Fun, romantic - Esteban was very friendly and so helpful! We had trouble finding the right address, and he was very gracious with us though we were late. He pointed out great other clubs for us to try after the tour.

A fun salsa dancing class!!! - Ruben is a Cartagena GEM! I booked this salsa dancing experience for me and my sisters. We range from absolutely no experience to a year of salsa dancing and Ruben (the instructor) is not only a GREAT dancer but an AMAZING teacher. He made it fun, light, and informative. From learning the basics, keeping frame, and executing turns, Ruben kept the class engaged with his teaching skills, humor, and energy. If you want to learn or brush up on your basics - before hitting the clubs - take the hour class. I would recommend the full 3 hour experience for anyone that wants 1:1 with an experienced instructor or if you have a salsa group looking for some pointers. Ruben was polite and especially accommodating when I wanted to learn the Cali style and when my sister said she likes bachata better. We had so much fun and you will too! 💃

Highly recommend this tour for beginners, Esteban is a great teacher! - We booked this salsa tour to prepare us for an upcoming wedding. Although we had no prior dance experience, Esteban is a great beginner friendly teacher and he’s also a talented dancer. We started the tour in a dance studio to learn some basic moves on our own and with a dance partner, then we took it to a salsa bar (+ some mojitos) to put our moves to the test. Highly recommend this tour if you’re new to salsa dancing!

Fun Salsa Dance Activity 💃🏽 - Our instructor Kevin was engaging and very patient. Loved the “authentic” salsa club experience after the dance lessons. This activity really made our trip memorable! Please make sure to wear comfortable shoes!

Fun Salsa time - Esteban was the best. Taught the basic steps and had us dancing in an hour. After our class we hit 2 bars and used our skills that we learned. This is not really a class for experienced dancers especially if there are a lot of beginners in the class. You would be bored. Overall we had a great night!

Good if you don't have plans - I don't regret doing it, as it was a way to get to dance Salsa as I'm usually to embarrassed to try. But price is way to high for what it is. You get less than 10 Euros worth of drinks and 1 hour of class. 45 Euros for Colombia for this is just way to much. When we arrived they were confused and it seemed like they didn't know they had reservations. The class was great - I learned a lot, so no criticism here. The bars we went to were all empty. Of course it was on a Wednesday, but I think there should be the information that during the week the bars might be empty and that they recommend to do the tour on the weekend. The city in general was very lively so I don't know if there wouldn't had been other options with more ambiente. The instructor is not the same person as the one who goes to the bars with you, which was also a bit odd. O think it would be better if it was the same person, as than he already knows which level you have. Both were nice though. All in all, if you don't know what to do in the evening and you're by yourself and want to practice Salsa and don't care about money - Do it. If you have a better option, better go for that one IMO.

Don't go if u want to social or if u want to learn alot of salsa other than 3 moves - Had to give one because i couldnt give 0. Instructor was good but awful management and planning. I was the only one booked and they didnt tell me before hand. My intention was to know more ppl so I asked them to cancel if it's just me and they were like no way. Who would dance salsa alone?! Also, in total 3 hours of dance class l learned 3 moves. Took me to nearby clubs as salsa tour( which r mostly ghost clubs) I highly recommend not to waste ur money on someone who don't care about your experience. Don't at all go if u r looking to socialise or wanna learn salsa. I even told them that I may end up giving bad review if I don't like and they didnt even care. So🤷🏻‍♂️
