Oscar was a fantastic guide. Very knowledgable, and a genuinely friendly person. You can tell he loves what he does. I highly recommend this tour as you will learn a lot about the incredibly interesting history of El Salvador.

Wonderful experience with an amazing tour guide who is knowledgeable and friendly. Took this tour with my wife who was born in El Salvador and we both learned so much and took great pictures.

This was an awesome tour, specifically the Joya de Ceren ruins. They call it the "Pompeii of South America" because everything was covered beneath layers of volcanic ash, so it's perfectly preserved. Because of this, you're able to see normal houses and living buildings, not just massive stone temples. After that we went and saw some other sites, the last one in Tazumal was really well preserved too, this is a huge stone temple. If you're into history and ruins, this is a great tour and our guide Roberto was very knowledgeable and spoke fluent English.

This was an incredible tour. I learned so much about the mayans and went all over to different sites. The tour guide was knowledgeable and incredibly nice. My mom really connected with the tour and we were able to see the national bird the Torogoz. We ended the day to a beautiful view of the lake and wonderful food.

Great trio of Maya sites, each quite different. Our lunch overlooking a volcanic caldera lake was awesome. Our guide was excellent.

Our trip with Francisco was awesome. Francisco was very informative and knowledgeable about the mayan ruins and history. He also played some of the traditional music and allowed us to try chocolate. I 10/10 would recommend this your with him
