Free walking tours in San Salvador

Definitely a must do if you are in the city, you will learn a lot of diverse and interesting information about El Salvador, and make sure to ask about the other tours they do!

We initially booked another tour with someone else because Dave’s tour was fully booked. We canceled that tour after 30 minutes because we didn’t enjoy it. The next day, we booked the tour with Dave, and he gave us a great explanation about his city! Thank you, Dave!

Dave was really friendly, really knowledgeable and has a big personality which made the tour very enjoyable.

We had an amazing tour with Gio and Carlos! They showed us around the historic centre of San Salvador and it was a lovely experience :) They told us a lot about the buildings there, the history of the country and gave us many tips for places to eat and go in the city, I can highly recommend this tour! Both the guides were very kind, helpful and could answer all our questions

Gio ha sido un guia excelente, atendió a todas nuestras preguntas, nos habló de la historia y cultura tanto del país como de la ciudad, y nos llevó a comer unas pupusas con horchata deliciosas!!!

Very professionel and interesting

Nice walking tour at a fairly slow pace, so no rushing. Isaac waited for us as we were running late, and he gave good recommendations for us to come back to after.

Isaac is a very talented natural tour guide! He knows his stuff well and talks in a very engaging way. He was great at socializing with the entire group and was able to answer any questions. We enjoyed our conversations with him. 200% would recommend when in San Salvador!!

Awesome free tour! Our guide Carlos was very generous with all the informations he shared about history, politic and more! I higly recommand this tour! ;)

Fantastic way to start your trip in El Salvador- visit places you wouldn’t otherwise, meet new people and gain some insights into the historical, political and culinary sides of San Salvador.

Erick was a great, friendly guide with lovely insights to the city.

Excellent tour! Dave was one of those great tour guides - balancing history with politics and sociology. Came with low expectations. Left with a big "wow" about El Salvador's story.

We really enjoyed the tour. Isaac is awesome, he did a really good job. We learned a lot and he explained in a very interactive way. Time passed by very quick.

Matheo ist super lieb und ich hatte einen tollen Nachmittag mit ihm. Ich konnte viel über San Salvador lernen und alles war super interessant :)

Die Tour mit Erick hat viel Spaß gemacht und ich hatte eine tolle Zeit. Wir haben uns sowohl das Nightlife, als auch Sehenswürdigkeiten angeschaut und Erick war eine super lustige Begleitung :)

Incredible walking tour with David! He was full of energy and very passionate about his city and his country. He took us on a great tour of the major sites in the city, taught us a lot about history, current affairs and politics, and the people. He also took us to some local places to eat quesadillas and pupusas. David was super friendly and answered all of our questions and got to know each of us too! Thanks again David!

Dave is an asset to El Salvador. His energy and passion are unmatched and we had a wonderful time in his company. Thank you Dave!

Wear comfortable clothes and shoes. Dave was very enthusiastic about the great changes the country has made and demonstrated it with the stops we made.

Die Tour war wirklich großartig – ich kann sie nur weiterempfehlen! Unser Guide Gio hat uns etwa drei Stunden lang die Sehenswürdigkeiten und die Geschichte von San Salvador sowie des Landes nähergebracht. Besonders spannend war, dass er auch persönliche Einblicke und Erfahrungen mit uns geteilt hat. Auf alle Fragen hatte er sachkundige Antworten – man merkt sofort, dass er sich in seinem Themengebiet hervorragend auskennt. Insgesamt eine wirklich interessante und bereichernde Tour!

It was only two guests on my tour and Gio did a fantastic job in showing us round .!! He knows the city well and had most of the information inquired on the tour .!! We made. lunch stop at a local Pupusaria (which I thought was a bit pricey than other options in town) but then being in centro, that much différence is to be expected I guess..!!" It’s NOT a particular’y LONG tour but the heat will make you take frequent stops. NOT many spots in the shade along the route .!! Thank you Gio, you were wonderful & informed guide and great resource to discuss life in El Salvador with.!! Muchas Gracias por le todo .!! Sarv.

Very fun to do this walk with Dave. We had a very good time! Got recommendations on what we can eat and not miss to see on our visit in San Salvador! Very good speaker, and entertaining to listen too! Thanks for a very nice walking tour!

Carlos was very professional!! He didn't cancel the tour, even if we were only a small group of people and took us to all main attractions of historic city center! Was very detailed about history of the country plus building's architecture and happy to answer all of our questions!! It's a must to learn the cities hidden mysteries!!

Tuve la suerte de hacer el tour con el señor Erick en San Salvador y fue una experiencia excelente. Desde el primer momento, la dinámica fue como la de un paseo entre amigos. El señor Erick demostró un conocimiento profundo de la ciudad y de la historia de El Salvador. Me llevó por lugares importantes, explicó el contexto histórico con claridad, y siempre estuvo dispuesto a responder preguntas y adaptar el recorrido a mis intereses. Se nota que disfruta lo que hace y eso se refleja en la forma en que guía. Si buscas una manera auténtica y entretenida de conocer San Salvador, definitivamente recomiendo hacer el tour con el señor Erick. Fue una experiencia muy enriquecedora. Nos vemos señor Erick ajaja

Dave is the talk of the town! I have met so many travellers that have toured with him and they all have great reviews. His patriotism and energy are unmatched and very refreshing to see

It was an excellent walk with a top guide. 3 hours went very fast. Dave is a superb and very interesting guide. I would say the best guided walk I’ve done. He is passionate about his country and knows the history very well and shares his knowledge in a fascinating way. He is a very very good guide.
