Excellent experience - We were picked up on time by our guide, Abraham, and our private citytour in La Paz started. He was very knowledgeable, helpful and nice. Our tour was very vell planned and Abraham told us lots of relevant and interesting things about buildings, neighborhoods and events but he never talked too much about irrelevant details. He did a terrific job! Our tour was modified because we wanted to see the cemetary and another church, and Abraham was very well prepared to those additions to the tour. At the end of our tour he helped us buy the right tickets and choosing the right line in the teleferico.

The best way to spend three hours in La Paz - It was a great overview of the city. Our guide was SO informative. He even managed to wangle us into Plaza Murillo which was under security lockdown. Our exploration of the Teleferico system was fabulous. Thanks Fabian!

Stadtour - Luis is a very good tour guide. He knows a lot about it and can explain it in a very pleasant way. You can see a lot of this impressive city in a "short" time.

Nice walking tour - I was alone on this tour and they still did it. Which is already a great start. My guide was super informative and very friendly. It is a nice way to get to know the city as well as some insights about the Bolivian history. Would highly recommend and feel like I didn’t tip enough at the end, because it was really great :)

Good - It was nice to see La Paz walking around, and cool to experience the teleferico. However, our guide was not very good at English, and most of the time it was hard to hear anything.
