The absolute Afro Cali Experience! 5 STAR RATING * * * * *
This was the absolute Afro Cali experience. Andres was very friendly, practical, and he was willing to learn from me as he guided the tour. He is very popular among the locals and supports the Afro businesses. His selection of street art showed and provoked many questions about the status of Afro people in Cali. He was able to explain and show how Cali has grown to become very inclusive to erase the stigma of race. The tour was scheduled for 2.5 hours but we sat at the final stop to get Nancy's Cholados for about an hour and a half. We coincidentally met and spoke with another friend an Afro (from the Pacific Region), a retired Social Studies teacher who really put the icing on the cake by going in depth with Cali Afro history. 5 STAR RATING * * * * *
Response from the operator: Amorrell, I am glad you enjoyed the experience and connected with the soul of the city, which includes the deep and rich cultural history of my people. Thank you very much.

Andrés is great!
I booked this trip for my family who were visiting Cali for the first time and it was a hit! Andrés was extremely kind and my family who went felt very looked after by him (especially since they were older). He was incredibly knowledgeable and truly transformed how you look at murals. He is very personable as well and communicative before the tour so we knew where to go which was really helpful. I would absolutely recommend this for others!

Do NOT MISS this!!
Experienced the Afro tour with Andres. First, I have been to many countries and partook in many cultural tours. But it's rare to have a guide who truly shows passion for their work. Andres knows the history, cuture and the feel of Cali. His knowledge on the artists and what they mean to Cali and the struggle of the Afro and indigenous people. This is A MUST do when visiting Cali!! Unfortunately I can only give 5 stars but this definitely deserves 10, for Andres alone!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind words. We took a journey through culture, history, gastronomy, urban art, and my people. It's not just about finding places, it's about discovering meaning. For that, you need to be a leader, and you are one. Niche vos jabes Sincerely, Andres Jimenez.

Amazing Tour of Cali
Andres was an amazing guide! We experienced the Afro Tour Colors of Cali with Andres providing lots of information about the history of Cali along with providing insight into the culture. I highly recommend Date Un Borondo for authentic tours of Cali.
Response from the operator: Ebony Princesses, it was a pleasure to have you here. You have so much energy and a great sense of humor. You're always welcome in Cali. Thank you so much.

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Afro Tour The Colors of Cali: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cali.
How much does Afro Tour The Colors of Cali cost?
+
Prices start at $57 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cali usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Afro Tour The Colors of Cali take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cali is not rushed.
Is Afro Tour The Colors of Cali worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cali, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Afro Tour The Colors of Cali?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Afro Tour The Colors of Cali suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Afro Tour The Colors of Cali?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cali can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cali and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Afro Tour The Colors of Cali start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cali within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cali?
+
On Outty we rank every Cali experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tour Guatapé, A day to enjoy nature and have an adventure in the Jordan river, Shared Tour of the Historical and Cultural Center of Cali. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cali?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cali?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Afro Tour The Colors of Cali?
+
Included: Bottled water. Not included: Private transportation. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Afro Tour The Colors of Cali?
+

What languages is Afro Tour The Colors of Cali offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Afro Tour The Colors of Cali?
+
