Driver picked us up at our hotel he was punctual and friendly took us to meet our guide vehicle was clean and air conditioning worked perfectly I had asked for an English speaking guide as unfortunately I’m not fluent in Spanish Marcela was our guide and she was fabulous Marcela entered the car with a big smile a warm hello and o could tell instantly we were in for a great tour Marcela informed us she was born in Cali and she knew everything there was to know Marcela started out with a small history of Cali as we were driving to our first stop she took out maps and explained about the mountains in the area and how this affected the weather in Cali Marcela also had a clipboard as she pronounced some fruits a and terms in Spanish that we would most likely eat on the tour and during our stay she would print it out with magic marker and pronounce the words which I found very helpful Our first stop was Cristi Rey where she explained in detail about the statue and it’s significance and again she took out the map and reviewed the mountain range My 2 favorites were the sculptures of the cats and she gave us another detailed history which was very enlightening about hernando tejada and the trumpet that had groupo niche she explained the significance of salsa to Cali and she demonstrated and danced salsa with everyone in the group she made it very easy and fun We also had a stop on the walking part of the tour to have a lulada drink which was a welcome respite as it was hot that day We had time to discuss the writer Jorge Isaac As the tour ended we went back to the office and we tried different types of candies and drinks from Cali I would have to say the tour was very informative and complete Marcela is one of the best guides I have ever met Marcela knows Cali she is extremely friendly, knowledgeable, energetic, enthusiastic, warm and engaging and from the lesson I can see she is also a great dancer everyone on the tour had an opportunity to have all their questions answered answered I can see Marcela really loves her job and in the end that’s what it’s all about Thanks for a wonderful tour
Had an awesome experience with Marce and especially Don Armando. Both Marce and Don Armando knew their stuff around the city. They were also very friendly and social people. Made me feel at home in Cali. Would hands down recommend them for anybody looking to learn about Cali their first time around.
Highly recommend Valley Adventours if you’re visiting Cali! Marcela was a wonderful guide she was warm, knowledgeable, and spoke excellent English. I was here with a business associate, and we both learned so much about Colombian and Cali culture, history, and local life. Absolutely fantastic experience!
Awesome guide. Learned a lot about Cali
This tour was amazing! Cali has so much history, culture and beauty, I think it's only a matter of time before more people discover it and it becomes a major tourist destination. Marcela was a fantastic guide. She was so knowledgeable and passionate about her hometown, and it felt more like exploring the city with a friend than being on a tour. She shared loads of interesting stories and really brought the city to life. Even though it was raining, she somehow managed to get us into one of the sites just before it closed, which we really appreciated. The highlight for me was the mini salsa lesson inside a giant trumpet, such a fun and unique experience! We had a great time and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cali.
Wow, Thank your for a nice comment. You had the opportunity to see how we enjoy showing our city, and that the most important for us is that you have the best experience in Cali. Thank you
This was an excellent tour. Our guide, Marcela, was very knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging. She shared great information about the landmarks, food, culture, people, and music, making the experience both enjoyable and informative. Marcela also got me a cake for my BDAY and played the Colombian birthday song for me lol. I left the tour with a greater appreciation for Colombia and am even more excited to visit again. Highly recommended!
