Must Do when in Cali (More than Once)! - The choice of bars was excellent. Even the order at which we visited was perfect. It’s hard to pick a favorite from the three we visited and they all have their charm. Ana put together a tour that is unique to Cali and does it in a way that feels like you’re out in the town with a good friend.

Fun, Educational, and Comfortability - It was a great experience! For me, being a solo traveler and barely understanding the language our tour guides( Ana, Laura, and Carlos) were very accommodating and made me feel comfortable the whole night. I liked the tour because it was educational learning about the city and having fun, salsa dancing all night. I honestly recommend anyone coming to Cali, Colombia, should do this tour

Culture, music and flavor. - Our tour was incredible, my partner and I are from a city near Cali and we knew the city from work and so on, however, it was really incredible to experience the city from its night culture, its salsa and flavor. We received very good historical information about the city and its music, in addition to being able to enjoy it, dance a lot and meet new people. We recommend it 10/10 to experience Cali through music.

Different and unforgettable rumba - It was a unique and unforgettable experience, where you change the environment, get out of the routine, meet many people and get distracted, it is a different way of partying, I will repeat it as many times as I can and I recommend it 100%

I danced, I danced! - It is a splendid, fabulous experience! It is said that Cali is Salsa and here you can test, see and directly enjoy the culture of the Cali people in terms of salsa dancing. If you don't know Salsa... It doesn't matter! Your feet move on their own, the rhythm of the music and the people dancing around infects you. Ana is an extraordinary host, beautiful, cheerful, spontaneous, who makes the night unforgettable. I recommend this tour to everyone.

Salsa bar tour - We only went to one salsa bar not three as advertised. We had to order walk more than told to first bar. We ordered drinks but only the tour guide got a beer which she drank in front of us while we waited for our drinks. Finally I asked the guide to see what happened to our drinks. She inquired and they finally came. When it came time to pay my wife paid for ours and two others on the group. The guide then collected from them as well: double pay. The group of five traveled from place to place by two Ubers. Before she could order the second Uber the first one had to reach its destination.. Those in the first Uber had to wait not seated in the designated bar but on the narrow sidewalk with cars whizzing by. It seemed we waited 15 mins or more before the second Uber arrived. Overall this was a borderline scam. I would not recommend this tour to anyone. Two gentlemen in the group were visibly angry and were threatening to contest the credit card charge. The guide had very little insight into the feelings of the group or to what is proper etiquette for anyone in her position.

PLEASE AVOID THIS TOUR, DESERVES 0 STARS - The 100% rating on this tour is entirely false and 100% undeserved. Our tour guide Laura was very unorganized, she took us to a “salsa bar” with the beer included and had us order food. Rather than having individual receipts for each person that ordered, she had it all on one receipt and was incompetent (perhaps purposely) at splitting the bill appropriately. Another tour guest paid for us, and yet the tour guide insisted that we owed her money (perhaps because we were American and she had asked us our professions beforehand). When we got to the first bar, she was the first person to receive a beer, which we all found very rude especially since there was a 79 year old man with us (and we had to wait 20 minutes for drinks) that was doing his best to keep up with the tour, but was not offered any food or drink first. She then proceeded to finish the other guests wine while she was “handling” splitting payment, and she clearly was feeling the alcohol that she was drinking. She did not know how to accommodate the 79 year old man, and seemed very uninterested in doing so. By the end of the first bar all of us ended up paying for the beer that was allegedly included. She then would split up the group, place us in random Ubers to take us to the next place, the Uber would drop us off at a random street, and we had to wait for her to show up. Why did we pay the tour 1.5 million pesos between all of us to have them handle our transport with incompetence? She then would call us with an irritated tone (we were not comfortable taking out our phone in a very crowded street) to tell her where we were waiting for her, why didnt she know how to handle this effectively? Moreover, the historical information we received was the bare minimum if that. We understand that English is not her first language however plenty of us also spoke Spanish and she could have figured out a way to make sure the communication was clear and effective and it wasn’t. Also, when entering the last place, we were unclear on if we had to pay a cover charge, and was told that the beverage was free and included, yet we still had to pay $2000 pesos each (for what we have no idea). As Americans we certainly get taken advantage of, yes $2000 pesos is not much however there was a Colombian woman on the tour with us, and she was rudely confronted that she owed the tour guide 7k pesos (or 30k pesos depending on whatever she felt like saying) which is ridiculous because we can imagine that it was much more difficult for this woman to come up with the almost 200,000k for the tour, to then have the tour guide haggle her for more money due to her own incompetence and handling the bill. Naturally by the last place all of us on the tour agreed that we felt like we were being taken advantage of, and we tried to make the best of it amongst ourselves, the Colombian woman on the tour was nice enough to teach us how to dance salsa, which the tour guide didn’t do until she saw that the tour guest was doing it first. While at this bar, Laura engaged minimally with us and was on her phone giving off the impression she was uninterested in our tour. Laura then proceeded to take pictures and videos of us as the last place without consent to make it seem as though everything was fine, yet we were all at the time very disappointed and frustrated. We were all naturally cordial but that is not the same as enjoying ourselves. She and the tour organizer then reported someone else’s WhatsApp from the tour because they were explaining clearly, and respectfully that they felt scammed and wanted a refund. The amount of disrespect and incompetence from this tour was WILD. DO NOT DO THIS IT IS A SCAM! We heard from a much better tour that they have also heard complaints about the salsa tour.
