Walk through the Barrio San Antonio and get to know its colonial facades climb up to San Antonio Hill and visit its Church and the panoramic view of the city from its square and take a lulazo or a maracuyazo to refresh. Visiting the museums of Oro Calima, de la Merced and la tertulia or Caliwood is an experience. It's worth taking this tour. Thanks Camilo.

Was great to be guided around the city. Juan did a nice job for our private tour of 5 of us. Juan gave us history and context and took us to an assortment of places from a city park, to see ancient posters being made, and where we had samples of chocolate and sugar cane confections. There was a bakery and we ended at a local coffee shop with first rate Colombian coffee. Maybe the most interesting was the building that shows the history of the rebellions in the country and who was hurt and Juan explained the impact on the population. It was nice to walk around the old center of the city and see some of the murals and local activities

Thank you for choosing Gran Colombia Tours. We hope to welcome you again for another experience in Colombia!

We had an incredible time with our guide, Martha. She tool us through the historical squares, shared stories of artists and musicians of cultural importance to Cali, and shared very personal insight we otherwise would not have learned. She was also very accommodating to us with our requests and what we wanted to learn. Our favorite part was seeing some of the sights in San Antonio. Thank you so much!!
