Cali calls itself — and is widely recognized as — the salsa capital of the world, and it's worth knowing the real backstory before your guide starts pointing out venues along the route. Salsa arrived from Cuba and New York by way of Buenaventura, the Afro-Colombian Pacific port city close to Cali, and found fertile ground in a city whose own population already carried deep Afro-descendant roots. The turning point most historians point to is 1957, when Cali's upper class organized a sugar-cane harvest carnival that became the annual Feria de Cali; when the pioneering salsa duo Richie Ray and Bobby Cruz played the Feria in 1968, the genre took permanent hold. By 1974, Cali was hosting its own Salsa World Championship at the Coliseo El Pueblo, and the city went on to develop a dance style distinct from both the Cuban and New York schools of salsa — reason enough that your guide may well route you past a dance venue or two even on a tour built around architecture and food.
Because this tour's exact stops depend on what you tell your guide you're interested in, the real value is in Cali's genuine variety: the colonial-era streets and hillside churches of the San Antonio neighborhood sit within a few kilometers of a modern downtown core built around the diverted Cali River, and the gastronomy ranges from Pacific-coast Afro-Colombian cooking to the sugar-cane-country dishes tied to the Cauca Valley's agricultural economy. A flexible, bilingual-guided format is arguably the most honest way to see a city this layered, since no single fixed route could cover architecture, food, and history with equal depth in the same afternoon.
