I had a lovely time in El Salvador with my guide José Luis! Him and the driver picked me up right when my flight landed and showed me all around San Salvador. I got to see so many things in the short time I was in the country and learned so much! José was a wonderful guide and made sure I had a great experience! Thanks so much!
Excellent experience with EC Tours; all the tours and guides are very friendly, and they always offer several options to help in any situation.
had an amazing experience. My husband and I booked the tour during La Semana Santa, the Easter season, so we were able to enjoy unique sights in the city that can only be seen during this time. The restaurant they took us to served the best pupusas we’ve ever had. We were also given detailed explanations about the history and the volcanoes, which made the experience even more enriching. Since it was a private tour just for my husband and me, we had the chance to ask many questions and have great conversations. Both the guide and the driver were wonderful people—very friendly, and they made sure everything was safe and well-organized. This tour is absolutely worth it. I highly recommend it!
Insightful City Tour with a Scenic Boquerón Walk Wendy was a fantastic guide—super knowledgeable and easy to chat with. She shared a great mix of historical and current context as we explored San Salvador’s historic center, bringing the culture to life. The day wrapped up with a relaxed walk to the overlook at El Boquerón, which was a perfect, scenic finish. Highly recommend if you want a well-rounded, informative, and enjoyable city experience.
It was a great half-day tour, we enjoyed the experience overall. The national park, pupuzas and library were great
Very good experience. Nice guide - provided lots of information.
We had a great time with Alex! Thanks for showing us around San Salvador, Boqueron and of course, those tasty pupusas! Highly recommend this tour to everyone travelling to San Salvador.
My wife and I arrived on an early morning flight and needed something fun to do before our hotel check-in, and this tour was perfect. We dropped our bags at the hotel and met Arely early in the morning for an excellent walking tour through San Salvador. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the city feel welcoming right away. We especially enjoyed the coffee stops along the way — a great local touch. After the city tour, we drove up to El Boquerón National Park to see the volcano, and the views were incredible. The highlight was finishing with delicious pupusas while enjoying an amazing panoramic view of San Salvador — truly unforgettable. Everything was smooth and well-organized, and the timing worked out perfectly because we returned to the hotel right when our room was ready. Arely was fantastic and we would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting San Salvador — especially if you want to see a lot in one day with a great guide!
Lovely walk around town with lots of amazing information about the history, then super tasty pupusas then the beautiful national park. Wilman, our guide was fantastic!
Alex was my guide and I had a great day. Started with a short/easy hike with beautiful views, then we ventured into the chaos of the city. Alex gave me background of different areas, pointed other areas out (Mercado Central and other markets) that I might want to revisit during my stay. We had a nice coffee, nice lunch and nice convo. Highly recommend
