Amazing day in San Salvador - Our first time in El Salvador. Our tour started at the beautiful park. Lisbeth Bernal was our tour guide. She was very informative and knowledgeable about the culture and history of the country. We learned a lot from her. In this tour, we visited four different churches. Each one of them has a unique characteristic. As a Catholic, we really loved the experiences. El Rosario church really stood out among the four we saw. We also visited the National Library and after that we proceeded to have Pupusa for lunch , and had a taste of Horchata. Everything was excellent. We had a great time! Thank you so much Lisbeth for such a great tour guide. I recommend this tour to everyone!

Worth having this tour and highly recommend! - We had a such a wonderful city tour with an excellent guide LizBeth. She sent me a WhatsApp message a day before about the tour’s schedule and what to bring, etc., so it was very good communication. She speaks perfect English and her explanation was very clear. She shared a lot of information about the history, background and people which were all great education to us. We didn’t know it was a private tour as we thought it was a group tour, so it was a good to have all her attention to us. She showed us the all key important spots and they are actually hard to find all by ourselves, so it was great that she took us there efficiently with great knowledge shared. She has a great energy with passion and positiveness. At the end, we went to a local restaurant to try the national food Pupusas. We really enjoyed our time to get to know the city of San Salvador and we highly recommend this tour with a guide LizBeth! Thank you!

My experience in El Boqueron - As in all the tours I went with your company, I was very lucky to have the guide William. In addition to making each tour a rewarding experience, his person is very fantastic, as he demonstrates a great mastery in his knowledge of the areas to which he leads one and turns out to be a very understanding, respectful and accommodating being, because if one wants to try something new, he pleases one. I would definitely use sys services again.

Amazing work by the best president in the world today - Amazing Experience in the Historic District of San Salvador** Visiting the historic district of San Salvador has been an incredible and enlightening experience. The vibrant energy and the warmth of the people are truly heartwarming. It's inspiring to see how life has blossomed in this area, especially knowing the challenges the community faced in the past. After the dark and difficult days following the civil war, it's uplifting to witness how the city has transformed into a space of peace and renewal. The colorful streets, rich culture, and resilience of the locals make this district a must-visit. It's a testament to the strength and hope of the people, and a reminder of the beauty that comes after hardship. I highly recommend spending time here if you want to truly connect with the heart of El Salvador.
