El Salvador is a mist visit destination. - We had such an amazing experience with EC Tours in El Salvador! From start to finish, everything was well organized and truly memorable. We visited beautiful towns, explored stunning coffee farms, and enjoyed some of the most delicious food — every stop felt authentic and special. A huge thank you to our tour guide, Steffany. She truly made our trip exceptional. She was knowledgeable, kind, professional, and made us feel comfortable the entire time. Her passion and energy made every place we visited even more meaningful. This tour is absolutely a must if you’re visiting El Salvador. Thank you, EC Tours, for such a wonderful experience. We hope to return again someday

Amazing Tour Experience - I had such a great time on this tour. Arely our tour guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and made every stop feel meaningful. You could tell Arely really cared about creating a memorable experience for everyone. Belis our driver was just as impressive — safe, smooth driving the entire way and such a friendly presence. The two of them worked so well together that the whole day felt effortless. I left with new memories, fun stories, and a deeper appreciation for the places we visited. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a well-organized, enjoyable, and stress-free experience. Gracias Arely!!!

Best day trip - My daughter and I spent 11 days in El Salvador and went on many tours. This was a favorite! We got way more out of the tour than expected. When they say full day, they mean full day. Our guide added such personal touches and went out of her way to make every tourist feel important. This is an excursion that we remember most.

Ruta de Flores for the win! - What a wonderful experience. I booked the tour before with no issue. The van picked me up exactly at the time they confirmed. The group of individuals on the tour was a lovely and diverse mix of individuals from America, Australia, and the US. Arely was an amazing tour guide- so informative and friendly. The driver was exceptional too. Note that Ruta de Flores references the coffee plants and not actual flowers. During the tour, you visit many small towns with beautiful churches, and lots of locally made crafts, as well as crafts from other central American states. I would highly recommend this trip.

Enjoyable Tour - A long and full day once we were picked up from our hotel so be prepared. Having said that the tour was very good, with very interesting stop off points at local towns. Beautiful architecture and churches. Our guide was very knowledgeable and informative about the history and culture. We enjoyed the experience.

HORRIBLE tour, horrible guide, horrible driver - I wouldn't call this a guided tour, as our guide gave us very little information. She gave maybe a 4 second blurb (I am not at all exaggerating) on each location and basically encouraged us to shop at the local market at each location, except the coffee farm/restaurant. It was expected to get a lot more information. The tour was basically a drive around the country side and through a couple of villages. Even the coffee farm was a let down, we tasted two different types of coffee they had, and I basically had to explain to the rest of the groups how coffee is processed and how it's supposed to be brewed, roasted and tasted and even elaborated on the geography of coffee in general. I gave the group more information about the areas than the so-called guide. The tour should, if that's what it can be called, should have cost about 35$ per person, not 90. On another note, the driver was completely reckless and put everyone's life in danger several times. Everyone in the group feared for the safety and lives. Overall, I was highly disappointed in this tour and absolutely recommend AGAINST booking it.
