Gringo Tours Reviews

Didn't have a tour directly with Gringo Tours but they were super helpful when I got in touch. They organised a tour with someone for a day they didn't have any running themselves. They gave me loads of recommendations and advice on how best to get to the location, what to expect and helped me get a very reasonable price. Would definitely recommend them off my interactions with them alone! Thanks again!

What can I say... Roberto and his team were excellent!! He was very responsive, friendly, knowledgeable, and thoughtful! The drivers were attentive and safe. If I were to ever return to El Salvador there's no hesitation of who I'm calling!

We were visiting Suchitoto for a few days and we were looking for a tour company to take us for the War historic walk at Cinquera Forest. We found Robert’s company on google maps under Gringo tours. I dropped him a message and Robert was fast, reliable and managed to arrange a last minute tour for us the following day. I must say, it was an exceptional experience. Robert’s deep knowledge and passion for the area’s history brought the tales of the 80s vividly to life. He didn’t just recount facts but we felt we were in a documentary as we heard the stories, met local people in the area and an ex-guerrilla fighter. His company, which was very professional and well-organized, ensured that our tour was not only educational but also comfortable and safe. He was caring enough to bring us breakfast, coffee and took us for a light lunch. For anyone looking to understand the rich history of Cinqueria and the complexities of its past conflicts, I cannot recommend Robert and his tour company enough. Ahmad, Ayden and Anmar 05/2024

My brother-in-law and I booked an overnight road trip from San Salvador to Copan Ruinas with Robert, the owner of Gringo Tours. Everything fell right into order as planned. Robert and his wife Tita were wonderful traveling companions. It was like traveling with family on our road trip. Highly recommend using Gringo Tours and don't hesitate to visit El Salvador! An incredible experience!

We used Gringo tours twice during our visit to El Salvador and it was a faultless experience. We used them as a transfer service between a few places whilst we were there. Communication from the outset and throughout the process was brilliant, the journeys were quick and efficient and the drivers really friendly. For our first transfer they were there waiting for us as we landed with a sign with our names on it. Whilst the service might be more expensive than public transport options, I’d highly recommend this personal service to optimise your time in this beautiful country and the public transport can often be slow and require multiple changes.

Great tour with Robert and Pupusa making with his wife Tita. Communication with Robert was excellent and he had lots of useful recommendations and contacts for the rest of our trip as well. Would highly recommend.

Robert is an absolute pleasure to chat with and a wealth of information about things to do in El Salvador. I dropped into his office a couple days ago hoping to do a tour but unfortunately he was headed out for some vacation of his own. But he happily sat me down and gave me a ton of great ideas about things to see and do on my own, as well as put me in contact with someone else to arrange the tour that I wanted to go on. Just a super friendly guy. I recommend Gringo Tours 👍

Robert provided my wife and I an amazing tour through El Salvador. Not only was he very knowledgeable about the history of every site we saw, but he also had great information on the local birds, industry, agriculture, and all the changes going on in this dynamic gem of central America. He is quick with a great recommendation for a delicious meal or a fabulous cup of coffee. But most importantly Gringo Tours treats everyone in the communities they visit with the same respect as their client guests. Not only is the service top notch but they are sustainable and community oriented as well. I highly recommend Gringo Tours for anyone looking to see the best of El Salvador.

Perfectly organized trip in El Salvador. It was a pleasure having Rober as a guide. Very knowledgeable about the country, always on time, excellent suggestions how to organize the day, which is the best local food etc. The choice of the hotels was outstanding. Very quick communication even before arriving in El Salvador which was much appreciated. Very professional attitude from the beginning to the end of the trip. Highly recommended.

Robert is very knowledgeable and an excellent person with local knowledge. Highly recommended.

I had a wonderful birding tour with Robert, and a local biologist named Melvin. I visited some beautiful areas and saw lots of cool birds. Robert knows all about El Salvador and its history, etc. I absolutely loved El Salvador. Very beautiful, very safe! I highly recommend!!

I did the full mayan tour with Robert, and Ana on a recent trip to El Salvador. They also provided transportation to Ataco as well. I had a great time. Robert is very knowledgeble, and also bilingual which was a added benefit with my limited spanish. I would highly recommend using Gingo Tours if you are spending time in El Salvador. El Salvador is a beautiful country with friendly people and has a lot to offer. Don't let the media reports scare you away. Ben

We had a fantastic pupusa class with Tita, Ana and Robert. They kindly let us have a class on the weekend as we weren't there on a weekday. The class was so much fun, educational and we learnt some Spanish whilst cooking. I would highly recommend a pupusa class here. Robert also gave us recommendations for the rest of our stay in Suchitoto, El Salvador and Honduras. Thank you so much!

Highly recommend this company! We organized a private transfer from the airport to Suchitoto. Booking was really easy and the driver Carlos was the best! We also booked the pupusa cooking class in Suchitoto with Robert's wife Tita - it was amazing! They also make hot sauce and kombucha which we really enjoyed. Robert is a wealth of knowledge about the country, we learned so much! Plus he gave us a ton of great restaurant recommendations. We also ended up booking a private transpo from Suchitoto back to San Salvador and it was by far the most cost effective quote we got. If you are planning on going to Suchitoto (which you should, it is amazing) or if you are looking for easy and comfortable transfers, I highly recommend this company!

Thank you so much for the incredible experience we had in El Salvador, largely due to your invaluable contributions. Your recommendations were absolutely perfect, and your vibrant energy and positive spirit greatly enhanced our travels. We deeply appreciate your punctuality, your delightful company, all the suggestions and your introduction to some truly wonderful artists. I find myself reminiscing about the delicious tortillas and casamiento from El Tejado. Suchitoto is a gem of a place, and I often think of the friendly, slightly entitled, stray dogs. The kindness and warmth of the people in El Salvador have left a lasting impression on me. I eagerly look forward to returning with my family to relive these beautiful moments. And I can't wait to try making pupusas and perhaps some tortillas tostadas with Tita. Until we meet again, Robert! For anyone in search of a tour guide, you will be in excellent hands with Robert.
