Hi 👋 I'm Juan, Cali local, born and raised here. Tourism is: something I love to do, something I am good at, and something I can make a job out of. That's why I have found a vocation in it. My tours keep growing, expanding, innovating, always a project-under-construction. They're never finished as I keep improving them with the experience every traveller brings. I speak superb english, native spanish, fluent portuguese, and some french. Thanks for considering me to show you my hometown. Welcome to Cali!

Juan was extremely knowledgeable and professional. He even helped with some other questions outside the tour which we were grateful for. We learned a lot about Calis history and he indulged us when we wanted to stop and take photos. If we had more time, would’ve loved to try some of his other tours. Definitely recommend and his English is perfecto!
