Free walking tours in Santa Ana - El Salvador

Luis was fun and informative. Good experience!

We had a great tour with Carlos! We learnt a lot about the history of Santa Ana and El Salvador, as well as trying lots of local delicacies and fruit. It moved at a good pace too and Carlos gave us lots of recommendations for the rest of our time in Santa Ana

It was a very interesting tour and Gio was talking with passion about any question people asked! Thank you

Carlos guided us through the historic center of Santa Ana, taking us from the cathedral to the market and through the maze of lively streets. He shared fascinating stories about the city and the country’s past, and even connected us with local residents along the way. A truly recommended experience.

Hector repeatedly told us this is not your typical walking tour - and it’s not. It’s more loose and unstructured. The best part for me was when he told us his story in a coffee shop and his honest opinions. As a group everyone wanted coffee and to sample local food, so that’s what we did. That was a highlight for me as well- being able to taste a wide variety of food in the local market was a great experience. I now have a better understanding of what life was like for people before, and the present day and that’s what I was hoping to come away with. P.S. You might have to wait 5 minutes for him to show up. I nearly left the tour thinking he was a no-show.

Really amazing tour! He lets the group choose what you’re interested in. For example, the buildings, history, food, politics, etc. Fun guy who knows a lot about the country and isn’t afraid of answering personal questions.

Hector was extremely interesting and knowledgeable. He asked the group at the start what we would like to get out of the tour and we basically ended up eating our way round Santa Ana! It was great fun trying foods that we hadn’t on our own and to meet other travellers at the same time. Hector also gave a good insight in to how El Salvador is now compared to how it was not too long ago. Would thoroughly recommend this tour.

Carlos’ walking tour is fantastic. Carlos was friendly and informative and took us to many places in the city which we wouldn’t have known to go to without the tour. Carlos even helped us after the tour ended to find somewhere to exchange currency. I can’t recommend this tour enough. Thank you Carlos!

El tour fue muy interesante! Carlos fue puntual y nos hizo un recorrido de 3 horas. Durante el tour nos hizo probar muchas cosas típicas y nos permitió descubrir muchos lugares Fue una experiencia muy completa y agradable, por lo que lo recomiendo totalmente Gracias!

We absolutely loved our city tour. It was a fantastic experience — learning more about the history, discovering new places, and tasting new dishes along the way. We laughed a lot too. It was such a great time

Nos encantó el tour con Carlos. Fue un guía muy divertido nos aprendí mucho sobre la ciudad, el país y la comida Se adaptó muy bien a nosotros hablando en español y inglés para que todos entiendan bien Le recomendamos mucho ! Gracias Carlos !

Carlos was a great guide! If your walking around on your own Santa Ana is just another city. With Carlos as a guide you’ll learn so much more about it and the history of the nation. Also very entertaining and highly recommended.

We really enjoyed our tour with Carlos. He was very friendly, knowledgable and gave us a good overview of the city. We especially appreciated meeting local people on the route and trying some of the local fruits. I had no hesitation in recommending this tour to others

Carlos was amazing! So kind, knowledgeable, and honest. He gave me many recommendations of food to try and restaurants. It was also great having a bilingual guide, when there were words I don’t know in Spanish he would translate them. He talked about the past, present, and future of Santa Ana. I had a really great time and appreciated him giving me a tour even though I was the only person. 100/10!

We really enjoyed our tour with Carlos and learned lots about the history and culture of Santa Ana and El Salvador. We would recommend to anyone wanting to learn more about the city in a fun and engaging way. Thanks for a great day Carlos!

Hector was great, shared a lot of information of the history of El Salvador, Santa Ana and took us through the market to experience some of the local cuisine that you probably won’t find or think about trying without the local guide recommending. If you are in Santa Ana, would highly recommend.

Incredible tour guide

Muy bueno el guia Carlos, nos hizo pasar el tiempo rapido ya que fue muy dinamico y activo, nos hizo probar comida tipipca en varios lugares del recorrido, eso fue un plus que no esperabamos, muy linda experiencia

Very good food tour and knowledgeable about current events in this country.

Very informative and fun. Serious topics but also lots of humour. We really enjoyed it!

Hector‘s walk was definitely one of the best walk we‘ve ever had. So much fun, so many stories, so many cool stops, very down to earth, very easy to communicate and last but not least great food spots along the market. Gracias por todo y buena suerte a tí!

Had a really great tour with Carlos. We got to talk with a lot of people from the city and he made us try a couple of local food. We visited nice landmarks, learned about the history of the city and got a couple restaurants recommendations as well. Would definitely recommend.

Carlos nos llevó a hacer un recorrido muy completo por Santa Ana, que incluyó lugares turísticos, mercados, edificios importantes de la ciudad y charlas con locales. También nos invitó a frutas y comida local. Muchas gracias, Carlos, fue un tour muy ameno.

La ciudad no tiene mucho, pero el saco partido y lo hizo muy ameno. Estoy acostumbrado a tours con personas académicas, este no fue el caso. Es un tour con un amigo local que te mezcla la historia, vida y gastronomía. Compro cosas durante el tour para probar y en ningún momento pidió dinero ni hablo de ello. Un gran detalle que luego todos tuvimos en cuenta. RECOMENDABLE!!!! Gracias

Great tour! Carlos was very welcoming and answered all of our questions. Carlos walked us through the center of town, shared the history of Santa Ana and El Salvador, let us try fruit, and gave us many recommendations. We also met locals on the tour, which made it even more special. Highly recommend!
