Great way to see more than San Salvador - It was a great trip to Joya de Cerén and San Andres. It was interesting to see the sites from hundreds of years ago. I learned a lot from Adonis, our guide. The lunch spot had a great view of the lake.

Beautiful places and a lot of learning - It was a very cool walk and a lot of learning. The guide was great and the group size was ideal (less than 10 people). Transportation between the ruins was excellent and the time in each was ideal. In addition, we had time to visit the historic center of Santa Ana and have lunch at Lake Coatepeque. It was a very complete and profitable tour.

A great experience seeing Mayan sites - I had a really great experience with the tour guide, Ado. I had him for another tour and can say he is a great tour guide that is happy to answer any questions and is very knowledgeable about the sites. The driver Rodrigo was also very cool, I had great conversations with him, and he always had a smile. I would definitely recommend this tour!

Best Tour Guide Hands Down - We had Alfredo again for our 2nd tour this week and he was once again beyond amazing. He is knowledgeable, personable and shows you all of the best local things as well as the attractions. He always has the very best lunch locations! He takes the best pictures and is extremely helpful. We were so excited to see him as our guide again today. He made both of our days unforgettable. The Mayan ruins were a definite sight to see.
