Day & Night Free Tour Historic Downtown San Salvador
♡ Save
join us for a captivating tour! Discover churches, squares, markets and the best local cafes or breweries - discover the best of our vibrant city!
I have been a tour guide for six years, I love the Historic Center of San Salvador, because I grew up, live and work here since I was a teenager. I have a small bohemian bar, only for friends and tourists.
In my tour we visit churches, squares, markets, restaurants and places to taste a high quality coffee or a national beer.
If you want to know the history and folklore, I recommend the morning tour, if you want a tour that includes bars and restaurants, I recommend the afternoon or evening tours.
Remember that we have a tropical climate, for your enjoyment, bring sunglasses, hat and umbrella. If you book the tour, I will send you a message with more information, don't forget to confirm your attendance.
We will visit the Hula Hula Market, El Rosario Church, Plaza Libertad, Los Ilustres Bistro, San Salvador Metropolitan Cathedral, Ex-Cuartel Market, El Calvario Church and National Library of El Salvador (BINAES).
