    Excellent few hours touring Cali

    It was great to have a personal tour guide. Juan was knowledgable and enthusiastic about his home city, Cali. We saw so much and it was great to also taste some local fruit and coffee. Recent this tour

    An interesting walking tour of Cali with gastronomical foods.

    Pemiel_P, Feb 2025
    It was a very nice, informative, and gastronomical tasty tour. The tour guide was very informative and took us to different places to explain the development of Cali throughout the centuries. He also had nifty maps to show us the different geographical groups that have made up the history of the city. He also took us to several stands to try several fruits typical of the city.

    Very good city tour of Cali, Colombia, with Paul. I enjoyed my city day trip. I am from Canada and I like poutine.

    Hola! Thank you so much for your review! I’m really glad that you appreciated our tour. Hopefully, you can be back soon! Kind regards, Andrea

    We do not recommend. A terrible trip. We have been deceived.

    Dawid_D, Oct 2021
    I cannot recommend the guide highly enough. The tour program was not implemented. The guide took us to the CLOSED museum which we paid for. Even though we paid for a private driver, we had to VISIT the viewpoint on foot. What's more, it turned out that the driver went to the viewpoint, so as not to have to go up on foot, and was waiting for us there. I would like to add that the guide did not wear a protective mask and did not have a hand sanitizer gel in the car (WHILE ENSURED that it will be available). The trip lasted less than 4 hours despite PROMISES that it will last 7 hours. We feel cheated.

    Response from Host, Oct 2021

    We are sorry that you couldn’t have a good experience with us, and we want you to know that we have verified your experience with our tour guide. Our services are made to give you the most diverse and complete experience of each place, however, enjoying the tour will also depend on the attitude of the traveler. If you were passing through any kind of stressful situation outside the tour (as we noticed you were), we understand it would affect the general sensation of the tour. Regarding the total time of the tour, our itinerary has been designed so you can spend time enough in each place to stop, eat, rest or just enjoy. This amount of time varies for each person so sometimes the tour can be shorter, but in any case, we commit to stop in every place that we offer. In your case, you decided not to spend much time in each site, reason why the tour took less than planned. About the closed museum, we try to be informed about schedules but sometimes it is something we can not control, that is why our guide tried to give you more options to compensate, offering that you decided not to take. Last but not least, we will make sure that any health measurements regarding covid are fulfilled. However, your comment helps us to check our service to keep offering high-quality experiences. Regards,

    Una experiencia horrible

    leandro_c, Mar 2024
    El carro viejo y súper pequeño. Un chofer que supuestamente también era guía pero no sabía absolutamente nada de Cali Además pregunte en el hotel y un tour de Cali como el de ustedes dado con chofer y guía vale solo US$75 y el de ustedes solo con chofer he pagado $150. Fue muy malo todo.

    Response from Host, Mar 2024

    Hola, Leandro. Lamentamos que no hayas tenido la experiencia que esperabas en este tour. Hemos revisado la situación con el guía y hablamos con él para hacer un seguimiento de calidad del servicio y evitar que esto vuelva a ocurrir. En relación con el precio del tour, por favor ten presente que nuestro servicio es totalmente privado e incluye seguro y todas las entradas. Además al ser reservado en un marketplace, este suele quedarse con una comisión, por lo que el precio suele ser diferente. Aun así, te aseguramos que hemos tomado medidas para no repetir estas experiencias. Esperamos que nos des una nueva oportunidad para poder mostrarte el gran equipo que tenemos. Hello Leandro. We are sorry to hear that you did not have the experience you were expecting on this tour. We have checked the situation with the guide and spoke with him to follow up on the quality of the service and prevent this from happening again. Regarding the price of the tour, please keep in mind that our service is totally private and includes risk insurance and all entrance fees. Also, since it is booked in a marketplace, the marketplace usually keeps a commission, so the price is usually different. Even so, we assure you that we have taken measures to avoid repeating these experiences. We hope you give us another opportunity to show you the great team we have.

    Recomendado!

    Un gran paseo por Cali

    JoseLuis_J, Jan 2022
    El guía muy competente, me llevó paseando por toda la ciudad antigua durante tres horas, enseñándome restaurantes y centros de salsa, contándome historias y leyendas de la ciudad y el paseo del Gato. La vista al Cristo fue curiosa también. Un solo pero, no quiso ponetse el tapabocas a pesar de que yo lo llevé todo el tiempo

    Response from Host, Jan 2022
