A Tour that felt like a Family Trip.

Nacel_R, Jun 2024
I was under the impression I had written a review but apparently, it didn't go through so I am doing it again. This was the most beautiful experience I could ever have, María is my mom's favorite book, so going to the Hacienda was one of the main reasons for visiting Cali. The level of professionalism, attention to detail, kindness, and knowledge the staff demonstrated during the tour was beyond expectation. For the hours we were together their passion for their city made us fall in love with Cali and just the joy they had to share their city with us was a delight. We felt safe and definitely in good hands, any change was discussed with us beforehand and they went out of their way to accommodate our needs while still following the program. Please do yourself a favor and book this tour, it's absolutely worth it!

WOW... Thank you very much for such a great review. You cannot imagine how happy we are to read this and we really appreciate. We are glad you and your mom had this opportunity and thank you for choosing us. We hope you come back for more experiences.

Educational and Fun Day

This was so much fun. It was a lot more than I'd ever spent on any tourist attraction, but absolutely worth it. I was really surprised my tour wasn't canceled, because I was the only person who signed up that day. But it was absolutely like having two best friends show me around. It was easy to forget that traffic outside was so intense because the driver was such a pro. The guide was great - had a ton of trivia, knew the ins and outs of both sites (at the sugar cane museum --plantation-- it was self guided and not much signage, at Hacienda la Maria, there was an official tour and she was quietly translating for me). If I'm ever back in Cali, I'll definitely do one of their hiking tours.
