5.00The best walking tour I have ever done! Such interesting information with pictures and video’s shown as examples as well. Charlie explained everything very well and kept our attention the whole time. Visited both iconic places of La Paz as well as local spots I wouldve never found myself. Must do in La Paz!

5.00Honestly was amazing. 10/10 would recommend. I was very lucky and no one had signed up so it was just me and the guide - Charlie. Charlie was unreal, he showed me his favourite empanada place when I said I was hungry and hungover, told me all these amazing stories and history while still keeping it interesting and engaging. Charlie definitely made the tour so ask for him if possible but still the walking tour really explains the amazing history of La Paz that you wouldn’t get if you didn’t search for it.

4.00You walk almost all the important places of La Paz and its histories but the tour in some parts should be more interactive with the locals.

The best introduction to La Paz

5.00Charlie provided an informative and entertaining walking tour of La Paz that included many of the interesting locations in this unique and fascinating city. His knowledge, candour and humour made the day. A ride on the Teleferico to the El Alto market capped a fun day. I would recommend this tour as a great introduction to La Paz. Thank you!
