I had booked a tour through the city and by car to the hill with the statue of Christ, that was not possible because they were renovating and I still pay the full amount
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Hello There
Once they opened the statue of Christ the King we included it in our tour. I don't think you booked with us, I think this message wasn't for us.

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.

The Cali tour was terrific. Felipe was an excellent guide and gave us a full overview of the city. We were able to see wonderful sweeping panoramic vistas and stop off at all the important places to get a feel of the city. Filipe answered all our questions with a lot of depth and knowledge. His command of English was excellent. We really enjoyed spending the afternoon with him and feel like we got a great introduction to Cali.
Response from Host, Jan 2024

The first view of the city was amazing. However, the site was closed. We still got a good view of the statue. We absolutely love the tour, the only thing we would ask is that they offer pick and drop off. We were picked up and had to Uber back. Other than that, it was a great tour/
Response from Host, Oct 2023
Thank you we also loved have you here, thank you for choosing us and we are very happy you liked it. :)

Offering a visit to a landmark that isn’t even opened right now. That’s literally the reason we booked it,
Response from Host, Sep 2023
Hello there
I think this review was not for us, you not even took a tour with us.
I am sorry you have a experience, but it was not with us.

It was the perfect tour for a newbie in Cali. We were picked up by a very punctal driver who was very kind. We had a great time and we felt very comfortable with our guide, Juan, who definitely took care of us and was very considered with our group needs. Thank you Juan for this gorgeus day.

Andres was a wonderful tour guide. He was very respectful, knowledgeable, and overall fun to hang out with. For the price, you got to see many attractions and even got the opportunity to taste local treats. Transportation to the attractions is included, however, transportation to your hotel/accommodation will need to be planned. Ubers in the area are cheap and friendly. Would recommend.

I did enjoy the tour; the guide Marcela was very knowledgeable about her city, walking me through the Los Gatos Park and through the old town explaining in details the history behind the various sights we visited.
Marcela's passion about her city was very inspirational and made me appreciate Cali even more. She also suggested a good restaurant for lunch in the picturesque neighborhood of San Antonio. Well done!

This tour was the most comprehensive one I could find to introduce us to Cali, and our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable - skillfully driving us all over the city and answering our million questions. She had great insights on the culture and history of Cali, and really good recommendations for where else to go visit during our time there!
Response from Host, Jul 2022

Thank you

My tour was perfect, Natalia is very versed on the history of Cali, she was patient with all of our questions and even when taken off her script she handled our groups many many inquiries. If your gonna do a tour I strongly suggest Natalia. I had no idea Cali was as intriguing as it was, it’s a beautiful city! I urge everyone to request her! Btw I was so tired but throughly educated about this beautiful city! Tommy from Los Ángeles

Great tour, driving to nice viewpoints ... given by the owner of the company who lived in the USA for a while before moving back to Calí. She gives a lot of history or backstory to some of the points especially the cat park, the river parks are probably my favorite part of Calí. This is a must do -- there's some walking tour, but doing the free walking tour is actually a perfect compliment to this one, if you only have time for one tour or don't want to walk 5km/3miles then definitely do this one.
Response from Host, Dec 2021
Hello Corey
Thank you very much for the time and leave us a comment, we are very glad you enjoyed the City and the tours. We hope to see your again

Gabrielle was fluent in English which made this tour great. I really got a feel for the city and it’s history. We where able to see all the best tourist sites in under three hours. Gabrielle showed us some nice places to eat, dance and visit. I felt safe everywhere we went. The only down side is it rained part of the tour and my mouton view was not what I hoped it would be but still spectacular. I stayed outside of San Antonio at a Air B and B so I had to arrange my own transportation although they did offer. The driver I have been using since I came to Cali was less expensive and speaks English well. We returned to starting point and went to lunch until my driver arrived.
