Walking tour with Carlos: New cultures, new paths, and new friends, lots of typical gastronomy, and more

The best walking tour - Carlos is charismatic, knowledgeable, hilarious, passionate, patient, genuine, kind and generous with his time and effort in showing us around his beautiful town Santa Ana. We went well over time because of all the in depth conversations we had about El Salvadorian culture, history, politics and shared personal stories. We were lucky to also try some native El Salvadorian fruits and sweets, which we would have missed without a local guide. Highly recommend! Mucho gracias Carlos!

The people of Santa Ana are super proud of their city, and you will learn so much! It was a lot of fun walking around the city with Carlos and I used a lot of his recommendations over the course of my stay. He’s super nice and still did the tour even though I was solo!

Gio was an excellent tour guide! We had a buffet of all sorts of typical salvadorean foods and drinks while learning about the history of Santa Ana and El Salvador!

What an experience! The best walking tour I have ever done. Hector’s tour is exceptional. I don’t want to give too much away as the story is the tour but I could not recommend this enough. It’s an essential during a trip to El Salvador. The market tour was great, nobody got poorly and that was Hector’s promise! The perfect way to learn about the history, politics and life of an El Salvadorian! Thanks Hector.

We just finished up our tour with Carlos and couldn’t recommend him enough! He was so informative and was able to answer any questions we had. He brought us to taste different local fruits and foods from the markets and showed us many locations that would be good to return to. He gave us such a good insight into Santa Ana and was very charismatic and enjoyable to spend a couple of hours with. If you’re looking for an excellent walking tour of Santa Ana I would definitely recommend Carlos! ~ Alannah and Jack

Genuinely one of the best tours I’ve ever had. We had just finished climbing the volcano and were quite tired, but thought to proceed with the tour. Carlos was fantastic. He was full of energy, character and knowledge, and his jokes made him a great company throughout the tour. We started in the city square, made our way to the churches and historical buildings, enjoyed the local cuisine and visited the markets. He told us about the history of the city, the gangs that formerly operated and changes to life of El Salvadorians following the new government. He also has some interesting stories and experiences prior to becoming a tour guide. Our favourite part of the tour was the opportunity to try local food - we had the pastry snacks, the fruit and the white corn, and loved it. He was very attentive to our questions and personalised the tour around us as well. I highly recommend this tour if you’re in the city - it’s definitely not one to miss out on. Thank you so much Carlos!

Carlitos was a great guide to Santa Ana. It was an invaluable experience as we felt we would’ve missed a lot of what the place has to offer without his recommendations, histórical context and overall energy / atmosphere of being guided round the town by a local. Thank you Carlitos!

Really great walking tour with Carlos. He explained lots of the history, showed me the churches, markets, recommended which places to eat that serve typical Salvadorian cuisine, and shared new fruits with me. Carlos was kind, offered lots of knowledge and was funny. Highly recommend this tour, don't think about it, just book it 🌞
