Good tour

4.00It was a good tour, seeing lots of sights of La Paz and El Alto, from both the ground and the air (in the cable cars). The views from the cable cars were great - snow capped mountains and we were lucky to have beautiful sun on the afternoon tour on the cable car down from El Alto. The guide was generally good, with interesting information. The tour started quite abruptly without much friendly introduction or personal touches, but we got to know each other better later on. It was great that they sorted the cable car tickets and helped guide you through the stations. The TripAdvisor description / 'What to expect' sections could be updated or made clearer that they may be example routes, as we didn't use a minibus through El Alto, the yellow or green lines or visit the stylish south. Maybe the minibus would only be on El Alto market days (Thur and Sun) but I didn't understand this from the description. I was looking forward to these parts as we had already ridden many of the lines we took on a separate experience. Overall, it was a good tour. You feel safe and looked after and we learnt lots more about La Paz.
A Must Do!

5.00Natalia was a great guide! She was very informative, pleasant, and helpful. La Paz is such a unique city, and the teleferico cable car system is amazing, so experiencing it with a guide just makes sense. Half the time was walking and half the time was riding the cars. It gave me the assurance I needed to follow up the next day and do all of the colors on my own, which was so much fun! Highly recommended!
You wont regret this city tour. 10/10

5.00Nikko was an exceptional guide! He provided so much education on Bolivians culture, history and politics. He did so in such an engaging way where I never felt bored (like other tours i have done). He also helped us purchase things in the market and showed us how to navigate the cable cars. He even passed on more information for our visit to La paz after the tour in a what's app group. 10/10 tour i would recommend anybody choose this company and ask for Nikko! Best guide I've ever had.
Carolina teaches you La Paz in a fun, entertaining and enjoyable way

5.00I took different tours in Bolivia and this was the last but the best. Carolina (in addition to speaking excellent English) is pleasant, fun. He taught me the real thing about La Paz, with things I didn’t know at all and that I love, surprise me! (I don't give examples for someone else to be surprised by)
Natalie was very helpful...
