An Excellent, Well-Rounded Tour - I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. It was nice visiting the church, museum, and school. I really loved viewing the colorful murals throughout the various towns. The coffee tour was very good. I have attended other coffee tours in the world, but none walked us through each process step by step. It was fascinating. The hot springs were relaxing, and the food at the restaurant there was good; I only wish I had more time there. Gaby was an excellent tour guide, as she provided detailed historical and cultural information. The pace of the tour was adequate. I highly recommend this tour!

Gaby is the best tour guide! - Gaby was amazing. I was the only oerson on my tour so we talk the entire way there about the country and the citizens. Learning the culture and history of the Salvadoran people from Gaby was amazing. Her vast knowledge allowed me to get a better understanding of the country. I booked this tour the day before it happened and I am immensely happy I did!

The Perfect Way To Ruta Del La Flores - We very much recommend El Salvador Positive Tours. We did the one day Ruta De Las Flores tour with Francis and it was just what we wanted to do and see. It included stop offs in the small towns to experience the markets, and understand the history of the area. The tour also included a coffee processing tour, showing how coffee is made in the factory. The final stop was a relaxing soaking in the geothermal hot springs which was the authentic experience. Francis spoke very good English. Communication before the tour was also very easy and quick. Thank you again.

Authentic Tours w/Knowledgeable Guides - How can I give this experience more than 5 stars?! We had an amazing time. We used this company for two full day tours and airport transfers. Our day tours were with Josué and were educational, fun, and truly gave us a better understanding of the culture and people of El Salvador. As an added bonus, Josué captured the most beautiful photos of our family throughout the tour! I typically like to plan out our tours from beginning to end, but this time, I left it up to Josué and was so glad that I did. Not a minute was wasted and our friends at home were shocked to see that we did so many activities in such a short time. Go book with this company if you want an AUTHENTIC experience in El Salvador! We can’t wait to return. Thank you Josué and Francis for such a beautiful experience!

Great experience - I had such a great time on this trip! I felt like I was able to get a ton of adventure in all in one day. I only had one day in El Salvador so this was a great experience to see some beautiful scenery and we kept busy. The hot springs was the perfect way to end the day and was super relaxing. I can’t wait to come back and visit again!

Underwhelmed: guide arrogant - We were taken to Ataco, which is pretty, but I didn’t really want to buy stuff that was made in China. The guide left me alone as he wanted to “take pictures with the girls”. I had told him I had no network on my phone so when and where should we meet, but he just walked off, then told me off later because he “couldn’t find me” - although I’d gone back to the car. I found him arrogant and a bit ageist.
