We both enjoyed it - Wendy did a great job in discussing the history of El Salvador during our walk through the park and the historical district of San Salvador. We both learned a lot and enjoyed finishing with the delicious pupusas. Shout out to Sandra for being a fun and friendly driver.

Excellent Service - If you are looking for an agency to coordinate your trip to El Salvador, do not hesitate to contact EC Tours. They really are a super reliable, helpful and above all punctual agency.
Our guides William and Wendy exceeded the expectations we had. They always kept in touch with us and very much watching that we enjoyed our stay in El Salvador.
I definitely recommend them.

Amazing tour - This walking tour was a really nice way to orient myself to El Salvador as a first-time visitor and a solo traveler. I am happy that the company was able to find a guide for me, as I booked this kinda late. They accommodated my schedule, which I am grateful for. My tour guide, Lisbeth, was so sweet and kind. She volunteered to take my pictures, which I appreciated as a solo traveler. She shared very helpful info about the city and the country as a whole. We stopped at the market, which was so great for me because I love buying fruits in different countries. I saw new varieties of mangoes (my favorite) and got to buy a bunch of stuff for really cheap prices. We also had a late lunch/early dinner at a pupuseria near my hotel, which I went back to multiple times; the pupusas were so good! I would highly recommend this tour.

Half-day walking tour of historic San Salvador. Then tasty food! - I only had one day to explore San Salvador and this walking tour was the perfect way to see the highlights. I was picked up and dropped off right at my hotel. My guide Lisbeth was knowledgeable, engaging, and friendly and made the time fly by. We saw so much … parks, plazas, churches, old buildings, new buildings. Then we capped the time off with at a restaurant to try Pupusas. My guide explained all the flavors and even showed me how locals eat them. Perfect way to spend 1/2 day.

This was more an escorted... - This was more an escorted walk than a walking tour. Whatever explanation was given was lost, tour guide’s voice was very low, hard to hear. Recommend using a microphone and speaker. Not many questions answered. Not very well organized. Pick up from hotel was on time, driver communicated very well. Pupusas were good.
