2.00The guide was nice and really sweet, and trying her best but she didn't give us much information - just walked us around different areas. Also asked for tips at the end which was weird.
City views and a bit of history

5.00A mix of urban tour, politics, socio-economics of the city, as we traversed above the various neighbourhoods, in what's now the largest teleferico system in the world. It gave us a glimpse of how connectivity plays a great role in bridging the wealth gap. To be able to see the panorama of La Paz surrounded by the snow capped guardian mountains, is an added perk. Please bring layers as it does get windy in some of the stations at a higher altitude. The guides were with us in the cars on all rides
Amazing La Paz experience

5.00We went on this tour with Luis, and absolutely loved it. You get a very good taste of the city, by looking from a perspective. Luis is very professional, we didn't notice how time flew even though we were tired. Keep doing what you are doing, you are the best!
It was worth it. Guide...

5.00Take 10 bolivianos in cash for the cable car ticket, plus tip for the guide. The meeting point is in Prado (in front of the main gate of San Francisco). There is jarring information in Viator that if guided in the direction will end up next to San Francisco, not in front. Outside of this, it is an excellent entrance tour to get to know the interesting points of La Paz and besides not getting lost in the cable cars.
Great Intro tour to La Paz

4.00Luis was an excellent guide and gave us lots of insights into Bolivia’s history, culture and politics. It was not easy to climb some of the uphill streets but that’s the nature of La Paz.
