Amazing experience in El Salvador - Our tour of El Salvador was an unforgettable experience. Diego, our guide, showed great willingness and deep knowledge at all times. He explained in detail about the Salvadoran culture and especially the coffee during the visit to the estate — an educational and very interesting experience.
We also enjoyed the hot springs of Santa Teresa, a perfect place to relax surrounded by nature. And the charming city of Ataco, with its colorful murals, crafts and local Mood, was another highlight of the tour.
Diego’s passion and kindness made the whole day even more special. Highly recommended!

Call this the Diego tour! - Diego was seriously the best tour guide I’ve ever had. From the start he was super welcoming and made the whole experience feel easy and fun. He’s not just knowledgeable (which he totally is) but he knows how to share the history and stories in a way that feels engaging and not like a lecture.
What I loved most was how thoughtful he was with our group, checking in, making sure the pace worked, and adding little touches that made it feel special. It honestly felt less like a “tour” and more like exploring the El Salvador with a friend who happens to know everything about it.
If you get the chance to book I hope you get Diego. You’ll come away with not just cool facts and amazing memories, but a guide who genuinely cares about making your day unforgettable.

Caffe albania what a beauty - We were on a tour here at the caffe albania in el Salvador we were very curious to know what this place would be like very curious and fascinating from the name so far being Albanian then this place was born as a small bar that gradually develops into an atracción for tourists the property decided to put this name after a trip made to Albania where she remains fascinated by the country of the eagles and decided that the name of her business would be caffe albania #skydream_1982 this is the Instagram account where you can see more videos of the place that I must say make it worth visiting them

A good choice - What a fun time! I would recommend. It’s a cool experience and I’d say a tourist staple for visiting El Salvador. Gabi our tour guide was super nice.
It’s a small tour. It was only myself and two others. Being small was nice as we didn’t wait long for the attractions. It was also cool meeting new people!

Beautiful places if you're not overweight, however you will pay extra so this fee is generally for transportation - The operator was a very nice guy with a lot of information and much appreciative of the entire transportation method, however due to the unexplained nature of the trip - I would recommend just paying for the driver. For any activities at Cafe Albania, there is a strict weight limit for all rides that I was not aware of. Therefore I was not allowed to participate in what I paid for. The tour only pays for the slide - anything else you have to pay for was extra. Therefore, I lost out on that money. For the Ataco town, I felt that the time there was rushed due to the time we needed to get to the last stop was the hot springs. I was in the hot springs all of 15 minutes before I was told it was time to go. Had I known that our time was limited, I would have not done that part. The sauna at the hot springs was not working so we just rubbed mud on and sat in water. Also, we were charged when we came into the hot springs because the meal option was extra, however the tour guide coerced us into paying for this package, but I was confused because there was no refund for me paying the entrance. I honestly felt like I was scammed and ended up paying more money and my fee for using Viator was simply for transportation.
