Cali: City Tour | Guided tour around the city

I had an amazing experience with this tour! Fernando was an outstanding guide friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing the history and culture of the area. He took his time explaining everything, answered all of our questions, and made sure everyone had a great experience. The transportation was comfortable with air conditioning, which made the trip even more enjoyable. The tour was well organized, we never felt rushed, and the entire day was a lot of fun. I highly recommend booking a tour with Fernando if you’re visiting the area. Five stars!

Armando (driver) and Gabriel (English and Spanish tour guide) were an exceptional team. They were punctual, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about Cali's landmarks and fascinating history. The tour was well balanced, combining walking and driving, with interactive stops along the way and some refreshing local treats to finish. It gave us a much greater appreciation of Cali, and as an added bonus, we finished with a great list of places to explore when we return! Thank you, Gabriel and Armando, for a fantastic experience!

Our driver Armando was always on time with an air conditioned, comfortable car for us and our guide Gabriel was fluent in both English and Spanish which was great for our group. He was also very knowledgeable and friendly. Great tour!

I spent several days exploring Cali and the Colombian Pacific with Valley Adventours, and I can honestly say this was one of the most meaningful travel experiences I have ever had. I did several tours with them: Bahía Málaga for whale watching, the City Tour, the Walking Tour, La Alameda/Local Market experience, and the Comuna 20/Siloé tour. Each one showed me a different side of Cali and Valle del Cauca: nature, history, food, community, resilience, culture, and the warmth of Colombian people. Bahía Málaga was unforgettable. The Pacific region is powerful, raw, beautiful, and deeply alive. This is not just a “tourist activity.” It is an experience that connects you with nature, local communities, the ocean, and the real Colombian Pacific. The whale watching experience, the landscapes, the boat rides, the food, the people, and the rhythm of the place made it truly special. The City Tour and Walking Tour were also excellent. They helped me understand Cali beyond what you usually see online. I learned about the city’s history, architecture, music, culture, and local identity in a way that felt safe, organized, and authentic. The La Alameda / local market experience was one of my favorites because it felt real. It was not staged or overly commercial. It was a beautiful way to experience local flavors, everyday culture, and the richness of Cali through food and community. The Comuna 20 / Siloé tour was incredibly powerful. It is a tour about transformation, resilience, art, community, and hope. Seeing the murals, the viewpoints, the MIO Cable, and the stories behind the neighborhood gave me a completely different appreciation for Cali. This is the kind of experience that helps travelers understand the heart of a city. What makes Valley Adventours special is not only the destinations. It is the people. Fernando was kind, present, and made the experience feel safe and enjoyable. Marcela was exceptional. She is organized, intelligent, warm, and very attentive. She communicates clearly, follows up, explains details, and makes you feel taken care of before, during, and after the tours. Karina was also excellent with communication. Everything was handled with care, clarity, and professionalism. Andrés brings kindness, knowledge, and a genuine love for what they do. You can tell this company is not just trying to sell tours. They care about the experience, the travelers, the guides, and the communities they work with. Something I really appreciated is that they are honest about logistics. If the weather, the ocean, the tide, transportation, or group size can affect the itinerary, they explain it clearly. That level of transparency builds trust. As someone who has traveled and worked in operations, I deeply value when a company cares not only about selling the experience, but also about protecting the quality of the experience. Valley Adventours does that. If you are visiting Cali, do not just stay in the city center or go only to the most obvious places. Book with Valley Adventours. Let them show you Cali, Siloé, the local markets, the culture, and if you have the chance, the Colombian Pacific. Whether you are Colombian, visiting from abroad, traveling solo, with friends, or looking for something authentic and meaningful, this company is an excellent choice. I left with beautiful memories, deeper respect for the region, and a full heart. Highly recommended.

We had Fernando as our guide. We appreciated his insights, historical knowledge, friendliness, and his engaging personality. With an infant in tow, Fernando was also very patient and helpful. It made seeing Cali an enlightening experience. Highly recommend the tour and the guide, Fernando.

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
