Great way to orient myself around the city, explore the city’s history and hit all the major attractions! - I’m so sorry that I don’t recall my guides name but he was amazing. I really for a good sense of the history and layout of the city. We went to lots of great places including the iconic ones but also some little known spots. He gave me fantastic recommendations for food and things to do. Everything he recommended was spot on exactly what I was looking for and I’m so happy he helped me feel comfortable and confident in my further explorations of Cali.

Great English speaking guide - A well organised tour with a really knowledgeable tour guide Juan David who spoke amazing English. There was only my partner and I so we ended up getting a private tour. There were many chances to stop and try local foods and plenty of time to look at the monuments. Would recommend

Great tour - Juan David was an excellent tour guide. He is a history expert and it shows. The tour was a nice pace and I learnt a lot about the history of Cali as well as general Colombian history. As the only non-Colombian in the group, he made an extra effort to deeply explain the historical and social contexts of some of the sites that he knew I’d be unaware of. All was much appreciated ❤️

Cali like at home - It was spectacular! We feel at home with our wonderful Guide Marcella!!! He surprised us with a salsa class at the Niche museum, which we hadn't planned on and we had a great time, we ate marranitas and luladas and watched the sunset along the mall. Really 100% recommended
