Free walking tours in Santa Ana - El Salvador

Super laid back tour. We were a very large group and started with a coffee shop where everyone ordered so it took a while but Hector gave us a lot of info while we were waiting. It went on a little too long for me but once we left there and headed to the market, we tried items from 6 different stands and things I never would have known to try. We were all really glad we took the tour. Even with more than 30 people, hector did a great job of creating a fun and informative experience!

Carlos took us around his town gave us lots of recommendations and gave some insight into el salvadors history. We highly recommend going on a walk with Carlos!

The tour with Carlos was amazing! He showed us great places in Santa Ana and we got to try some local foods. 10/10 would recommend!

Carlos gave a fantastic tour. He is a funny and engaging guide. I enjoyed hearing about his personal experiences living through the changing history in the country, and he took us through many interesting places in the city. I particularly enjoyed trying the food he bought for the group in different markets and restaurants. Sign up for some good laughs, and a fun way to get to know Santa Ana. A note for English speakers - Carlos speaks English quite well

Nice style to Hectors tour, was great with his education, and gave a real telling truth of what life was like and currently is like in El Salvador. Come prepared with questions because he truly was an open book!!

Gio, and Ivan were great on the tour. Very knowledgeable, and kept the tour informative, and fun. Had incredible stories, and we were able to try so many different foods. By the end of of the tour we were all stuffed, and full of information about El Salvador. Could not recommend him more!

Hector did a great job at giving us information on El Salvador's history and culture. He's really informative. He also showed us around the town market in Santa Ana and we got to try local food. Would highly recommend him!

I can fully recommend the tour with Carlos. He was informative, kind, entertaining and took us to so many places! We tried great foods along the way as well. Thank you Carlos 🙏

Fátima was very charismatic and knowledgeable. She answered all of our questions regardless of when we asked them. She was also able to offer lots of different perspectives. She found us with ease. I would very much recommend Fátima!

Would definitely recommend going on a tour with Fatima in Santa Ana! I appreciate how she explained the history of the city, showed us many good places to find good and drinks, spoke about her personal experience growing up in Santa Ana, and gave us many recommendations for our time there. She was also very friendly and open to any questions we had about Santa Ana or El Salvador.

Eine sehr coole und informative Tour. Danke für deine Zeit Hector und wir werden dich definitiv anderen Menschen empfehlen! Wir haben viel gelernt, gelacht und gut gegessen und getrunken! 5/5 Sterne ⭐️

AMAZING AND AUTHENTIC

Hector took us on a great food tour through the local markets

Luis gave an excellent tour! He was open to any and all questions and provided detailed information about the sites along our route. I like to start my visits to new cities with a walking tour so I can get recommendations and a better point of reference if I need help navigating the city or understanding the local culture. Luis was friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful throughout the tour. I highly recommend his tour!

Amazing tour, a highlight of my trip in Santa Ana. Hector is incredible!!

Luisa and Freya were great tour companions! We learned so much about the city and what its people have experienced, sampled some new flavors, and got to explore places we wouldn't have found on our own. The coffee shop was such a nice way to end the tour, with a good cup and good conversation, and Freya was a joy to hang with. Luis did a great job, we recommend this tour!

I was recommended Hector’s walking tour a couple of times and had read great things about it online and I totally understand why! The walking tour was one of the best I’ve been on and Hector seemed more like a friend than a guide! He shared lots of information about El Salvador and Santa Ana, answered any questions people had and gave lots of great recommendations! He then brought us to the market where we got to try tons of delicious local food! If you get the chance to take the tour I highly recommend it!

We really enjoyed the tour! Thank you!

Hector is the man! Best walking tour I've ever done. Very professional but also such a friendly guy and happy to go with the vibe of the group. Hector knows anything and everything about Santa Ana/El Salvador and he won't hesitate to tell you whatever you want to know! Highly recommend

Carlos was great. He gave us a thorough tour of Santa Ana and El Salvador’s recent history which lasted over 2 hours. He took us to the main buildings, the markets, and gave us lots of recommendations. He also bought us food and drink to try from the markets which was a nice touch.

I’ve been on many walking tours, but this was unique. It’s refreshing to have someone arrive and not follow the same old narrative. Hector is Hector, and that’s a positive, meaning you get a real sense of what it means for him to be an El Savadorian. If you want an idea of what it was like growing up here and how politics and the country’s past troubles shaped him vs the same old waffle about colonial churches then get yourself booked up! Oh, and there’s food.

Fantastic tour with Carlos - we had such an interesting morning. It was great to deep dive into the culture of Santa Ana & El Salvador, see the local spots, try some amazing food and even interact with some locals. Would highly recommend. Carlos’ English is perfect too!

Hector provided a really unique view of life in El Salvador and Santa Ana. This isn’t a walking tour as such but it’s a really informative view from a local with an interesting perspective on life in the country in the recent past and the present day. Highly recommended. Thanks Hector!

we had a fantastic time with Carlos! he spoke openly about the past and current situation in El Salvador. he gave us lots of insides about the salvadorian life(style) and lots of nice recommendations for our stay in Santa Ana. great tour and great guide!

Luis was fun and informative. Good experience!
