We had an incredible 7-day experience with Explore El Salvador, led by the amazing tour guide Alfredo. From start to finish, Alfredo was professional, attentive, and always quick to respond to messages. He went above and beyond to tailor our itinerary to fit a specific vision centered around the theme of  “storytelling,” perfectly aligning with our group’s goals.

Why Taking a Local Tour Guide Is Good For You

A licensed tour guide offers you safety, customization, best timing and value. Skip the company, call the guide!

You Get More Than a Guide

Since the moment we meet, you have a friend in El Salvador. One to orient and recommend you the best places to eat, where's the coldest beer or the freshest coffee. To share the stories and facts you hardly find in the travel guides.

Your Money Well Spent

You have my commitment in supporting local communities, small producers and family-run businesses as much as possible. My services and tours will never support any case of child labour nor animal abuse. With every tour you book, you're supporting rescued animal shelters and rescuers.

Your Local Expert

The perspective of locals is essential to understand El Salvador. Born and raised in San Salvador downtown gave me the rare opportunity to witness some of the most important events in El Salvador recent history. I, not only read history, I was there!

Itineraries that Fit You

You want to combine surfing and hiking or maybe some off the beaten track spots? Or maybe you want to sleep till late because you're on vacation after all! No problemo! You ask and I made it fit for you. Just mix and match to make your experience more memorable.

You Set the Pace

Either you like to stare at a piece of art in a museum or you're a fast hiker, you set the pace of your tour. I know flexibility is key as well being open to expect the unexpected. Take your time to find the best angle for your photo or to eat your pupusas. Enjoy the moment!

You Can Ask as Much as You Want

With a private guide you can ask as much or about anything you want. The best way to learn is exchanging experiences and points of views. I'm pretty open minded. You can ask even those controversial topics people on large groups never dare.
