- Flaartista190 contributionsVery educationalOur guide, Juan was very interesting and knowledgeable about the history of Cali. We enjoyed our visit to the Cristo del Rey and the Parque de Los Gatos.

I have taken several tours from Gabriel and Valley Adventours and they have yet to disappoint me! The team is always great at communicating how / when / where they will pick us up and always arrive on time. Once the tour is underway, the staff is knowledgeable and can speak in both English and Spanish which helps as I am American by my girlfriend is Colombian.
On this tour, we went to the Alameda Market where we were able to taste all of the local fruits and flavors as well as visit the meat section, the flower section, and enjoy a tasty fresh juice of our selection.

We came with no big expectations, but then we met marce, a charming local guide who has really nice manners and great English. She gave us an amazing, and authentic experience in the market, explaining everything about every fruit we tried, and focused on giving us the best experience possible.
I really enjoyed every part of it!
An experience specially recommended for anyone who is new to cali

My guide was Marcela, and I have to say it was one of the best tours ever! Marcela is not only knowledgeable about the gastronomy and local culture, but she is also one of the nicest people I have met in Colombia. The street vendors warmly greeted her; she knew everyone, and it was such a great experience to have someone who genuinely cared about tourists and locals. I would recommend the tour to anyone who visits Cali and if your guide is Marce. you are already a winner!

This was truly one of the best experiences I’ve had on a tour. Marcela, our guide, shared her extensive knowledge of the fruits and typical dishes of the region; she is an expert at what she does. We had the opportunity to learn so much and most importantly, to connect with the culture. What a wonderful experience! And it wasn’t only her knowledge that impacted us, but her kindness with everyone she came across, her beautiful personality shined as we watched everyone welcome her. Lastly, she has a unique ability to personalize the tour so we felt welcomed with her.
I am extremely satisfied with this tour and will highly recommend it. Marcela is fantastic guide and made this tour an unforgettable one!

The experience was lovely. Marcella and Julio, our guides for the day, took us through the whole variety of fruits presented in the Galería Almeda in a very enlightening and gentle way. We were also presented with some local dishes which we were able to taste. The hours went by very fast and we are now continuing our journey through Colombia with a much higher level of knowledge as far as fruits and foods are concerned. Thank you very much

Passionate, experienced and spreading good vibes! We were able to taste so many fruits, snacks etc. and got great information about the things we eat! Absolutely recommendable!

The tour began with an explanation of the historical background of salsa music and salsa food. After going into the tour with a thorough understanding of the unique convergence environment of College Station, which is the midpoint between displaced blacks and indigenous people, I easily understood the broad explanations, including the fruits and foods produced and the local economy and exports. I was very satisfied with the tour, including the fruit, food, fresh juice, and coffee I tasted while visiting more than 20 stores. I would like to thank Marce for making the tour fun with his extensive knowledge, friendly explanations, and warm smile. I highly recommend it to all travelers, especially Korean travelers who are unfamiliar with Colombian culture and food.

Our guide Xiomara was a delight. Informative, engaging and sweet. She took us to a bustling marker where we saw and sampled many types of fruits - so many I lost count of them. She had little informational cards with the names of the fruits and medicinal properties. And she had relationships with many of the vendors. Colombia has many fruits not familiar to us in the USA and it was fun to learn about and sample them. Most were delicious. I highly recommend this tour.

Karina was an excellent guide to help us navigate through the food market. She has many connections around the market and they are very attentive to the group’s needs. She was well prepared with utensils, trash, and wipes. Each fruit she introduced to us with a wealth of knowledge behind it’s origins. We sampled delicious coffee and some locally sourced honey. It was an excellent way to learn about the vast variety of fruit found in this beautiful country!

We had great fun with Marcela showing us around Alameda Market, she seemed to know everyone there and that made the trip all the more special! The tastings of all the fruit on offer was excellent, so much to try! There was a great buzz from the market! Could not recommend enough!
