Ruta de las flores - Went on this tour with a family member and had a great day visiting towns, checking out a market and sampling foods. The lunch and walking through a coffee farm were a highlight. Our guide William was helpful and patient explaining things to us and also organized for us to visit the thermal waters and get a massage!

Ruta de las Flores for the win! - My husband and I had an amazing time with the dynamic duo of Wendy and Sandra. They were super welcoming, kind and flexible. We opted to take an excursion to give our family a break and they definitely felt like family. Wendy also took amazing photos and was so helpful with guidance at the artisan shopping. Sandra was an expert driver and knew her way around the traffic like the back of her hand. Such a great experience, you definitely won’t regret it! We will definitely come back to try other tours and are making special requests for both of them!

Amazing tour, lovely day - Beautiful tour! Our guide was very nice, informative, and so willing to take my photos! The tour itself is very pretty and it's a great opportunity to observe all the nice landscape in El Salvador and to learn more about the country. Lunch stop was also great and the restaurant was beautiful and had a nice outdoor setting you could explore while waiting for your meal. The little towns that we stopped at were also super cute and I loved visiting the Mayan market, where we got to sample different fruits and buy souvenirs. I especially liked the stop at the coffee farm. Everything was great. I would highly recommend this to anyone; I think it's a good intro to El Salvador.

Book now!! - Steve was an amazing guide. Lots of fun, very knowledgeable, very accommodating, and an all around good guy. We would love to have him on every tour. We learned a lot about El Salvador and got to try a lot of exotic fruits, good food, and tasty coffee. We also got to find great souvenirs and see the volcanos. Love Steve. He told us that Salvadorians love Black Americans and we were able to tell and felt honored. Lunch was amazing and very fresh. We would love to visit El Salvador again in the future. Steve was absolutely awesome and make this trip worth every penny.

Best tour + tour guide!!! - The tour was amazing! It was cool to see the different towns and taste different foods. However, what really made the tour was our guide Steve and driver Sandra. Steve was incredibly personable. It was clear he was proud of his country and he wanted us to experience all El Salvador had to offer! He personalized certain aspects on the tour per our wants which made the tour even more memorable. You definitely want to do this tour, but you DEFINITELY want to do it with Steve and Sandra!!!

Great adventures for a 6-yr old & mom - My 6-year old son and I had the BEST time with a 4-day private tour all over El Salvador and great for a younger child. We were delighted with our dedicated team because they were so customer-centric! Our guide LISBETH was the BEST guide for kids and adults, teaching Spanish, helping take photos, guarding our things, attention to details, and giving great recommendations. She was proactive and I would highly recommend using Lisbeth. She and the Driver ALESANDRO were a great team — he was attentive, thought ahead, helped with photos, and even treated my son to some amusement park rides and a fabulous driver. WILLIAM & MANUEL were also very courteous drivers.
The customized itinerary was well planned for my family and I couldn’t be happier with the activities for my son at Lake Illopango and the water park and lake, Ataca rainbow slide and swing, thermal hot spring pools, amusement park rides at the beach, surf lessons at San Blas beach and the pool at the restaurant after. All super amazing. Highly recommend!

Best Tour Company in El Salvador - EC Tours San Salvador is an incredible tour company. I booked 3 tours with them:
- Santa Ana & Lake Coatepeque
- Ruta de las Flores with coffee farm and Cafe Albania
- Suchitoto and lake Ilopango
Gerson, my tour guide for all 3 days, was a fantastic guide. He was very knowledgeable regarding the history of El Salvador, the geographical area and fun facts about the visited areas/country. He was very professional and didn’t rush us throughout all tours. On each tour, he proposed an off the beaten path option which ended up being some of my favorite experiences on the tours. His English & of course Spanish was at full proficiency. So it was really easy to communicate with Gerson.
We wouldn’t have made it far without our precision drivers, Sandra & Nelson. I’m not sure if you are familiar with El Salvador’s traffic/roads. Sandra & Nelson both provided a smooth & safe ride to all our destinations.
Overall, I really enjoyed taking tours with EC Tours San Salvador. Vanessa managed my reservations. The level of communication from all team members was extraordinary. The tours always started on time. The company will work with you to help customize the tours. I really appreciated the fact that the tour groups were small. (Under 8 people) In my case, we were 2 on my first tour, 3 on my second tour and alone on my last one. It allowed for a customized/intimate tour. I highly recommend booking your tours with EC Tours San Salvador.
The next time I visit, I plan on doing the following tours with them:
Seven waterfalls and hot springs
Mayan ruins
El Tunco surf city tour
Tips: Bring some cash, sunscreen, water, comfortable shoes and swim trunks for the lake tours.
