    Spectacular guide, Passionate Tour

    Guy_B, Jul 2026
    Chris was a spectacular guide. He is very passionate about Cali And Salsa. He keeps the tour moving, gets everyone involved in activities and dance steps, plays informative examples of music styles and tells great stories. He also showed us the work of several local artists and explained the back stories. The walls come alive once you understand the back story. He also gave us a few opportunities to sample local food and drink.

    Awesome salsa experience in Cali!

    Juliana was amazing on our tour today, we learnt so much about salsa and really enjoyed walking around Cali as well. Definitely recommend this experience if you’re in town here!

    Great tour! Do it!

    Dwight_F, Dec 2025
    Awesome tour. Great information. Our guide Cristian, had great energy. He explained the history of the city, importance of salsa, we played instruments, and he even taught some dance steps. Highly recommend.

    History Tour of Cali

    The tour guide Cristin was amazing he was very knowledgeable and made what would be a boring experience fun. I would highly recommend doing this tour

    Best way to start a trip to Cali

    Jimmi_S, Sep 2025
    This tour with Christian and Beyond Colombia is the best walking tour ever. I’ve never been on a tour where you leant dance steps in addition to the best spots in town to visit. I wouldn’t know half of what I know about Cali without having done this tour. Truly a special experience with an incredible guide.

    Great view of Cali with awesome eats

    Mary_T, Aug 2025
    We weren't really sure what to expect in Cali. It was the one city we visited with really no plan in mind. We opted for a street food tour because we love to eat. The tour wasn't simply eating, but we also learned about the city of Cali, salsa, and influential people of Cali and Colombia. In terms of food, we stopped several places along the way, but spent the bulk of our time at an indoor market. The market was awesome and you can get just about everything you could want from there. As a pescatarian, I was a little worried that I wouldn't be able to eat a lot of the food. There was only one item I couldn't eat which was a pleasant surprise. Our guide recommended a few places that we visited - a salsa club and a spot that hosts indigenous dancing on Thursdays.

    Salsa, Graffiti & Resistance Tour with Cristian

    Simone_T, Aug 2025
    Cristian was an incredible guide—warm, personable, and so much fun! He gave us a crash course in salsa history (plus some “salsa survival skills” 😆), and showed us Cali’s vibrant street art scene. What stood out most was his thoughtful explanation of how music, dance, and art serve as forms of unarmed resistance and empowerment for the community. The combination of rhythm, creativity, and social impact made this tour one of the highlights of our trip. A must-do in Cali!

    Book directly with Beyond Colombia

    Keyuri_A, Mar 2025
    This is a free Walking tour by "Beyond Colombia" that viator charge for. I suggest booking directly for free and giving money as tips to the guide instead of giving money to Viator

    Good ride, accompanied by music:)

    Citlali_Q, Jul 2026
    The experience is very good. Viviana's service was very professional and, in addition, she is a true salsa enthusiast! I highly recommend it
