5.00This was a wonderful experience for my wife and myself. The guide, with a most engaging smile, picked up on our interests and made sure she lailored the tour accordingly. She went out of her way to ensure we knew how to get back to our lodgings at the end and invited us to contact her at any time during our stay in La Paz if we had any questions or needed additional guidance. We would be delighted to go on a tour with her at some point in the future.

5.00Beatriz was a great guide. Attentive. And informative. The fact that I was in places with no other tourists. Is what appeals to me. You get to see real people doing real things. Don’t hesitate. Book this trip. And see La Paz from another perspective. And enjoy the cable cars and views.
Great Trip
