If I could give 10 starts I would. Fernando knows the history, is passionate about it, and give you tips and tricks for everything El Salvador. He truly is a Nomad traveler in this Beautiful Country. I completely recommend booking this tour.

What a Fantastic Tour! Even though the country was on a red alert because of the hurricane in the Pacific and we had rain most of the day, Fernando gave us an amazing tour! We would join any tour Fernando leads! His knowledge and experience along with the love of the area was outstanding! Best wishes From Dave, Leslie, Brad and Laura

We had the BEST time with Fernando! He showed us all the highlights of Chalchuapa and was incredibly interesting, engaging, and funny. His tour went way above my expectations as he taught us about the local history, botany, indigenous people, education system, and more. The ruins don't have an information signs up, so his guidance made the visit worthwhile. As an easy little trip out of Santa Ana, this is a great activity for anyone visiting the area :)
