Excellent guide. He showed us the city of San Salvador. What we liked the most was the Rosario Church. The guide made us see all the details that we would not have seen if it were not for him. We visited the 2 squares, the palace, among many other buildings. He instructed us a lot about each place. He showed us the old part and everything the tour offered such as the craft market

Our tour guide Hector Adonis was the best guide. This was actually one of the best tours I’ve had in a long time. First, there were only 3 of us on the tour besides our guide. It was perfect. Adonis was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. He went above and beyond any tour guide I have ever had! If you book with this company request Adonis!

Great tour of multiple areas in and around San Salvador. My tour guide Benjamin was very informative and friendly. Benjamin even helped me to buy some local Salvadorian food to try (which was very yummy). I would strongly recommend this tour to anyone.

Benjamin was an excellent guide who provided a great story of San Salvador from past to present. He had tremendous knowledge of everything. I thoroughly enjoyed this tour.

Very good, the outstanding thing is the guide, he has good knowledge of national history, Central America and Mexico, as well as geographical and political aspects.
