5Cultural day tour
Nice day tour to a pretty town in the colonial style. The tour guide and driver were both fun and interesting people who we learned a lot from. If you're interested in culture it should be on your list. The indigo shop was very interesting and showed a major economic export of the period.
5A great tour!
The tour was a great experience. The guide was descriptive and offered great details about the history of the area and the people. I highly suggest that anyone who wants to know more about the history of El Salvador take this tour. 10/10!
5Once in a lifetime experience!
The tour was great/ the town is beautiful and the local shops had great souvenirs. I purchased gifts for my family and friends, and I would recommend this to anyone wishing to lean more about El Salvador.
5Suchitoto
Alfredo Diaz was my guide for the Suchitoto town tour. He was an excellent guide! So knowledgeable, and a lot of fun to travel with. He was accomodating, and answered all of my questions, and really seemed to enjoy what he does. To see such a beautiful place with someone like that was a great experence.
