Stephanie is a great guide! Ask for her - Stephanie is a very knowledgeable guide. She knew everything. We also asked to do a couple things off your and she was very amenable. The volcano visit was great. Overall one of the best tours we went on ever and we have been to more than 40 countries!

Wonderful tour - Suchitoto exceeded every expectation. This gem of a colonial city paired with the ancient energy of the Mayan ruins creates an experience that is equal parts beautiful, historical, and deeply moving. Walking through spaces that ancient civilizations called home, feeling the weight and wisdom of that history beneath your feet, is something that simply cannot be replicated anywhere else.
What made this experience truly exceptional was our tour guide, Alfredo. Absolutely the best. His knowledge of the history and culture was comprehensive, detailed, and delivered with a genuine passion that made every site come alive. He didn't just share facts, he told stories that connected you to the people who walked these lands long before us. Informative, engaging, and always present, Alfredo made sure our group was safe throughout the entire journey without ever making it feel restrictive.
If you are visiting El Salvador and you absolutely should, do yourself a favor and book Alfredo. He is the kind of guide who transforms a good trip into an unforgettable one.
El Salvador is a hidden treasure. Suchitoto is its crown jewel. And Alfredo is the key that unlocks all of it.

A Great Week With EC Tours - We had another great vacation thanks to EC Tours El Salvador! Our tour guide, Steffany, and driver Sandra truly made our trip so enjoyable and full of laughter. Everything was perfect, from the volcano hiking, Mayan ruins, sightseeing and relaxing at the beach EC Tours took care of everything for us. EC Tours is the only tour company I will use when I visit El Salvador again and again and again. Thank you so much!!!

Mayan Ruin Experience - Good Experience with Alfredo Diaz. I enjoyed my time and we were able to see the three Mayan sites, the beautiful Lake Coatepeque, and Santa Ana downtown.

A positive experience! - EC Tours El Salvador delivered a private tour that covered some of the top tourist attractions. Ruta Las Flores, Cerro Verde National Park, Coatepeque Lake, Mayan Archaelogical Sites, San Salvador City and Pupusas Tasting and the Museo de la Palabra y la ImagenThe online communication with Vanessa (Administration) went well for making the arrangements.
Gerson was an excellent guide - very knowledgeable, helpful and pleasant; and Walter was a good natured, wonderful driver who provided safe and comfortable transport. They were a great team.
For a positive experience EC Tours El Salvador should be considered by anyone wishing to visit this country.

Enjoyable day trip but might not my favourite tour - This is our 3rd tour with the company. The arrangement great and fast via whatsapp. Our guide Joycelyn was very punctual within the pick up time and flexible drop off in the city. Joycelyn is very friendly and flexible. Her English is very good and we enjoyed hearing her experience. We enjoyed the explanation and 3 Mayan sites. Though the sites are not as spectacular as the ones in Mexico and Belize.
