Perfect day, perfect guide - Adonis was my driver and was very punctual! He told me I was the only person on the tour which was great! We set off and did the typical route backwards as there was a special festival. Adonis was super knowledgable and friendly, we discussed many things about the country plus in general! We managed to visit all 5 of the towns and stopped to view one of the Mayans scared trees. This trip felt very laid back but also very informative so a wonderful balance! I felt lucky that Adonis was my guide and cannot recommend him enough!

Las Flores , recommended route - Amazing tour , to know every town is to know the essence of El Salvador. The guide Adonis showed a lot of knowledge of every village on the route.

Highly recommended - A very interesting and pleasant visit, the villages have a lot of attraction, in all of them you want to eat something typical and there is possibility to do shopping. The guide was very dynamic and did not fail to provide much data on the customs, history, natural environment and culture of the country. I ended up exhausted, the day got long, it’s a long time in the car and especially I found the lap very heavy, but you enjoy it a lot equally. I find it a highly recommended activity for visitors who want to know El Salvador.

A pleasant tour with many plus!!! - I had the great fortune of having a Raul Pineda guide of experience and passion for his work. He and Omar (driver) made my day of adventure through Salvadoran lands very enjoyable.

Incredible mountain town tour! - Adonis was an incredible guide for our tour. He drove us through mountain towns to the El Carmen coffee plantation where we had a tour of the coffee making process. The tour ended with a tasting and an opportunity to buy some coffee. Along the way, Ado was very informative, answering our questions and sharing information about the country and the people. He speaks English very well and was very patient with us if we wanted to spend more or less time somewhere. Would highly recommend this tour... but recommend leaving from San Salvador vs a beach town since it can be a longer drive.

Not worth time or money - 4 was too many stops. The tour guide only had anything to say at the first stop. The second one he read some information off a sign but other than that was just along for the ride. After the second stop I was ready to go home. To me was a waste of a day of vacation. Would have been okay if it was half a day but a whole day was not worth it. The group I was with shared the same opinions.

A disappointing day trip to routa de flores - The trip was too long due to pick ip and drop off from different locations. One of the small towns would have been enough. The guide’s english and his ability to explain was limited. Even though the coffee plantation is part of the title of the trip he did not take us to any on his own. When we asked him he stopped by the road to show us a coffee tree. It was not worth to invest a whole day in it. I don’t recommend it
