful experience. My guide Gerson was absolutely amazing. He is so knowledgeable and shared the history and culture in an engaging way. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone interested in history or archaeology.
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.
