Cali is full of tourist attractions and hidden gems to discover; museums, parks, squares, churches and monuments... But visiting it by public transport and without a local guide is very oppressive! Why waste time and money with complicated maps, when there is a perfect solution? You will get to know Cali through the eyes of a local expert, visiting the main cultural, touristic and historical attractions in the city center, having the opportunity to taste typical fruits and drinks, living the true Cali culture. We will start at our office in the San Antonio neighborhood, walking for about 15 minutes towards the historic center. After an introduction to the city at the Jairo Varela plaza we will begin our walk through the historic center, getting to know its old architecture, parks, theaters, churches, museums, cathedrals and monuments dedicated to important people in our history. Experience the best of Cali safely and discover yourself.

We had a great time with Chris (Christian) during the tour in Cali. He was extremely engaging and informative, and was thorough in explaining the history of the city. We would highly recommend this tour with him.

I really enjoyed this tour. Marcela was an absolute pleasure to have as a guide. I am writing this review in English because I figure most travelers interested in booking a tour will want to book a tour in English, but both languages are offered! I took the tour in Spanish and Marcela went out of her way to make sure I understood everything. The tour I took was great to learn about the rich history of Cali, barrio San Antonio, and Colombia as a whole. Definitely recommended.

We got an amazing tour from Marcela, who was passionate and enthusiastic about her city! We were with a small group so she even tailored the tour to our interests. Would highly recommend her!

The tour was really interesting and complete. The guide Juan David was doing an amazing job and is a pleasant person to be around. He had an answer to every question, and although we saw a lot of the city and also tried cool foods, it never felt rushed, and very relaxed. We had a good time. I would always recommend it with Juan! 100%

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.

Juan David was an amazing guide!! We highly recommend this tour as we were flooded with facts we wouldn’t have heard of otherwise. We had the chance to taste many différents specialties of Cali and Columbia. Don’t hesitate further!

I had a great time and was always well informed. Great tour through the city to get first impressions of Cali! Even the rain could not stop us and the guide was well prepared with ponchos.

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

Hello and good day! Thank for booking your next experience with us. Keep in mind there will be a considerable amount of walking, it is not a challenging walk but you should bring comfortable shoes and appropriate clothes for the sun. Bring sunblock, and also some mosquitoes repellent. The city is usually very sunny and we don’t get frequent rain, but it is a tropical weather so it’s very unpredictable and you should bring something with you for the rain just in case. The drop off is not included, the tour finishes in the neighborhood of San Antonio which is great to visit, walk around and is full of very good restaurants. If you have any other questions or requests please let us know.24 hours before travel date - 100% refund
