The tour guide was amazing!

Jul 2022

If you are looking for an amazing tour company in El Salvador, I highly recommend Positive Tours! I booked two different tours with them and both were amazing experiences. I reserved my tours on weekdays, in the early morning, so I was the only one in the tour group. This made for a more personalized experience and allowed us to conduct the tour at my own pace, which I liked!

My tour guide for both excursions was Josué and he was fantastic. His english is superb and he is extremely knowledgeable about the area, so it made the tour even better.

The two tours I reserved were the Santa Ana Volcano/Lake Coatepeque tour and the waterfall/El Tunco beach tour. Both were excellent choices! The hike up to the peak of Santa Ana Volcano was not too extreme and the views were worth it. Lake Coatepeque was absolutely beautiful! I was able to rent a cheap jetski and cruise the lake by myself for 30 minutes (30 minutes is more than you think on a Jetski!). The waterfall tour was breathtaking - we saw several waterfalls and I was able to swim in a few spots. I even got to cliff jump!

10/10 experience. I would book with Positive Tours again during my next adventure to El Salvador!

A Tour you will NEVER forget!

Josué was awesome! 1st time in Salvador but it felt like home after attending Josué's tour! As a solo attendee I never felt solo (there was another person from the US who joined) but still he provided solo attention to each of us which is impressive. Overall, I was able to have a very memorable hiking experience (would suggest wearing layers & good hiking boots/shoes), taste great Pupusas (be prepared to LOVE this food!), go water skiing (not included in the tour but became included!) & have a great lunch w/awesome views (live band music at lunch taking song requests)! This summary should be reason enough to join Josue's tour but for anyone still undecided about booking w/Josué & the Co. he works for, here are 4 few unforgettable highlights: 1.) Our tour group reached the top of the Volcano 1st & was 1st to make it down! 2.) Josué has a degree in Tourism & has great pride in teaching about El Salvador but also about the intercontinental connections between El Salvador & all of the Americas including the US 3.) Josué was adaptable enough to add new experiences to the tour itinerary such as stopping to get Pupusas before hiking or grabbing delicious ice cream midway down the Valcano & 4.) We became 1 big hiking group w/other tour groups & tour guides when coming down the Volcano so much so that other Estadounidense/US Citizens who were touring w/other guides joined in taking 1 big photo together at the top. Simply put, you will NEVER forget this tour. So what are you waiting for, make a reservation already my friend(s)!

Amazing Santa Ana Volcano tour & Tour guide are super friendly

Nov 2022

We had one of the best tour guides! Josue was so friendly and informative; he picked us up from our hotel and drove us to our destination. He was knowledgeable about the area, and we learned a lot about El Salvador that day. Our hike was so fun! The best surprise was seeing a guy selling ice cream at the top of the volcano! (I love ice cream 😊)
Josue is a fantastic photographer! Also, He is extremely kind! My birthday was the day of our hike, and I happened to mention it when we got there. At the end of our hike, we went to Lago de coatepeque to grab some food (The food was so tasty and cheap). After our meal, Josue surprised me with a dessert for my birthday. My boyfriend and I were surprised (we weren’t expecting anything like that). Josue is such a fantastic person! 110% recommend him and this hike.; the dessert was sooo delicious!

Must do in El Salvador

Francis is our tour guide, and he was excellent.
He was very punctual, professional and knowledgeable.

The tour itself was amazing, well organised and enjoyable.
The view from the top is breathtaking and Francis knows all the good spots to take photos :-)
The lunch by the lake Afterwards was exactly what the group needed after a four hour hike and the view was phenomenal.

This is a must do in El Salvador.

Jul 2022 • Solo

As someone who has traveled to El Salvador 10 times before, I was surprised how much I learned on this tour. Francis is an excellent guide and was very friendly. I really enjoyed the hike which was about four hours in total. The restaurant we were brought to in lake Coatepeque was delicious and overlooking the water. I was so impressed that I took another tour with this company with Josue to Routa de las Flores and the Santa Teresa hot springs which was also absolutely gorgeous. If you want to learn a lot and have a great time in El Salvador, i can not say enough good things about this company. 10/10 would recommend.

Most thoughtful guides in El Salvador!

Jul 2021

Francis and his team of guides are superb. We arranged a tour to hike the Santa Ana volcano on a Wednesday this past July. We were honestly some of the slowest people that day and our guide was patient all throughout. He waited for us and didn't discourage us at all. He was also informative and didn't get annoyed with all the questions I had. I always have a lot of questions!
I would recommend this tour to beginners, and advanced hikers alike but I ESPECIALLY encourage first time hikers to book with El Salvador Positive Tours. They will be patient with you unlike other tours I have heard of. They also know a lot about the flora and fauna of the area so you will learn a lot even if you're out of breath.

Amazing hike

Mar 2020 • Friends

We booked a hiking tour to the Santa Ana volcano and lunch at Lake Coatepeque after. Herbert came to pick us up at around 7:10am and was early, so he kindly waited for us to have breakfast before we started our drive to the volcano. On the way there, Herbert shared a lot of interesting information about his country and the volcanoes. When we got to the volcano, unfortunately, the weather was too bad to climb up. The park rangers only opened the third viewpoint and allowed tourists up as far as that. Herbert was great with offering alternatives, and suggested that we either climb the Cerro Verde and Izalco or drive through the Ruta des Florès. We decided to go with the hike, and he kindly arranged for us to head up the other two volcanoes instead. Herbert was enthusiastic and a fantastic hiking partner. He waited for us when we slowed down and he would let us walk ahead at times. He also took lots of beautiful photos for us! After the hike, he drove us to the lake where we had lunch at a restaurant he recommended by the lake. Food was fantastic! Would definitely recommend this tour, and ask for Herbert as your guide!!

Great Volcano Experience

May 2022 • Solo

This tour is well worth your time and money! Francis is a fantastic tour guide—knowledgeable, upbeat, speaks fluent English, and is always ready to help with photos. The route up the volcano is challenging, but totally doable. The views from the top of the crater lake are incredible, even if the weather is cloudy. All in all: would totally recommend as a day trip activity while you’re visiting El Salvador.

Amazing Experience

This was such a memorable experience! My guide was Josue and he was amazing! He communicated very well with every step of the way for our hike to Santa Ana Volcano. Before our hike I mentioned I haven't had pupusa yet and he made a quick stop for me and it was so delicious. He is even such a great photographer because the surrounding views during this hike was spectacular and he was able to capture those wonderful moments for me. After viewing the beautiful views and sights there was a man selling ice cream and Josue suggested a flavor I wasn't familiar with called zapote. It was so freaking delicious. After our hike we headed over to a local restaurant with beautiful breathtaking views of lake coatepeque from above. I had Josue suggest a meal for me since the menu was in Spanish and also a local beer. The meal was absolutely the best food I had while in El Salvador. It was so much I couldn't even finish it and I'm a big eater. I highly suggest this tour especially if you can get Josue as your guide.

A Must Do

This was such an AMAZING experience! The views from the top of the volcano is breathtaking. Our tour guide, Josue, was well informed on explaining the ecology of the volcanoes and surrounding area. He also went above and beyond to take some memorable photos for us all, and assured we were all safe during this adventure. Would definitely recommend this tour and Josue as your tour guide!
