A lot of history - The tour was beautiful. So much history and I learned so much about my background. I felt truly blessed to be guided on this tour. Joshy and Cesar were my guides and we had an amazing time. Lunch was delicious and the coffee tasting was great. So much to see and so much to do. I also made an additional stop to Cafe Albania and did the Pendulum and the Bicycle. After lunch, we stopped at the Santa Teresa termales. Joshy and Cesar made me feel so comfortable and it felt like I was with friends.

Ruta de las Flores - We had a wonderful time on this tour with Melissa and our driver William. Melissa was amazing. She was sweet, patient and very knowledgeable. We learned so much about the little towns we visited. We went at our own pace. We were able to eat at the food market they had in Juayua. The coffee farm is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen! We loved everything about this tour. Thank you !

Life In Color - This was an excellent tour! Lizbeth was a lovely guide who was super knowledgeable and spoke perfect English. I was traveling solo, and this was the perfect way to see a part of El Salvador I would have otherwise missed on my work layover. San Salvador is cosmopolitan, so you would never guess that these tiny cobblestone-clad towns are a short drive away. From the hand-painted buildings to the vibrant flowers in town squares, when you live life in color, adventure emerges and you see humanity through a lens you’ve never bothered to look through before. Book the tour. Go!

Fantastic guide, rich history, beautiful sights - I did 2 tours on 2 different days with Jocelyn... Ruta de Las Flores with waterfall hike and San Salvador/El Boceron with pupusa tasting. Let me first sat how wonderful Jocelyn was, as well as our driver Cesar. I was the only one on the tour and Jocelyn was so attentive, warm, knowledgeable and fun! She helped me feel very comfortable being in the country by myself. Cesar is an excellent driver and was so caring... I got really car sick on the first day and he patiently and kindly sat with me until I felt better. These are two beautiful spirits and you are lucky if you get them as a pair for your tour! I learned a lot about the history of the small villages and the Nahua Pipil people. I was also able to learn about the more recent socio- political history (20th and 21st century) of El Salvador and San Salvador. Not to mention experiencing the most breathtaking Waterfalls and Volcano views I have ever seen in person! Plus Jocelyn helped me find the best local foods and drinks to try! This was an all around excellent experience and I highly recommend these two tours.
