Carlos is a very nice and polite guy, he’s got a lot of enthusiasm in showing his city, he even displays posters with maps and pictures that help understand much better the history of San Salvador. Definitely worth the tour!

Carlos was the best! He communicated beforehand clearly about where to meet and even waited a few minutes until I got there. He was professional, informative, and gave us the full picture of the history and current life in El Salvador. There were only three of us on the tour, so it was very personalized, which I really appreciated. Thank you, Carlos! I would recommend you any time.

Carlos es un excelente guía, nos ayudo a entender la historia del Salvador, nos ha encantado el uso de imágenes para poder explicar mejor la historia. Fue un placer recorrer el centro histórico con él, siempre con una excelente actitud y buena disposición para contestar todas nuestras dudas. Al final le pedimos su apoyo como guía en 2 días completos de tours, para poder conocer el país de forma más completa, sus precios muy justos y la experiencia fue muy enriquecedora! Totalmente recomendable.

Carlos was a fantastic guide, I definitely recommend to take one or more tour with him!! I started with the walking tour, then visited a vulcano and other beautiful colonial cities during the days I stayed in Salvador.
