Description

Visiting San Salvador nowadays is a must, after all of the changes we have had for the last 7 years we can assure you will find a very modern and fast growing city.

We will visit Parque Cuscatlan where we will meet at, the church of ¨Sagrado Corazon¨, we will visit the Hospital area, walk through a university campus, taste the food and drinks of the central market, get to kilometer 0 where we will see the national palace, metropolitan cathedral, public library, Gerardo barrios plaza, Morazan plaza and at the end you will be able to discover libertad plaza by yourself (Rosario Church $2.00 entrance fee per person - optional).

We will have a great tour, we will laugh and best of all we will make new friends.

Important reminders about this tour:
PS: Please bring some sort of skirt if you bring shorts to cover your legs, so you can come into some of the churches if you are a lady.
On Mondays, Cuscatlan Park is closed, so we will meet at the main entrance located at Alameda Franklyn D. Roosevelt next to the bus stop.

Amazing tour

We had an amazingly interesting tour with our wonderful guide Adrian Romero who not only showed us most interesting places in San Salvador, and told about history of the country but also shared with us his personal experiences reflecting life and growth of beautiful country of El Salvador.

You have to explore San Salvador with Dave

The tour was super interesting and Dave knows so much about his City and its history. You visit all the important places and he explains you everything in a funny, but very teaching way! Highly recommend doing your tour here!

Best Tour in San Salvador!

We had the very best time with Dave. It was fun, super informative and he is just a very wonderful guide. Can only recommend!

Highly recommend!

Dave was the best. I always take tours of new destinations on my first day to get a lay of the land and some context and history, and this is exactly what I wanted. He accommodated for my late arrival due to traffic, and was able to explain decades of history and culture in a short period of time without ever making it feel overwhelming. It was fun, educational, and covered a lot of topics. Definitely recommend!
