Awesome experience - Lisbeth was wonderful. She has a great knowledge of all things San Salvador. Her English was perfect, unlike my Spanish! Although it was a lengthy walk, we stopped often and it was easy to rest in shaded areas.

Super friendly company and tourguides! - This company amazed me even before I got to El Salvador as I made a major mistake by booking it for the wrong date. They changed it without any problem even after all the past deadlines! The owner was very friendly and acommodating. The tourguide was super friendly too. This tours takes you across all major signts in the historical center of San Salvador and leaves plenty of room for photos, exploration and a meal.

Book a tour and Have a Blast! - Wow!!! I did not know what to expect when I got this tour! But ALEX did a phenomenal job in welcoming me to El Salvador and showing me the historic downtown. I got to learn about various topics while we walk and talk about topics that have to do with how life is in El Salvador. We went inside churches and around Plazas. Also ALEX was great in taking photos. Oh and how can I forget we have an amazing time eating pupusas and him showing me how to properly eat them. Super delicious. Overall it was a 5 stars on the tour, the learning and the overall cultural experience. Highly recommend you check this tour out!

Highly Recommended - Mel is an excellent guide. She communicated with me in advance to confirm pick up. She and Alessandro arrived on time to start the tour. She is very knowledgeable about the history of El Salvador and San Salvador. She pointed out things that I would not have noticed on my own and we had pleasant conversation during the tour. I highly recommend this tour.

Nice and sweet tour of downtown San Salvador - Excellent choice for those visitors hoping to get a quick glimpse of some of the important sights in downtown San Salvador. The pupusas were very tasty! My tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. It was great being amidst locals as they busied about their day, and later hanging in the various parks enjoying the end of the day! I highly recommend this tour.

Created one of my fav memories of trip - We had such a blast with Wendy! I really valued the information she gave us about the country and city of San Salvador. We had so much fun and really glad we took that tour, plus the pupusa’s were so insanely good. My favorite part was that we took a walk through a local market and saw this local hangout spot in the middle. When the tour was over we went back and had beers with locals and it was actually one of my favorite memories of our trip. I would have honestly never found that spot without the tour & Wendy. I highly recommend taking this tour.
