Thank you for booking my tour!
I have been a tour guide for seven years, I love the Historic Center of San Salvador, I grew up here, I live here and I work here.
On the tour, we will visit churches, squares, markets, bars and coffee shops.
A good coffee, a national beer or our national dishes like pupusa, is possible.
For those interested in history and folklore, I recommend the morning tour. If you're looking for a more lively experience that includes stops at bars and restaurants, the afternoon or evening tours are perfect for you. I accept Bitcoin, credit and debit cards (Visa and MasterCard).
San Salvador has a tropical climate, so I suggest bringing sunglasses, a hat, and an umbrella. Once you book the tour, I'll send you all the details—just don't forget to RSVP.
A special note for the 6:00 pm tour: this time is ideal for enjoying the city's nightlife, with visits to bars, restaurants and the newly opened National Library. Although the churches will be closed, they will be illuminated from the outside.
