I speak English and Spanish, I can do the tour in both languages.

I started as a tour guide a few years ago. I want to share my city with you. I want you to see more than just buildings and lights. I'm going to show you real people and the stories no one dares to tell.

On the tour, we visited churches, squares, markets, bars, and coffee shops.
A good coffee, a national beer, or our national dishes like pupusa, it's 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 cards, 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 at WhatsApp 50375653933.

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.
