Awesome! - Had some challenges with the hail storm and brownout at the museum but Susanna more than made up for it by ramping up the experience!

The authentically local side of salsa in Cali - Honestly such an amazing tour! Carlos Mario was awesome and full of energy, and veeeery patient teaching me salsa (and translating to English too). With multiple stops we got to see the many sides of the salsa world in Cali - from the history in a museum, to a very special local record bar, and topping it off with the craziness of the Friday night street salsa party. It was so authentic and something not to be missed.

Fun with locals - The tour was great. The guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about the history. We went to very local salsa clubs and danced alongside with them. Doesn’t matter what lever your dancing is at, everyone is welcomed. The closing show was great as well. Highly recommend.

Full salsa tour - The tour is surprisingly deep and long. Totally worth it. It is also one of the very few options to do a salsa tour in Cali in English. Carlos Mario was an incredible guide. We didn’t know how to dance, but by the end of the evening we were willing to continue learning!

Best salsa experience with the best host! - I would recommend visiting Cali just for this experience. Susanna is a brilliant host who is truly passionate about Salsa and Cali. The tour is very well designed covering all the varieties of salsa, history around it while you learn some very cool dance steps in various bars and in the famous street party. Susanna was very warm and gave us the best recommendations to explore cali. This was one of our most memorable evenings of our lives.
