A perfect day in San Salvador - Starting with a very reasonable pick up time of 9 am, Steve led our massive group of 20 (with 10 kids!) on an amazing tour of San Salvador’s downtown sites, including the Centro Historico, the brand new BINAES library, a street market, anthropological museum, cathedrals, Iglesia El Rosario (pictured), Plaza Libertad, and much more. Oh, the pupusas. Don’t sleep on the bus karaoke on the way back to the beach. Steve, you rocked and leaned into our group’s crazy 🇨🇦 energy. We hope to be back soon!

Downtown San Salvador and El Boqueron - Steve was a great guide and gave us a lot of insight into the history of EL Salvador. The views of the El Boqueron volcano and national park were amazing. Highly recommend.

Gerson crushes it! - Gerson was amazing. He was very flexible and personable. He also gave me good tips. After the tour, I traveled to Apaneca and had Sopa de Gallina at a restaurant he recommended. Gerson also showed me how to eat papusas. It was so much fun. I highly recommend this tour especially if you want a little introduction to the city.

Great comprehensive city tour! - Our guide was absolutely lovely (Jocelyn). She took us all around the city, showing us the landmarks and explaining the cultural context. She gave us a lot of insight that we wouldn't have gotten otherwise on our own. The pupusas at the end were a great way to rest a little after all that walking. Would definitely recommend.
