Tour muy recomendable

Nuestro guía Diego nos explicó muy bien la historia de la ciudad y de los edificios más emblemáticos. Muy interesantes tambien las explicaciones sobre el cambio político y seguridad en el país. Diego fue muy amable y atento. Recomiendo hacer el tour si vienes a San Savador.

A must do for anyone coming to visit!

This tour was the best decision I made! Steffany was so wonderful and accommodating. Her knowledge of the city and history was unmatched and she kept a great pace for everyone to see and wander where we want to and move on when everyone was done. I never felt rushed and would absolutely do again.

Great overview of the country from foundation until today

The guide arrived 10 minutes late, which worried me a little, but after that I really, really enjoyed the tour. In addition to visiting the sites, there was great insight into the old as well as more recent history of El Salvador. I felt like I learned a great deal about the country and would definitely recommend to others.
