Amazing Day Trip from San Salvador to Antigua with an Outstanding Guide" - I did a tour from San Salvador to Antigua, in Guatemala, and it was an excellent experience. Our guide, Gaby, was super attentive, punctual and always willing to help at all times, which made the tour very comfortable and pleasant. Antigua is a charming city, full of history, color and a unique atmosphere that is really worth knowing. Spending the day there was a very enriching experience and I definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to make the most of their visit to the region. Thanks to Gaby for making this ride such a special day. 🌟

Just book it already - I love being able to maximize my trips by visiting multiple countries. This was a great opportunity for that! Roberto was our guide. He is so knowledgeable and very educated. He speaks 5 languages and knows all about history! Bring your passport! & prepare for a long day in the car. Maybe bring a pillow to take a nap on the drive back. Small group. Just myself and another girl. Antigua was super safe and has beautiful architecture. It’s been in my bucket list forever! Definitely worth it.

Immerse yourself in the history of La Antigua - This tour was everything I hoped for and more! My guide (Gaby) was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and organized, making the entire experience smooth and stress-free…even as we crossed an international border and back. Immigration was a breeze thanks to how well everything was planned. The city itself was vibrant and full of life, with rich culture and history around every corner. From start to finish, the tour was informative, engaging, and seamless. I learned so much and felt completely at ease the entire time. If you’re considering this tour, do it! The guide, the company, and the overall experience were excellent. I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone looking to explore the area in a meaningful and worry-free way.

Don't do it - Do not sign up for this excursion. As they will cancel very last minute. I planned my trip around this event for them to cancel last minute with no real reason was very disheartening
