    Fast and easy reservation. Francisco kept us informed with our itinerary, hotel selection and airport pick up. Everything was on time from the moment we landed in El Salvador. Every site, from the tour selection was amazing. Beautiful places and the people make this country a great place to visit. We felt secure through out the country and ventured on our own at night feeling a sense of security. Our tour guide Alex Padilla was amazing, patient, knowledgeable, and friendly. Thank you Tour Radar and Inter Tours for making our Trip unforgettable and truly amazing. Miriam and Rafael

    It was such a wonderful tour! The tour was very organized, combined with both activities and enough personal time to explore the highlights of El Salvador. Regarding the tour guide, Alex, it will not be enough to describe how wonderful he was throughout the tour. Alex is a knowledgeable guide; he explained the Mayan ruins exceptionally well. Moreover, it becomes easy to connect with your guide when he/she also knows world history. Thanks to Alex & Fransisco for being so caring and helpful. I will highly recommend this tour.

    Most of the trip was good Francisco and his wife could have not been any better, then with my trip climbing the volcano Francisco was the BEST. Alex his associate seemed most of the time disinterested. One day while with him he wanted to stop to eat at a Mc Donalds, I preferred not eat there versus something more from El Salvador or a street vendor. while driving he ate two bags of french fries and then pulled over to go out of the car and eat his sandwich while I sat in the car and waited. While climbing the volcano I was not sure he knew where he was going, and I did ask him which way to go while he was on his phone and walking with hesitation. Then I was watching where I was stepping and hit the ground, as he stopped again. He had no idea on what to do, another tourist offered to help Alex brushed him off stating he was "my driver". He drove me to the hospital no water or towels to stop or clean up the blood or dirt.

    Laura

    Asked on October 18th, 2025

    Is this trip suitable for a 15 year old boy? Are there any options to add a 1-2 day tour in addition to this 6-day tour? Or is there a city destination that we can explore ourselves for1-2 days after the tour ends?

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • Inter ToursOperatorWritten October 2025

      Yes it will be nice for a young person. I suggest to change the visit cerro verde to climb santa ana volcano, which is one of the most popular adventures in the country. You can stay 2 nights at el tunco or zonte village, where some of the most important surf tournaments take place and you can enjoy the beach and perhaps surf lesson, visit the fisherman warf, visit tamanique cascades.

    • L

      Laura

      TravelerWritten October 2025

      Could you clarify changing the visit from cerro verde to climb the santa ana volcano? I saw on day five, both cerro verde and santa ana volcano are listed. Could you share the proposal and cost for your suggestions at el tunco or zonte village? Currently I am thinking of starting the tour maybe on 12/24 but am not sure yet. Will shops be open or closed on 12/31 and 1/1?

    How physically demanding is the tour? Specifically for day 4, on the 100 stairs to the clouds walk, how difficult is that activity?

    Tour Details
    • Inter ToursOperatorWritten February 2025

      The 100 stairs is optional activity in ataco, the visit to cerro verde hill is a easy walk in the forest at your own speed. The rest is regular walking.

      The departue is guarantee, and it will be a private tour as there is no more people booked on this departure. As long as they can walk by them selves this tour can run. We have spaces on 11,12,13,14 we can run the tour just for them. No price change, no worries. But hurry.
