Tour description

Enjoy a truly local and unique experience. Stroll through the small and unique streets of the city . There you will discover local crafts while shopping for groceries and some of the freshest fruits and vegetables the region has to offer.

VERY important- the walking tours on Saturday always end up in the hotspring waterfalls so be ready for a fully adventure through the chicken buses

Come join us to see how great life is in our city.
On the tour we will visit:

  • San Juan de Dios Church
  • Former local market
  • Calvary Church
  • Historical Center
  • Cathedral
  • Pupuseria La Ceiba
  • Hidden bar in the center


 Respect the locals...

 At night you don't feel obligated to stay at the hostel, there are plenty of things to do depending on what you feel like. From grabbing a beer at one of the bars in town or grabbing a delicious snack at one of the many local restaurants and maybe even playing a game of pool. 

Check out all what we have been doing. https://hostelzwiebel.wixsite.com/hostelzwiebel. https://air.tl/R18Yeds2. These and many more recommendations at the end of the tour!

A very authentic and interesting tour. Beaver grew up in Santa Ana during a lot of gang violence and is passionate about sharing his experiences. Definitely a local tour, not just landmarks you could visit by yourself. Thanks for the excellent evening!

What an amazing tour. Nelson shared quite some stories with us and answered all of our questions. We made some pupusas, grabbed a beer while talking about life in Santa Ana and visited so many interesting places. I definitely recommend!

Nelson is a very dedicated guide. He showed us what his life has been growing up in Santa Ana. He doesn't focus on the main touristic attraction but on the real life of the locals. I learned that pupusas are for dinner only. No one will have a pupuas for lunch. He experienced to make our own pupuas. We discovered a speakeasy and had the best ice creams.

Nelson explored the real intimate history of Santa Ana that could only be delivered by someone who existed through its constant changing landscape. His ability to recreate history though life altering personal experiences is what sets this apart from any other walking tour. Be prepared to walk further and see more than just the highlights. If you made this far, you better be booking the tour and be prepared to see all Santa Ana has to offer that only a true local can access.

The Free Walking Tour in Santa Ana led by Castor is an absolute gem! Highly recommended for anyone seeking deep insights into life in the city. Castor's personal upbringing in Santa Ana adds an invaluable layer of authenticity to the experience. His honesty and reflection shine through, making the tour both enlightening and genuine. With a focus on local spots off the beaten path, it unveils hidden treasures one would never discover alone. Truly an authentic exploration of the city's soul!
