Great views, great guide! - Osmaro was a very personable, friendly and accommodating guide. He was very knowledgeable, and showed us some additional locations along the way (he asked us to make sure that we had time and were interested first,) We had a great time, and the views were stunning. I recommend this trip wholeheartedly.

Lovely tour guide and beautiful places - The tour is quite comprehensive and the tour guide, Herbert, was very sweet and accommodating. I would note that the tour will likely be longer than the 6 hours advertised- it ended up almost 11 hours for us. Not an issue as we got to do more activities than expected, but it was long. also note that Boqueron requires some significant steps upward.

Amazing Volcano and Charming Town! - Amazing views of El Boquerón, with the best picture spots recommended by our tour guide Osmaro! Then Suchitoto was so beautiful and colorful! Osmaro is so fun, nice and helpful! What an awesome combo tour! It was a great first experience outside of the city of San Salvador for my family!

Fun day with a great guide. - I highly recommend this company. Osmaro, our guide was absolutely brilliant! He picked us up and took us to see Sochitoto and back safely. He has an excellent command of the English language and a vast knowledge of El Salvadorian history. He explained everything in detail and was able to answer all of our questions. A very socialable and accommodating guide. I only wish that we could have gone on another day trip with him. A great day.

Exceeding my expectations - I went on this tour and it turned into a surprise tour of the history of El Salvador with live interviews from people on the front lines of the civil war! I honestly didn’t expect much from El Salvador at all but this company showed me around and exceeded my expectations to the point that I will be returning with much much more time next time!

Fun tour! Would do again - This was a good tour led by Rafael [Rafa]. It ended up being a bit longer than originally scheduled because 1) there was just sooo much traffic on the freeway between El Boqueron and Suchitoto, and 2) because Rafa made the trip personalized for me and the other person on the tour. I liked that. He made sure to point out the things we seemed interested in most. We starterd with the rainbow slide at Picnic Steak House. I saw this while I was researching things to do in El Salvador - and because the line for the slide can get really long, we did it first. We were the first ones to ride it that morning! That set off the tour in such a positive way. Then we explored the volcano and El Boquero National Park, which was lovely. Then we made our way to Suchitoto. We stopped at this awesome restaurant [Cafe 1800] that had an amazing view of Lake Suchitlan. The food was good and very inexpensive. Then we toured the city, and even got a nice watermelon ice cream. After that we went off to Downtown San Salvador and walked around listening to the music and watching the locals dance. It was amazing. I really did have a great tour. Thank you Rafa.
