Excellent tour - Carlos is an excellent guide and he ensured that everything was explained in both English and Spanish. He took care to keep everything on schedule and made sure there was time to answer all of our questions. The tour was well organized and it was a day packed with lots of information- very informative and interesting. I'd highly recommend the tour to anyone with an interest in the history of El Salvador.

Fascinating Mayan History Tour - This tour was great! Alfredo Diaz was a lovely tour guide with much knowledge of Mayan history in the region. I appreciated the in-depth look at a variety of Mayan sites in El Salvador, each very different and worth seeing. Joya de Cerén is the highlight with a fascinating volcanic history and a look into the lives of ordinary Mayans. None of the sites are massive like you might see at Tikal/Chichen Itza but interesting and well-paced. I would strongly recommend!

Best Tour for Mayan Sites - The guided tour of volcanoes, lakes, and Mayan sites in San Salvador, led by Adonis, was an awesome way to discover El Salvadors natural beauty and cultural history. Adonis was very knowledgeable, making the experience memorable. The tour size are very small, which makes it a pleasant experience.
