A little bit of history and nature. - Great experience. They contacted us the day before to confirm pickup. Our guide, Alfredo, also contacted the morning of to make sure we knew where to meet. Alfredo was a great guide. He talked about the history and culture of El Salvador as we traveled in the van. Our driver Jorge was great too. Alfredo had quite a few questions from our group and he was able to answer all thoughtfully. We really liked getting to know more about the country this way.

Great tour! - Great tour! I had a lot of fun on this trip and would definitely recommend it. My tour guide Alfredo was super kind and helpful, and all the archeological sites are super interesting. The hike up the volcano is also super fun, but definitely make sure you are wearing appropriate shoes and clothes.

Great way to condense surrounding things to see into a single day - Really enjoyed Alfredo Diaz. Awesome guide. He really added a meaningful perspective. Sites were well worth the visit. I had one day to explore San Salvador area and am very pleased with the experience.

Great way to see many things in one day - Overall the tour was great. Alfredo was very knowledgeable and quite funny too. I hurt my ankle taking a wrong step, and had to be carried out of the volcano, and taken to a hospital , which is where the tour for me ended compared to other other people in the group. But Alfredo did everything he could to get me the help I needed and sent me photos of the view I missed . Just an FYI , additional fee of $20 cash if getting picked up from the beach (El tunco) with a 1-1.5 hr drive to meet up with the other people in the city.

I highly recommend this trip - We had this tour with the guide Alfredo Diaz. It was very interesting what he told all about the country and people of El Salvador. Likewise, he explained many interesting things about visiting Yova de Ceren, San Andres. He was very familiar with plants and trees and explained much in the Cerro Verde National Park, as well as the numerous volcanoes and the Largo de Coatepeque. So I got a great impression

Excellent tour to the myan ruins and volcanos - It was so enjoyable. Our guide was Alfredo and the driver Jorge. They were both so knowledgeable about the area we toured and so helpful with other areas to visit. I would recommend Viator and our tour guide.

Wonderful tour - A synthesis tour of some of the main routes, bringing together history, archaeology, nature, close view of volcanoes and lake. The guide Alfredo besides well informed, is attentive, kind. The restaurant house 1800 is wonderful and offers view to the valleys, volcanoes and lake. On the way back we still stopped p to buy fruits in the kiosk with the gentle service during the seven-day stay in El Salvador.
