Must do! - Such a great tour! Saw so much in just three hours. The in depth information about the witches market was so amazing and I learned a lot about the culture. The cable cars were spectacular and so fun to navigate the city that way. Our guide was so nice and knowledgeable! Cannot recommend enough!

Good city tour - Nice easy tour of the city centre area. Good way to see the city from above in the cable car system. We spent time at the Witches Market with explanation provided about its history and the rituals. Interesting stories behind parts of the city along with recommendations for where to go and what to eat.

Fun walking tour in La Paz - This walking tour is a great way to see the fun and sometimes bizarre city of La Paz. Travelling around the city on cable cars is certainly a unique way to get around and learn about the history of the city!

La Paz Gondel Tour - It was a great tour with lots of interesting information. It was very cool to see the city from above. Our guide had spoken perfect English and could answer all our questions. I can only recommend this tour.

I was satisfied - Although I don't speak English, and the other people in the group only spoke English, the guide only spoke that language, but he had another guide with him who passed me the guidance in Spanish. But I liked it a lot, I thought it would be just the good, but it took other places too

Great way to see La Paz! - A really worthwhile tour. Our guide Mickey, was very knowledgeable, and took us around all of the major sites of the city. She shared lots of interesting facts and stories. I really enjoyed going through the markets, and seeing all the sites from the Teleferico. The cable cars are the best way to truly see the city. If possible, would also recommend taking the tour on a Thursday or Sunday, so that you can witness the size of the El Alto market from the cable cars. Really recommend this tour.

Waste of time and money - Very disappointing tour. Tour guide was late and not identifiable as described - no official branding. There was minimal information about the locations we visited or Bolivian history, and the guide was unable to answer many of our questions. There was a lack of leadership, and often we had to ask what district we were in and the significance of this area and relevant monuments. Getting around on the teleferico was very disorganised and chaotic. Had to wait a while for guide to buy tickets and struggled with using the turnstile. At times felt we were leading her around the city. Would not recommend at all, save your money!!! Found out more about the city from the other European tourists in our group…
