The Cali Street Food Walking Tour
Description
Welcome to my introduction to my hometown: discover local culture while we walk amongst landmarks and try local snacks. Come hungry! I will take you through a list of food spots that I've personally chosen. From hots to colds, solids to beverages, sweet to salty, stores & street vendors, national and local, fried to baked, fruits to meats, and everything in between while we walk amongst the city's most famous landmarks. All tasting options are snacks. But if you know Colombia, you know... we like eating. Most people are satisfied by the end. Items you will be able to choose from: pandebono, buñuelo, arepa, empanadas, marranitas, papa rellena, papa aborrajada, aborrajado, chorizo, champús, ice-cream, coffee... and some more! Vegetarians welcome. Gluten-free people are welcome. Meat-lovers welcome as well! There are options for everybody.

Juan was a great guide - told us lots about the local food and culture and guided us to try some of the unknown gems of Cali street food. Would recommend.
Very interesting and comprehensive tour. Juan Camillo is very kind and available for questions! I recommend it to discover Cali!
We loved walking the lively streets of Cali with a local guide! He told us all about Cali - food, people, a bit of history, about the local way of life, etc. and we tried a few local foods. Highly recommend this tour!
We had a great time with Juan. The price was fair for the food given. If you’re a big guy like myself don’t be afraid to eat up. I also liked the length of the tour. We were able to take our time and enjoy all of what Colombia had to offer without feeling rushed. My favorite part was the local atmosphere I felt like a true local of Cali !
I really enjoyed this tour. It was great and we got to experience so much of the local people and food. I highly recommend.
