“Unfortunately, I was unable to attend this tour but the Juan was very helpful and accommodating. He offered to provide a refund but i chose to pay for the missed activity to honor their refund policía. I took a hummingbird tour with this company that was absolutely memorizing! I booked that directly with Juan through whatsapp after signing up for this activity and don't have a way to review it through viator. That said ths hummingbird tour includes driving into the memorizing near Cali and spending time at Finca Alejandría "El Paraiso de Los Colibries". I can't recomend this highly enough.”

“Last weekend we took two salsa classes with Marlon, who was recommended by a friend of mine. We knew nothing about salsa, but he taught us the basics in a way that was super useful. It’s incredible how clearly he explains everything and how he makes sure you feel comfortable, even if you speak little Spanish. After the classes, we felt so much more confident dancing in Cali. I would recommend Marlon to anyone, he has such a positive vibe, is extremely patient, and explains everything so well. This is a class that truly helps you understand and learn salsa, instead of just memorizing steps and counting on the dance…”

“I absolutely loved this craft beer tour in Cali! 🍻 Even though the tour was in Spanish (my mistake when booking), it turned out to be the best decision. I don’t really speak Spanish, but I understand quite a bit, and Ana was incredibly kind and patient. She spoke slowly so I could follow along, and when I didn’t understand something, she explained it in another way. We visited some amazing bars, learned about different local beer styles, how to taste them properly, and even played a super fun game that I got to take home with me. The atmosphere was friendly, relaxed, and full of laughter — even with…”
