Brilliant Experience - Every single aspect of this tour was amazing. Guide Lisbeth emailed the night before confirming the pickup time at our hotel. The van arrived on-time and we were delighted by Lisbeth's perfect English. She impressed us with her extensive knowledge, bright and fun attitude, and her willingness to engage in conversation on a variety of subjects as we traversed the stops. We were fortunate that the weather was also very cooperative, especially at Cerro Verde. Stunning vistas! Further, I want to thank Lisbeth for easily accommodating my very annoying food allergy. The sites we visited were genuinely incredible, making this a fun and worth-while tour regardless of the guide, but Lisbeth made the experience that much better. We cannot possibly recommend this tour and the tour company any more. When we return to El Salvador, we will most definitely do more tours with EC and hopefully Lisbeth.

Excellent walk with an excellent guide! - The walk to the archaeological sites, Lake Cuatepeque and Cerro Verde was amazing. William was my guide and was very friendly and told me a lot about the history of El Salvador, the archaeological sites and life in the country. I learned a lot, and I had a great time. I only had one day to go because I travel for work, and I'm sorry I got to know a lot in the short time I had. The views of the volcanoes and on the lake are stunning, very very beautiful. A beautiful country with beautiful people!

Must see sites - Absolutely beautiful experience. Our tour guide Windy was kind and knowledgeable. The driver was also friendly, showing us his pictures of local activities. The sites were great, not crowded at all. We were paired with local experts at each site.
