“I feel bad giving this such a low rating. I had an exclusive tour because I was the only one who booked. I had two tour guides because the main tour guide really only spoke Spanish and I'm a native English speaker with limited Spanish, so the other girl came along to translate. They were both so kind and would rate this 4 or 5 just for them, but it's not just about them. At this price tag, I was expecting SO much more. Coming from Medellin where tours are so much cheaper and so much was included. I did a 12hr tour to Guatape for less than this. Anyways,…”

13.Friday Salsa Pub Crawl in Cali

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 23 reviews · 3 hours · from $25

Join Ana or Laura for a three-hour Spanish-language salsa night through San Antonio, Flavor Street, and Barrio Obrero.

The $25 price includes a guide, one brandy shot, reserved space, transport between later stops, and photos, but not most drinks or final entry.

“Ana was a great guide. Very cool girl. Enjoyed going around the various spots with her. The only improvement is to include at least a cheap beer/drink at each establishment. We got shots of aguardiente at the first place, but that was all. I was surprised by having to pay for drinks everywhere and by having to pay 20,000 entry fee at the club. I’ve done bar crawls in Europe that are much cheaper and provide a lot more! So value-wise it’s not so good, but I had fun and met nice people, which is the point!”
