* A traveler said: "We did this tour on the first day we were in El Salvador and it was perfect because it gave us a great introduction to the country and the people. Our tour guide was Dionicio, who we highly recommend as he was amazing! He shared so much knowledge with us and was very kind and patient the entire day. He made us feel safe and we felt comfortable to ask him any questions we had. Our only regret is that we did not book him for the entire trip! We chose to do the extra option of zip lining and the hot springs for our trip. We loved both, and we especially recommend doing the zip lining as it was an unforgettable experience and very well run! El Salvador Positive Tours is a great company and made sure to keep in contact via email and answer all of our questions. We will definitely book with them again next time we visit El Salvador. Thank you El Salvador Positive Tours and Dionicio for making our trip the best it could be!"
