Best Travel Company in El Salvador - We have cooperated with Eric and Doris for many times. We go to El Salvador very often for business purposes, they pick us up and drop us off at the airport. They also provided us with a driver with an SUV for transportation in the city, so we don't need to deal with traffic and directions. They are responsive and punctual, they keep their promises. We are delighted with them and recommend them to anyone who wants a trouble-free trip to El Salvador.

The best tour guide! - It was the best tour so far that we had after so many trips around the world! The tour guide Erick was a real professional: spoke fluent English and was a full of knowledge of the history of a city and its surroundings. His SUV was almost brand, very comfortable with a/c. Because of him we experienced a lot of amazing things and drank the best Salvadoran coffee! Gracias!

Excellent Experience - I wanted to share the great experience I had using “Papagayo Adventures” in El Salvador. We took 2 tours and our bilingual guide was Erick Gerardo Galves, who provided us with an excellent experience taking the tours, one to a Vulcan including the city tour, and the other one to "Antigua Guatemala". I can say they have competitive rates and are very reliable, consistent, knowledgeable, and courteous. That is why I am giving “Papagayo Adventures” a 5-star rating.

Walk through the historic center - Erick and Erick Jr. offered us a very nice tour, full of history. Erick Jr. has a lot of knowledge of the history of his beautiful native country. Erick was very kind and attentive to my parents, who are older adults with mobility limitations. He answered all their questions and shared stories about his family. Highly recommended this tour of the historic center.

All in one! - Amazing tour by Julio. Great history of the city, my highlight is the Palacio Nacional for only 5 dollars, you can get in beautiful historical rooms! Amazing experience, love the miradoro view top of the city! And by heading home we ate papusas in Orocluita! I did 11-3:30 all worth it! Thank you Eric for the recommendation! Gracias

Wonderful Day Trip!!! - Doris was great! Punctual, professional and very helpful. She was taking extra care of my parents who are in their late 70s, pacing our walks and making sure they were safe while walking. She answered any questions we had, and was proud and knowledgeable speaking about El Salvador’s history. We only had one day to tour and learned a lot from touring with her. She even made sure not to leave us stranded when we couldn’t contact our Airbnb with a correct address. I don’t think many would, and we will always be specially thankful for that. She went above and beyond to ensure tourists were comfortable, safe, informed and truly glad we took the day trip. We will be sure to contact her if we are ever fortunate enough to come back and visit longer. Mil Gracias Doris, mis Padres te envían saludos y Bendiciones.

Informative day full of action - We had a chance to discover a part of El Salvador in the guidance of a local, experienced and multilingual guide Erick who made our visit to the country a memorable one. With his insight on local history, people, politics and the nature, he opened a new window for us and made us want to come back and learn more.
