The Tour that never happened!
Arrived early to pickup spot and I messaged guide that we were there at park. Never heard from them. Also called them directly with no response. Did not expect this experience. Please be careful when booking this tour.
Response from the operator: Hola lamentamos mucho lo ocurrido nuestro correo no mostro la reserva, pero de seguro te hicimos la devolución de dinero, como pueden ver nuestros comentarios siempre han sido muy positivos

"Marlon Brandon" one more Cali attraction
A whole experience, since Marlon picked us up at our hostel was very attentive and cordial, took us through neighborhoods full of art, and was explaining the city so that we felt safe where to walk and where not, showed us neighborhoods such as San Cayetano, the hill of the cross and alameda, where he took us to visit the market square the gallery alameda, and made us discover fruits that we did not know existed such as granadilla caucana, curuba, borojo, uchuvas and chontaduro, more than a guide became a great friend, because apart from the tour then invited us to know how to live the nightlife in cali, took us to the boulevard to the street of the sauce and other places that we certainly would not have known if it were not for his recommendations and for his company, more than Cali, Marlon is the whole experience is one more tourist attraction of Colombia, Marlon Brandon as we told him became our leader of party and experiences in Cali, super recommended

Salsa class
Last weekend we took two salsa classes with Marlon, who was recommended by a friend of mine. We knew nothing about salsa, but he taught us the basics in a way that was super useful. It’s incredible how clearly he explains everything and how he makes sure you feel comfortable, even if you speak little Spanish. After the classes, we felt so much more confident dancing in Cali. I would recommend Marlon to anyone, he has such a positive vibe, is extremely patient, and explains everything so well. This is a class that truly helps you understand and learn salsa, instead of just memorizing steps and counting on the dance floor. If you want to feel comfortable in Cali’s salsa scene, he is definitely your guy!

The best possible person to experience Cali with! // The best possible person to live Cali!
In English: If you want to have the best experience in Cali, spend as much time as you can with Marlon! He was recommended by a friend of mine, and I’m so glad he did! Marlon is such a positive, easy-going person with a kind heart and a great sense of humor. From the very first moment, you feel completely comfortable around him. We did it all, and the best part was that all experiences were so authentic and local, from the incredible variety of food we tried (eating quickly became our favorite activity! 😹) to the places we visited. Every day was so great: exploring the city, enjoying delicious food, taking salsa lessons, and ending the night dancing until late in the bars. It couldn’t have been better! It’s hard to pick a favorite moment, but Santa Rita River stands out — relaxing, swimming, and drinking micheladas was pure bliss. Whatever you want to do — tours, salsa classes, even Spanish lessons — Marlon can make it happen. He’s your guy! My stay in Cali was so special, and I enjoyed every moment thanks to him. One thing is for sure: you won’t leave Cali without making a great friend like Marlon! 💛 In Spanish: If you want to have the best experience in Cali, spend as much time as you can with Marlon!

Why this scores 72
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Food tour in Cali with exotic fruits, breads and drinks: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cali.
How much does Food tour in Cali with exotic fruits, breads and drinks cost?
+
Prices start at $34 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 Food tour in Cali with exotic fruits, breads and drinks 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 Food tour in Cali with exotic fruits, breads and drinks worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 16 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 Food tour in Cali with exotic fruits, breads and drinks?
+
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 Food tour in Cali with exotic fruits, breads and drinks 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 Food tour in Cali with exotic fruits, breads and drinks?
+
Around 6 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 Food tour in Cali with exotic fruits, breads and drinks 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 A day to enjoy nature and have an adventure in the Jordan river, Shared Tour of the Historical and Cultural Center of Cali, City Tour + Commune 13 Medellin. 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.
