When in Cali, You must do this Tour ❤️ - Super memorable private tour with Alejando ! Learned so much about salsa history , music and got exposure to playing instruments , visit salsa museum ( very cool ) , learn some basics of Cali salsa steps and as importantly connect with a guide who is passionate and knowledgeable and fun . Alejandro is super responsive and after the tour gave me many great tips and directions to have an amazing time in Cali ( had the best snacks and dinner - ask him ) . Being a solo female traveler , I also had the opportunity to feel safe and cared for . I love to salsa dance and taking a nighttime salsa dancing experience tour through Alejandro’s company , made my Cali experience complete ! I got to go to different clubs and dance on the streets and feel safe with a great guide ! Do both ! Loved my experience and highly recommend .

Awesome Salsa Tour in the Salsa Capital of the World! - We were very happy we signed up for this tour with Alejandro. Not only was it informative, interactive, and fun, but it was also very safe. We learned a lot about the history of salsa in Colombia, and we also learned a few moves to bring home! We highly recommend this tour to others. Alejandro's was very friendly and had great English. The 3 hours goes by very quickly!
