    We shared a fantastic evening of live music, dancing and drinking with Susana and Carlos Mario. Not only was it a great introduction to Salsa's formation, history and development but also a great way to see different sides of Cali's vibrant culture through it's musical landmarks. Our special thanks for finishing the tour at the Andean dance event at the Parque Artesanal Loma de La Cruz (on Thursdays). Sharing this type of unique, lively, positive and communal experience with visitors is sure to attract more new-comers to Cali and made us wish we had more time to stay longer in this fascinating city. Thankyou for a truely memorable experience. 🇨🇴

    I was able to join the tour because I ran into the tour group at the museum, and I am so glad that I did! The guide has lived in Cali for a decade, and truly loves Cali. She shared generously of her knowledge and experiences of the culture, and took us to places that were authentic, with lots of local people. I am falling in love with Cali! I highly recommend the tour. We ended with dancing with hundreds, probably thousands of people on the street. Que rico!

    Such an enlightening experience. Susy and Chris were great so knowledgeable about the Salsa culture. I am so glad to have gotten this experience. Salsa is so sexy, especially if you can find a great dance partner. Watching the "seasoned" vets at the salsa club at the end of the tour was definitely the highlight. To see folks enjoying themselves from the simple pleasures of dancing is something a lot of Americans can take in. Susy's knowledge of Salsa is second to none. Her passion for the culture is clearly evident and she is also so very nice and easy going. It would take years to get to the talent level of the Caleños but some of the seasoned vets clearly still have it. This is a great excursion for those who want to slow down a little bit after going on adventures. Plus once you get to learn the basic steps, you can go out on the town and show off your "talent". Would definitely go again with friends from the states.

    By far something that you need to do while in Cali! It was a delight to learn from Susanna. I would absolutely recommend everyone to go on this tour. Susanna is very knowledgeable and kind. Everywhere she took us was fantastic. Going to both the museum and club was like walking into a time machine.
