The excursion was very educational, beautiful, in a small group and the places are fabulous. The only bad thing is that, when we went, Casablanca was closed for repairs to its infrastructure so we missed that part of the tour and they did not change the activity for another nor did we receive any discount for the inconvenience.

This trip was excellent. I learned a lot about El Salvador. Alex is a very knowledgeable tour guide. Casablanca was closed but he took us to another site, San Andres and it did not disappoint. Cuatepeque lake which is inside the volcano crater is an amazing and a breathtaking site. Love this trip. Thanks Alex. 🙂

Our guide Eduardo is very knowledgeable about the places and various subjects. He was able to answer all our questions. The transportation was comfortable and air conditioned. Don’t forget to bring sunblock and hat and bug spray.

Great trip! Carlos our guide was great, and taught us so much! Definitely recommend!

everything.. Raul our guide, Omar our driver and the sites we visited
