Getting to know Cali fully - A very nice walk and full of new places. We were able to see Cali from above and then down into the city itself. The guide Marcela surprised us with several moments that made us happy. We had a great time! Juan David, a very attentive guide and ready to always take the best photos.

Fantastic introduction to Cali. - A fantastic tour and introduction to Cali. Our guide, Juan Daniel, is a local artist and obviously has a deep love and understanding for his home town. Insightful, knowledgeable and engaging. The town itself has a rich history of creativity, struggles, resilience and, of course, music.
