Request Diego - Best Tour Guide - Went on a solo tour to Ruta De Las Flores. Met up with three other people and had an amazing time. Diego is a superb tour guide made the tour fun and very informative has he explained the countries history and culture that I didn’t know about. Now about the amazing tour. Stop 1 - Cafe Albania - omg awesome! I picked the Bike Zipline and it was super cool. They even offered drone footage that they airdrop to your phone $10 extra per person and the footage came out amazing. The rainbow slide was intimidating and went super fast but was an amazing feeling. Stop 2 Ataco - Amazing colonial town with a beautiful souvenir shop to buy items as well as awesome murals for photo opportunities. Final Stop - Santa Teresa Hot Springs - The Mud treatment was refreshingly therapeutic. Skin feels soft and overall feel relaxed. The sauna and final hot springs to wash off minerals, was super hot! Highly Recommend this company and Diego for tours going forward. I have a tour tomorrow with Diego!

Amazing experience! - Our Tour Guide Diego was amazing! He contacted us the night before to set up the pickup time/location (and things to bring towel, etc). He kept our group engaged in the van but also gave us time to converse amongst ourselves or rest. He was knowledgeable abt the places we visited, kept us organized, gave us options abt our schedule, watched our belongings, drove safe, took amazing pictures/videos. Diego went above and beyond for us! He was so nice and an absolute pleasure! I speak very little Spanish, and he communicated in both Spanish and English effortlessly. Thank you!

Lovely tour - I took the tour with Gaby, an amazing guide! Very helpful, polite, attentive, fun and who knows a lot about the country, the tours and who answered all the questions in the best way possible. Gaby spoke English very well. I was alone in the day and had no one to take the walk with, but there was another person I didn't know who also wanted to take the walk. We went along with Gaby, the driver, in a super comfortable sedan. The first stop was the city of population with indigenous majority of Nahuizalco, because it was Sunday, the museum and school of Nahuat was closed, but we walked through the local product fair and the city. Then we went to visit a coffee farm near the city of Ataco, we did with a farm guide, who spoke English, we learned about the process of coffee production and then we tasted the local coffee, which was a delight! Then we explored the city of Ataco, which is beautiful, with several colorful murals and local products for sale in the stores. The last stop was the Termales Santa Helena, a huge and amazing complex of pools with hot thermal waters at different temperatures, with a restaurant structure with tasty food. Initially I wanted to take the ride to Copan, but as there were not enough people booked, only me, and was cancelled. But fortunately I had this other tour, which exceeded my expectations and I loved it!

I initially booked this... - I initially booked this tour because it was the cheapest for me at the time, but I am so glad I did it. Full day of experiences, seeing new areas, and learning new things. My guide (Diego) was so friendly to everyone he came across and knowledgeable about the places we visited. This was my most expensive excursion but with the cost of transport alone, the price made sense for me. I would suggest doing your own research but if you are looking for a Ruta de las Flores tour I would recommend this one.
