Unfortunately that day the master Jairo Varela founder, musician and composer of the Niche group passed away. In his honor, the mayor of that time, together with the Cali council, decided to change the name to the Jairo Varela square.

Great tour, great guide. - It was really great. My girlfriend and I was the only ones doing the tour that day, and Carlos was really a great guide. He told so much about the city, the people and the culture. He have been living in the city for more then 20 years, and he knew a lot about it. A really great tour and really worth it.

Highly recommend Juan! - The tour guide Juan was very great. We were a little late in the morning as there was some traffic, but Juan still made sure we saw all the different areas of Cali. Very beautiful tour. Juan is very knowledgeable of the different areas and history of Cali / Colombia. Would highly recommend 100%.

Juan is amazing - Juan was an amazing tour guide. He picked us up from our hotel and began the tour at the cat sculpture park which was lovely. It was a very intimate tour which I loved because we weren't squished with other people on a big bumpy tour bus. Juan came with a comfortable, personal vehicle, he was a very safe driver and very knowledgeable on the Cali cultural scene. It felt like being given an expert tour by a good friend who cares about your safety and happiness. I recommend this for travelers who enjoy walking, who don't enjoy large crowds, and who want to get a good understanding of the city on their first day here.

Extraordinary day! - Juan Carlos was amazing. Very personable, positive, knowledgeable and flexible. Willing to communicate in Spanish and English. Our tour was diverse and fascinating. We did a special trip off the typical tourist trail and into the barrio of Siloé. The people, street art and places we visited were beautiful and compelling. Juan Carlos also offers eco-tours to the Pacific coast, which I hope to experience next time we are in Cali.

Great way to understand Cali - Had a really great afternoon with Juan - his communication was clear and effective and logistics very simple which was helpful for a first time visit to Colombia - his tour was excellent for a 1st activity day to get the lay of the land and a few tips on where to follow up with other activities - as a local his knowledge was excellent
