Love the salsa tour! I thought it was super complete. We danced, we learned to play instruments and we had a lot of fun while we were able to learn about their history. Alejandro and his team always have the best attitude and disposition! If I were to repeat it, I would certainly do it with them again.
An amazing experience in Cali

I did the tour “Cali Salsa Tour: Learn the History, Dance and Play Instruments” during my visit to Cali and it was an amazing experience. The tourist agency was very professional, and the tour was full of culture, pace and joy. I learned about the history of salsa caleña, danced with very patient and passionate instructors, and even played instruments! It is a super complete activity, ideal to connect with the salsera soul of the city. Fully recommended for those who want to live something authentic and fun in Cali.

We did the night salsa tour with the Alexandrian guide and it was a unique hope because he has had a lot of empathy with the whole group and has had a lot of fun, giving us in the dance and in the playing of musical instruments. Thank you very much for everything away, you see you have a soul and a lot of passion for your work

Super memorable private tour with Alejando ! Learned so much about salsa history , music and got exposure to playing instruments , visit salsa museum ( very cool ) , learn some basics of Cali salsa steps and as importantly connect with a guide who is passionate and knowledgeable and fun . Alejandro is super responsive and after the tour gave me many great tips and directions to have an amazing time in Cali ( had the best snacks and dinner - ask him ) . Being a solo female traveler , I also had the opportunity to feel safe and cared for . I love to salsa dance and taking a nighttime salsa dancing experience tour through Alejandro’s company , made my Cali experience complete ! I got to go to different clubs and dance on the streets and feel safe with a great guide ! Do both ! Loved my experience and highly recommend .
