We will meet at the BINAES, ( National Library of El Salvador ). In the lobby area there is a cafeteria, right next to it, there are some good and comfortable couches and the place has a good air conditioning where I will wait for you. I will be with a small salvadorean flag with a nice smile.

Great Guide and Great Food! - This was such a fun experience! Thank you to Adrian for taking us to great spots and sharing about the history and culture of El Salvador along the way. He was personable and kept us laughing throughout the tour. I highly recommend this tour as a way to learn more about El Salvador through food! I'll be thinking about those garlic and cheese pupusas for awhile...

David is the best! - Our guide David was fantastic. His love for El Salvador and Salvadorians was evident in the way he talked about the places and the food. His life experiences and knowledge of history really helped us to understand El Salvador better. Highly recommend any tour with David.

Amazing El Salvador! - David was amazing. He not only took us to a variety of places to try the local soaps, chicken dishes, and sweet treats, he gave us a lot of information about the history and current initiatives happening in El Salvador. He is very proud of the work being done and made us excited to come back and witness some of the infrastructure changes that will make traveling across El Salvador easier to see in the future. Also I was too full to eat all of the food...LOL. It was great!

Good Introduction to San Salvador - Good tour to learn about food, culture, and some history. The tour stops at various restaurants where you can choose from the menu with advice from the guide. The food in general is very good, especially if you have had Salvadorean food in the past. Everyone's experience may be different because the tastings aren't fixed. The market portion was brief, which is all the time you really need on a tour. It gives an idea of what markets have to offer and you can go back to shop at your leisure.
