    · January 16th, 2025
    I loved my eight day El Salvador Adventure. We were 2 women and felt very safe. My tour guide Miguel was professional, knowledgeable, extremely helpful and accommodating. The hotels were each very different … former coffee plantation, luxury hotel, and beach getaway. The included breakfasts were all. delicious. I recommend this tour to anyone who wants an overview of this beautiful and diverse country.
