An Excellent Walking Experience - Charlie was our guide for the walking tour. He was polite, engaging, observant, and above all very knowledgeable. We had a comprehensive overview of La Paz in about 3 hours that left us wanting to learn more. Charlie was passionate about the indigenous culture and traditions and took the time to explain many of the rituals and practices during our walk through the Witches Market.

Learned a lot, inclines are a workout - Charlie did a great job showing us around La Paz! I felt like I learned a lot of interesting things about the culture as well as fun facts. He was also super considerate of my mom who was having trouble keeping up. The inclines at this altitude were tough.

Interesting and Informative - would recommend - We had a great time on the tour with Nelson! We covered a lot of area within the city and learned so much about being a local/the history of the city/various traditions. The group wasn't too big which was nice for asking questions. Would recommend the tour early on as it is a great way to get an understanding of the neighborhoods, food, and culture.

10/10 - Great tour. Really insightful and entertaining. Guide, Nelson, was brilliant. Booked through altitude and they said it started at 2pm when in fact it started at 3 - just an FYI.
