Inclusive, Informative Experience with an Excellent Guide

5.00We were a group of three men, two of us complete beginners, and we had an excellent experience with Daniel. We started by visiting the Salsa Museum, where Daniel translated every part clearly and thoroughly. His English is very strong, and his explanations were not only informative but full of context and passion. You can tell he truly loves salsa not just the dance, but its history and cultural significance. Daniel is also an excellent dancer and a great teacher. After the Salsa class officially ended, he took extra time to help the beginners review and reinforce the steps, making sure no one felt rushed or left behind. Beyond salsa, Daniel is very well-cultured and easy to talk to, able to hold conversations on many topics. He’s friendly, approachable, and genuinely generous with his time. As a gay man, I especially appreciated how inclusive and respectful he was. I asked him to partner dance with me as a lead after class, and he didn’t hesitate at all. He made me feel completely comfortable and affirmed that dance is dance. That sense of acceptance made the experience even more meaningful. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cali—whether you’re a beginner or already love salsa, Daniel creates a thoughtful, inclusive, and memorable experience.
great

5.00The tour was lovely! Informative, interactive and fun. Susana is very passionate about salsa and also supporting the local communities, which is very commendable. I really enjoyed visiting Museo de la Salsa in barrio Obrero, a trip back in time playing the vinyls, playing musical instruments and sampling some authentic viche. the tour ended at La Topa, for more dancing and fab vibes. Thank you, Susana!
Unforgettable experience

The authentically local side of salsa in Cali

5.00Honestly such an amazing tour! Carlos Mario was awesome and full of energy, and veeeery patient teaching me salsa (and translating to English too). With multiple stops we got to see the many sides of the salsa world in Cali - from the history in a museum, to a very special local record bar, and topping it off with the craziness of the Friday night street salsa party. It was so authentic and something not to be missed.
Amazing memory-making experience
