San Salvador city tour and volcano. - Loved this tour. The volcano was an easy trek and we got great photos. Downtown San Salvador was great to see. Glad we had someone with us to share it. We also tried papusas the first time with Ricardo and it was incredible. Ricardo was a great tour guide and very kind to us. We left some things in his car and he returned it to us. He also gave us great suggestions in the area. Thankful for such a kind and knowledgeable tour guide. Thanks again Ricardo!

Worth it - The tour was a great way to see some of El Salvador on our layover. Osmaro was a super greta guide! He was very professional and kind. He taught us a lot about the history and culture of El Salvador.

The best city tour! - Osmaro or you can call him “Ozzy”, was my first introduction to El Salvador. He was waiting outside with my name at the airport and as soon as I met him, I felt safe and knew it was going to be a great tour. Ozzy asked me what I wanted to eat and do and we did everything on my list! He is also a great photographer! So don’t be shy to ask him to take photos. He is very easy to talk to and his English was perfect. Thank you so much for my first experience in El Salvador! I came here as a solo female traveler and cannot speak Spanish and I had no issue. I will be back sooner than you think.

Great for a long layover - Osmaro was fantastic. From meeting me at the airport, to sharing his extensive knowledge of El Salvador and it’s people, this is a great way to get to know this special place.

Best Layover tour!! - Rafael was a great tour guide for our 1 day lay over! It was highly personalized based on our interests and what we wanted to do in the country. He provides such valuable insight to El Salvador's history. It truly felt like I spent a couple days in El Salvador rather than just a couple of hours. Also, Rafi takes some of the best pictures I have seen!

Best Layover! - Contacted Eco Tours Petate at the airport asking if a tour was available and they were quick to respond that a tour was available. Was given clear directions on how exactly to go through customs/immigration for a stopover. Guide was informative and charismatic. I felt like we got to see a lot of the city in a short amount of time. Also went to el Boquerón which was fantastic, ate lunch and did the slide at Picnic. The ride back to the airport was very smooth and I got back through security and immigration within five minutes! 10/10 recommend if you have a long layover in San Salvador!

Excellent experience - I booked 3 different tours (layover, Guatemala, and San Salvador city) with Eco Tours. Both Rafael and Osmaro were always punctual to each activity. They were also accommodating to my schedule. Excellent storytelling, gave me great recommendations for food and places to visit, even took awesome pictures and videos. I will definitely recommend them.
