Free walking tours in Santa Ana - El Salvador

we had a fantastic time with Carlos! he spoke openly about the past and current situation in El Salvador. he gave us lots of insides about the salvadorian life(style) and lots of nice recommendations for our stay in Santa Ana. great tour and great guide!

Luis was fun and informative. Good experience!

I really enjoyed my time with Carlos. He was very knowledgeable. He took me to places that I would never have found by myself as a tourist. He told me a lot of of the history and the current political situation of the country. It was a really enjoyable experience.

It was a very interesting tour and Gio was talking with passion about any question people asked! Thank you

Carlos guided us through the historic center of Santa Ana, taking us from the cathedral to the market and through the maze of lively streets. He shared fascinating stories about the city and the country’s past, and even connected us with local residents along the way. A truly recommended experience.

Hector repeatedly told us this is not your typical walking tour - and it’s not. It’s more loose and unstructured. The best part for me was when he told us his story in a coffee shop and his honest opinions. As a group everyone wanted coffee and to sample local food, so that’s what we did. That was a highlight for me as well- being able to taste a wide variety of food in the local market was a great experience. I now have a better understanding of what life was like for people before, and the present day and that’s what I was hoping to come away with. P.S. You might have to wait 5 minutes for him to show up. I nearly left the tour thinking he was a no-show.

Really amazing tour! He lets the group choose what you’re interested in. For example, the buildings, history, food, politics, etc. Fun guy who knows a lot about the country and isn’t afraid of answering personal questions.

Hector was extremely interesting and knowledgeable. He asked the group at the start what we would like to get out of the tour and we basically ended up eating our way round Santa Ana! It was great fun trying foods that we hadn’t on our own and to meet other travellers at the same time. Hector also gave a good insight in to how El Salvador is now compared to how it was not too long ago. Would thoroughly recommend this tour.

Carlos’ walking tour is fantastic. Carlos was friendly and informative and took us to many places in the city which we wouldn’t have known to go to without the tour. Carlos even helped us after the tour ended to find somewhere to exchange currency. I can’t recommend this tour enough. Thank you Carlos!

We absolutely loved our city tour. It was a fantastic experience — learning more about the history, discovering new places, and tasting new dishes along the way. We laughed a lot too. It was such a great time

Carlos was a great guide! If your walking around on your own Santa Ana is just another city. With Carlos as a guide you’ll learn so much more about it and the history of the nation. Also very entertaining and highly recommended.

We really enjoyed our tour with Carlos. He was very friendly, knowledgable and gave us a good overview of the city. We especially appreciated meeting local people on the route and trying some of the local fruits. I had no hesitation in recommending this tour to others

We really enjoyed our tour with Carlos and learned lots about the history and culture of Santa Ana and El Salvador. We would recommend to anyone wanting to learn more about the city in a fun and engaging way. Thanks for a great day Carlos!

Hector was great, shared a lot of information of the history of El Salvador, Santa Ana and took us through the market to experience some of the local cuisine that you probably won’t find or think about trying without the local guide recommending. If you are in Santa Ana, would highly recommend.

Incredible tour guide

Very good food tour and knowledgeable about current events in this country.

Very informative and fun. Serious topics but also lots of humour. We really enjoyed it!

Hector‘s walk was definitely one of the best walk we‘ve ever had. So much fun, so many stories, so many cool stops, very down to earth, very easy to communicate and last but not least great food spots along the market. Gracias por todo y buena suerte a tí!

Great tour! Carlos was very welcoming and answered all of our questions. Carlos walked us through the center of town, shared the history of Santa Ana and El Salvador, let us try fruit, and gave us many recommendations. We also met locals on the tour, which made it even more special. Highly recommend!

It was a great tour, got to see and talk about lots!

Best walking tour I’ve ever done - super authentic, interesting and would literally do it again as it was so great!

The tour with Carlos was so much fun and informative! He showed us a lot of interesting places, we learned a lot about the past and present Santa Ana and tried many delicious food! He made me feel welcome and safe in El Salvador 😊

This was honestly the best tour ever! Fatima took us to some great local spots around Santa Ana, explained and provided local foods for us to try and discussed El Salvador’s history which was fascinating to hear about from someone who experienced it firsthand. Fatima was a great guide and we couldn’t recommend this any more

A great insight into what it’s like to be a local living in El Salvador. Fatima is friendly, personable and funny, showed us some great local food spots and told us about the history of the country. Would recommend!

Hands down the most authentic walking tour I’ve been on. Great explanation on the history of Santa Ana and El Salvador.
