Amazing City Experience! - This was our second activity with EC Tours and we got Lisbeth again as our guide as well as the same driver, Walter. It was another hit! They picked us up at our airbnb in Escalon and we it was just us, so very personal. Lisbeth was amazing again, taking us to several of the incredible churches in the city, sharing history and a lot of conversation about the country, culture and background that really gave a fuller picture of everything for us first-timers in El Salvador. We also checked out the brand new modern library - amazing - and walked around the city center quite a bit seeing the markets and other significant buildings. We then went up to El Boqueron and saw the crater and then stopped for a wonderful meal and view while up there. I enthusiastically recommend!

Great day! - Wonderful tour today! I did the tour on a Monday afternoon and my tour guide was Jocelyn. I ended up being the only guest so if was a one on one tour. Joc made me feel very comfortable and answered all my many questions. She also have her personal insight into growing up in Salvador. This was the best way to experience the city! Definitely do this tour before Santa Ana.

Can't Wait for Our Next Tour - We had a fantastic experience with guide David and driver Aless. David is a wealth of information about the history of San Salvador and we learned so much. Even though it was only a half day tour, it was not rushed and we felt like we had the opportunity to see and experience a lot. Planning to return for a longer trip next time so we can take a full day tour. Muchas gracias a David y Aless!

Excellent and fun tour! - We had Wendy as our guide and Alessandro as our driver. We were very pleased with our tour. We had some serious discussions, but we also laughed a lot. A very detailed tour of the major landmarks around the city. There was some flexibility if we wanted to check something out not on the itinerary. We loved it! A must tour if in San Salvador!

Incredible experience - I loved every moment of my tour, seeing and learning about the history of San Salvador, with an amazing and personable tour guide, Joshy. Being picked up at my hotel, and escorted around couldn't have been easier. We then went out of the city to hike up the valcano. It was incredible to sit at the top and have a café. Driving back down to enjoy papusas with a view over the entire valley. Lastly sliding down the famous rainbow slide. I highly recommend this tour if you only have a day, and Joshy for showing me her country and culture.

ITINERARY WAS NOT RUSHED
LOCATIONS WERE GREAT.
WE HAD A GREAT TIME EXPLORING THE CITY AND LEARNING ABOUT WHAT THE NEW EL SALVADOR IS , AND WHERE ITS HEADED IN THE FUTURE.
EL BOQUERON WAS QUITE MAJESTIC TOO.
