San Salvador Tour - Francisco picked us up at our hotel and then took us to a wonderful restaurant overlooking San Salvador with great pupusas. Then we went into the city and explored San Salvador. Iglesia de Rosario was breathtaking and the library was definitely a special place. Francisco was knowledgeable, friendly, and a great guide. A great experience that I would definitely recommend!!!

Great Private Tour - Great private tour. Adonis was very knowledgeable on the history of the historic center of San Salvador. He explained things thoroughly and took us around to view the center and the new library founded by china.

Excellent Tour with Adonis - I went on this tour with Adonis on my most recent visit home in San Salvador. I decided to book a tour for fun to explore downtown since I was traveling alone. It was Adonis and myself and it was a lot of fun, I was afraid it was going to be awkward but it was the opposite, I felt like I was hanging out with a friend (who is incredible knowledgeable of our culture) it was laid back, super interesting and something I would absolutely do again. I am looking forward for my next experience when I am back again.

Fun/Easy Half Day Tour - This tour was done by Hector Adonis [he goes by Adonis.] Adonis says he is one of the, if not THE, youngest tour guide in El Salvador. Very nice guy. Very knowledgeable, speaks English very well. This tour was very laid back. It was just me and this couple from Canada, who were down here to surf. I have to be honest, I love that these tours are very small and intimate. They are more personalized this way, which I really like. Also, all of the tours I had in El Salvador were great…one of the few places I have been to where they DON’T drop you off at a gift shop. They just focus on their city and its rich culture. Also, the people of El Salvador are extremely friendly. This tour focuses on the history of San Salvador and takes you around to the main 3 squares in the Centro Historico. These plazas have such beautiful buildings and statues, and they are so full of people - and the best part, they are dancing and playing music. They are all just celebrating life. We were also able to tour the new library that just opened a week ago. This is NOT part of the tour but they invited us to come in and explore the building. It is a very beautiful and state-of-the-art. Thank you Adonis for taking us on a tour and making sure that all of our questions were answered and just being so friendly and knowledgeable.

Comprehensive, perfect for an afternoon tour - This is an excellent tour to do. My family/group of 9 did this with Alfredo. His English is perfect and we were able to follow and understand everything. He took photos for us and even took us to the local market to purchase souvenirs. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you like history.

Great for family - This was a great tour that had us learning and seeing a lot of San Salvador. We Learned many different things from history to modern day. Had some walking and some shopping which was fun. Our tour guide even took us to grocery store to recommend some Local food , coffee and rum! Had a blast and would recommend this tour for a good way to see San Salvador and still have time to explore on your own.

bring more interest - The tour guide was ok. Couldn't find where his car parked! He is not very knowledgeable, when ask him about El Salvador's education. He is not very clear. His English is ok. It will be nice if the tour can go a local cafe store or bakery for break.
