Tour description

I have been a tour guide for six years, I love the Historic Center of San Salvador, because I grew up, live and work here since I was a teenager.
I have a small bohemian bar, just for friends and tourists.
On my tour we visited churches, squares, markets, restaurants and places to taste a high-quality coffee or a national beer.
If you want to know the history and folklore I recommend the morning tour, if you want a tour that includes bars and restaurants I recommend the afternoon or night tours.
I accept bitcoins and credit and debit cards, Visa and MasterCard.
Remember that we have a tropical climate, so you can enjoy it better bring glasses, a hat and an umbrella.
If you book the tour I will send you a message with more information, don't forget to confirm your attendance.
The 6:00 pm tour remembers that you visit bars, restaurants and the new National Library. Churches are closed, but they are illuminated from the outside.

excellent experience, a very detailed, very complete tour, with historical and current explanation of each of the main places in the historic center, in addition to taking me to a good food place, he gave me recommendations and I chose the one of my preference, he took me to taste an excellent coffee, a very patient guide, with a very good gift of service, friendly, pleasant, he does not rush you, he lets you take your time. In each place, he takes good photographs, I sincerely recommend it 100%,

Usually I never leave reviews but I feel obliged to leave one for Erick. Believe the other reviews when they say that he never turns up because it’s certainly true. My friend and I waited at the meeting point for over an hour, text him multiple times with no response. We ended up actually speaking to another tour guide who knew Erik and said this was nothing out the ordinary for him. Such a massive disappointment. Luckily we managed to book ourselves onto the other English speaking tour at 3pm using again, guruwalks which I would seriously recommend and loved!
