Unforgettable San Salvador: City, Volcano & Pupusas!

My son and I had the best time touring San Salvador! William is the best. Very patient and kind with children. Definitely want to go back and see more of the country.

We used Perplexity to search for English-language tours that involve hiking, walking around and seeing the city, and learning about the country’s history. EC tours came up as one of the first results, and when we emailed them, they got back to us right away, we were able to pay in advance for our tours online, and they were always prompt and informative. We took three tours with this company (San Salvador city tour and Volcano; Mayan Archeological Sites; and Nawi Beach), and our tour guides were Wendy and Lisbeth, and our drivers were Manuel and Sandra. Everyone was really smart, capable, and fun. We will definitely be booking more tours with them next time we come to El Salvador.

From the moment Steve (best Translator in EL SALVADOR) met us at airport pick up our trip was improved. His personality is everything. Alessandro (best Driver in EL SALVADOR) was also cool. I messaged a week ago and got a response rather quickly to get a tour arranged for our group of 6. THANKS VANESSA!!! I was so happy they offered airport transport too. The guys worked hard and were very hospitable. We were so happy they accepted our invitation to have lunch with us during our tour.

Wendy was very knowledgeable and took my needs into consideration, we did exactly what I wanted and I learned so much, The views were amazing, and The driver William was always on point and appeared like magic whenever we needed him! El Salvador is a hidden gem and would recommend this tour to anyone who will listen.

Steven was an outstanding guide! My son and I truly enjoyed our day with him. He was friendly, kind, knowledgeable, and very patient with children, which made everything easier and more fun. We loved exploring the historic center, visiting El Boquerón National Park, and, last but not least, enjoying delicious pupusas and horchata. The tour itself is excellent, but Steven made it even more special. Highly recommended!

I had an amazing time exploring San Salvador, all thanks to Gabriel! From local history to hidden gems, he made the city come alive. The absolute highlight? The pupusas. Hands down the best I’ve ever had — fresh, flavorful, and unforgettable. Thank you for the warm hospitality, knowledge, and for introducing me to the heart (and taste) of El Salvador. Highly recommend!

Very good tour, my guide Wendy was very attentive and give a lot of insights on the history of the city and the hiking was pleasant. I definitely recommend doing it if it is your first time in El Salvador!

This is the perfect tour of the city of San Salvador and a gorgeous hike to a volcano followed by papusa tasting! I don’t usually like full day tours, but this was the right amount. Steve was delightful and knowledgeable and he kept the pace moving along. It was 8:30am-2:30pm. You get the history and some exercise and lunch!

This is a great tour to visit many highlight spots in the city of San Salvador and El Boquerón National Park, and to try pupusas with a great view of the city. Our guide did a great job making a nice route to walk around the city to visit the plazas, churches, and the amazing library. Afterward, we went to the National Park (be ready to walk many stair steps!), where we had a nice view of the volcano and the park area. We finished the tour at a restaurant where we had the pupusas, though I think I've had better ones in the city. The restaurant also has local coffee that you can purchase. Overall, it's a very nice tour to learn about San Salvador and enjoy a nice view of the city.

Wendy was so phenomenal. Very knowledgeable, passionate and patient. She loves her culture and her ancestry and it was on full display (despite her being under the weather). She shared her stories of travel and family. She was super witty. This was probably one of best experiences I have ever encountered!! THANK YOU Wendy
