Best way to spend your first day in LA Paz - It was great to see so many things without having to work out how to get places buy tickets, etc. And FERNANDO ,our guide, was very knowlegeable and encouraged questions. Tours are limited to 8 people so it's an easy group size to manage. Highly reccommend.

Amazing! - Simply amazing! I liked the tour, the guide Fernando who knew how to conduct a conversion group in English and Spanish very well. The tour is quite quiet to do even with the altitude, the guide explains exactly everything about the places we passed, the stories, gave tips of gastronomy as well. It was very worth closing this tour. Super recommend!!

Great intro to La Paz - Our tour guide, Nickey, was so informative, kind, and answered all our questions about La Paz. She spent extra time with us and took us to see the Sunday market in El Alto as well as a local place to try a Salteña. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone in La Paz when they are adjusting to the altitude. This is an easy going tour and you learn a lot.

My wife and I had a... - My wife and I had a wonderful city tour today with Louis who was very patient and friendly with us and was extremely knowledgeable about the city, about the country and about its history and culture. My wife and I learned so much from Louis and have much deeper understanding of La Paz and Bolivia and their history and culture. It was very insightful. We highly recommend this city tour and especially Louis as a wonderful tour guide.

La Paz on foot and by cable car - For me, flying over la Paz and El Alto by teleferico was the best way to see the city. There's no other city like this! Carolina as a local explained to us superbly why sacrificing to papamacha is so important for people and how to be advised on it at the witch market. A visit to the local Mamani gallery is also a must. I learned why 16 July is so significant and why independence was not achieved until 1825. Thank you.
