    Francis was very helpful and patient through the excursions although the wall was a more difficult than expect to climb back up. He was very patient taking photos and waiting on us. Definitely recommend.

    Whoever created this itinerary did a GREAT job!! Wow!! In one day you can see SO much of the country and totally immerse yourself in the culture, history, traditions and modern day-to-day life! It's hard to tell which part of the tour was my favorite. Perhaps, going to the coffee factory and learning how they make coffee while being given a tour of the factory itself. Truly unique experience and of course the first one for me! On that trip, i did some awesome shipping too! Yes, I bought bunch of coffee 🙃😄BUT I also found some beautiful paintings done by local artirst that I brought with me to NYC and I got a lovely handmade purse too! By the way, the lunch was great! Ask your tour guide to bring you to the restaurant that has a huge garden and a small animal farm. I forgot the name of it, but it was awesome! We went to it there right before heading to coffee factory. Overall, the tour is awesome! You will enjoy!

    For the greatest experience and to maximize every minute of your El Salvador trip, call Alfredo. Get him gate to gate!
    My wife and I took our daughter who was almost 2 years old for week trip to El Salvador. The country is one of a kind world class natural beauty, extraordinary architecture new and old! Don’t let the “smallest country in Central America” title fool you, there are endless possibilities. That’s where Alfredo comes in he drives, guides, translates and everything in between. He is a master trekker volcano exert, historian and coffee expert, oh and his mom and Dad have the best pappusaria in the country.
    Alfredo showed us calderas, volcanos, code plantation, cathedrals, old town San Salvador, gave us history lessons, showed us companion crop farming, and lined up the grand finale, releasing a whole litter of baby sea turtles into the pacific. When I tell people El Salvador is the best place they can go in Central America, I mean it but I also tell them to just call Alfredo tell him what they like then listen to all of his suggestions, and they will have an experience of a life time.

    Wonderful day exploring El Salvador’s Mayan ruins. Had to get an early start due to my ships early departure, so my guide Rafael drove me to Volcan de Santa Ana to see an incredible lake and wonderful views of Volcan Izalco before heading to Tazumal. Rafael was very knowledgeable about the Mayan ruins and provided great insight into the historical and archaeological sites. The highlight of the tour was Joya de Ceren. El Salvador is a beautiful country and Rafael’s pride was evident and infectious. Highly recommend Eco Tours Petate

    During the planning stage Alfredo always replied quickly to any questions i had. From the moment my friend and I arrived in El Salvador Alfredo was very accommodating to our needs and to our last minute itinerary changes.
    I dont typically hire guides but Im certainly glad i did for this trip, it made things so much more easy and Alfredo is a wealth of knowledge, in fact i wondered if i knew as much history about my own country as he did his to which the answer is No.
    Very quickly i felt our relationship was more than guide/client, Alfredo went along with our sense of humour and banter and we had a lot of fun with him and i consider him a friend.
    People should definitely visit El Salvador, it has a lot to offer in a small area and they should definitely reach out to Alfredo, they wont regret it.

    Thanks for everything Alfredo i hope our paths cross again my friend!
