Rosa was very friendly and accommodating. Her car was clean and comfortable. This is a great tour to get out of the city, see some Mayan ruins and natural beauty.
Exceptional tour with Rosa! We wanted to come to El Salvador to explore and this tour hits all of the highlights. Ancient Mayan history, an awesome lunch at the crater of a volcano, and everything we wanted to see and do; all with a charismatic and knowledgeable guide. This tour focuses on a private group and really allows you to go far deeper into the history, culture and country.
Thank you for leaving this great review for Rosa´s work! We are really happy that you enjoyed your day exploring the Mayan Ruins in El Salvador. Many blessings and thank you again!!
The tour was amazing! Luis is the absolute best, if you can get him he will show you a good time. He went out of his way to show us the things we had requested and accommodated my mom’s disability. He also took photos for us and helped translate for us. We had the absolute best day due to him and also Fernando who organized the tour for us was really professional as well. I really liked this tour it was the perfect way to explore El Salvador! One day I just traveled by uber myself and that was way less enjoyable I wish I had booked a tour both days!
