Free walking tours in San Salvador

We got a text at the last minute to move us to a different tour group/meeting place as not enough people had booked tours that morning. We were so glad we did, as we were moved to do the tour with Dave. He was so cheerful and enthusiastic, and so knowledgeable about the history of the country. We so enjoyed this tour and would highly recommend it to anyone. Ask for Dave!

Ich habe die Tour sehr genossen. Ich habe schon viele Freewalking tours gemacht und kann sagen, dass diese einer der Besten war. Dave wusste extrem viel über sein Land und hat auch selber viel erlebt, was er uns erzählt hat. Es war spannend im zuzuhören und auch alle Fragen konnte er beantworten. Von San Salvador selber war ich auch positiv überrascht und die Geschichte aufjedefall wissenswert. Ich kann die Tour mit Dave nur empfehlen!

Adrian was an excellent guide, conducted in English. He is quite educated and gave an amazing tour, indulging me with the current state and past history of the country by pointed out many events, locations, and cultural items of importance . We started in a beautiful, fascinating park and ended up in the center near national buildings, important churches, central markets, and some dining options (the Pulpusa place off the library was fantastic and inexpensive). Of modern interest - don't miss the state-of-the-art library and most beautiful Starbucks in the world along the way. This is a MUST DO - awesome in every way. Travel tip: Include a phone number on your reservation and check your email/phone the morning of and prior to the tour for important updates and communication.

Excellent tour. Carlos is extremely professional and highly knowledgeable about El Salvador. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the country.

La guia es joven pero bien preparada. El tour fue muy entretenido

TAKE THIS TOUR! Dave is absolutely incredible...seriously, you need not look for any other walking tours. Dave's energy is amazing- fun and infectious! Very knowledgeable and so passionate about his country! He takes the time to learn everyone's name and makes the tour inclusive and interactive. I highly highly recommend Dave Mendez!!!

Excelente! Lo disfrutamos mucho! Muy buena introducción al país. Mucha información y muy buen explicado. David tenía mucha energía y era muy simpático. Lo recomiendo 100%

We enjoyed our tour with Adrian. I learned a lot and I am happy to visit this beautiful country.

I loved it! Carlos was great! I will definitely recommend it to family and friends.

Everything was truly perfect. Necessary to understand what is happening in El Salvador!

Definitely one of my favourite walking tour ever. I've been to almost 100 countries and done so many walking tours and Dave was just incredible. So passionate , kind and knowledgeable. Time passed way too quickly.

Dave was amazing! He gave so much information about El Salvador where you felt like family by the end of the tour. He even took a huge step forward when I secretly asked him to tell my boyfriend Happy Birthday the day of the tour. He not only told him, had the group sing Happy Birthday but also bought him a cake as well! He went way above and beyond and I’m so grateful! I would recommend his tour 10000%!

El guía la verdad que excelente nos explicó todo muy bien y la información de todo el recorrido fue genial !! No le faltó un detalle a nada … muy bien respondiendo a todas las preguntas y super atento a todo !!! Un 10

Carlos was an excellent guide for our tour. Informative and entertaining taking us to interesting places. Thoroughly enjoyable 🌟

Great tour, I learned so much! Highly recommend.

Adrian is the best! Thank you for the amazing hospitality and your big heart explaining all the history of the country and San Salvador specifically! All the best!

My cousin and I really enjoyed our tour with Erick! He knows the ins and outs of San Salvador, and we got a local look on shops and restaurants. He’s a very funny and friendly guy, and his connections in different places make the tour that much more engaging and meaningful. We would definitely recommend taking a tour with Erick!

Great walk and introduction to El Salvador. Dave is very expressive and excited to share information. Highly highly recommend.

This tour was so entertaining and our guide, Carlos, was truly the greatest. We saw several sites as the description said we would, and Carlos gave us great recommendations along the way for what to eat and see. Besides the itinerary we were able to stop for hot tamales, fresh fruit in a market, and ice cream. Carlos was funny and knowledgeable, and kept us entertained for the full tour. Thank you so much!

Carlos was a wonderful tour guide and explained a lot of the history of El Salvador. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone visiting San Salvador!

Fue un tour increible con Carlos nos explicó muchas cosas y aprendí mucho sobre la historia de El Salvador de mano de alguien local, el recorrido fue entretenido y visitamos varios lugares interesantes y importantes para la ciudad y el país, totalmente lo recomiendo 10/10

Adrian was a terrific guide and had a wealth of knowledge about his city and country with both historical and personal stories. His English is excellent and he answered the many questions that we had. If you're not afraid of walking on and off for a few hours then I highly recommend this tour!

Fuimos 3 personas y lo hace mas personalizado, comenzamos puntual y fue entretenido respondio a nuestras preguntas y pasamos a degustar las pupusas, el recorrido si es amplio lugares de interes, edificios históricos hasta llegar al centro de San Salvador excelente muy didáctico nos sacaron muchas fotos y felicidades nos ayudo a conocer en una tarde parte de la historia de San Salvador y del pais, recomendable al 100% Gracias Marcela bendiciones

Dave…what an ICON! Enthusiasm plus. Theatrics always. Passion unmatched. Got a great mix of past history to set the scene for what the present El Salvador is becoming. Went on a huge wander to see different sectors of the city. A pit stop for local treats of course. Not quite 2.5 hours…definitely get your walking shoes on but worth every extra minute of the tour. Depth. Entertainment. Satisfaction plus!!

Die Tour mit Dave war super interessant und informativ. Wir haben sehr viel über die Geschichte von El Salvador kennengelernt und konnten uns einen guten Einblick in San Salvador. Dave hat die Tour sehr angenehm und unterhaltsam gestaltet, ist sehr zu empfehlen!
