Hugo is the best!

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Hugo was an incredible guide super informative and engaging throughout the entire tour. As an American, I came in with very little background knowledge of El Salvador beyond knowing about the assassination of Archbishop Óscar Romero, and this tour completely expanded my understanding. Hugo provided rich historical context and detailed explanations at every stop, especially around the history of San Salvador and its political and social layers. What really stood out was learning so much about local life and culture while seeing parts of the city that go far beyond the more resort style areas. Hugo took us to off-the-beaten path sites and shared stories and history you wouldn’t encounter on your own. It was eye opening, meaningful, and gave me a much deeper appreciation for the city and its people. I can’t recommend this tour enough!

5.00Hugo was amazing! He was friendly, fun, and super informative. We wish we could have taken him with us for our entire vacation to teach us about all of other stops in El Salvador! Booking this tour was our best idea ever.
