"The tour is like a roller coaster of emotions, from stories of the civil war and gang violence to crowded and chaotic markets. It's a fantastic way to see San Salvador," commented one of our guests.
We invite you to discover the country's capital, which has changed the most in Latin America, a place that not long ago was known as the murder capital of the world.
Walk the most iconic squares in the city, visit Rosary Church, one of the few Brutalist churches on the continent and visited by thousands of tourists. Visit the National Library — the most modern in Central America, and Romero’s crypt — he was assassinated while celebrating Mass and his tomb is visited by thousands of people.
Learn about history and culture; laugh, taste, and walk with us.
We are traveling souls (Carlos and Gio) – passionate, dedicated guides, ready to show you El Salvador from a whole new perspective.

5.00One of the best city walking tours I’ve been on anywhere. Dave’s passion for the city/country, teaching history and culture, and making sure the group’s questions were answered was unmatched. If you are in San Salvador, this is a must.
Great walking tour to experience the city and learn from locals

5.00Carlos was a great guide! He gave us great history of the old town and of the civil war and marketplace. We also had the opportunity to try some street food by vendors Carlos knew.
Great historical overview!

5.00I had such a great time during the tour. Carlos was so knowledgeable and I was so impressed with the information he knew about Salvadoran history and economics. We got recommendations of restaurants and places to go to after. He was patient, kind, and funny! I learned so much, I took notes and shared that information with others. We also had delicious lunch and the walking was not strenuous at all.
Perfect introduction to El Salvador

5.00Carlos was absolutely amazing! From past to present - we learned about the history, culture, economics, landscape, and food of El Salvador. He kept things light and interesting, so that all of the information wasn't overwhelming and felt casual, instead of like a lecture. Would recommend this tour to anyone, and I'm glad that this was the first thing I did, after landing in the country. It really helped add context to, and helped me appreciate this country and my visit here, even more!

5.00The experience was excellent; Azucena provided a lot of context and made it very enjoyable, even for my 5-year-old who wanted her to be his guide on all the tours. Thank you very much. Azucena, remember to send me the photo with the flag 😉
