Great tour in a great city! - The tour was complete and interesting. We visited beautiful sites, and Marcela knows the city, and its history, as well as the best places to eat, dance, and buy souvenirs at good prices. She had the best attitude and was very kind. It was a great tour to gain a basic but complete knowledge of the city.

Very nice connections - It was great fun. I stayed in Cali for a month and this tour immediately made me feel comfortable in the city. My guide was Julio. We started talking and in the weeks that followed he showed me a few things. That was really nice. Such a super chill guy. I highly recommend Valley Adventures and especially Julio if you go to Cali!

ATTEMPTED Kidnapping❗️❗️ RUN❗️❗️ - ❗️❗️ NEVER GO ON THIS❗️❗️This tour company was stopped by the police while happening. There were two of us and the police told us the company did not have the correct documents… it was most likely a kidnapping attempt by the company for us and we left on police recommendation. DO NOT GO HERE!!
