What To Expect
Plaza Cochabamba in Sucre, Bolivia, is a small but charming square located in the city's historical center. It's known for its peaceful atmosphere, surrounded by colonial-style buildings and leafy trees that offer shade to visitors. The plaza features a central fountain and benches, making it a popular spot for locals and tourists alike to relax. While not as large or famous as Sucre's main square, Plaza Cochabamba has its own quiet charm and is often a place where you can experience the local way of life.
Plaza 25 de Mayo

5.00We had a great morning with Hugo! His command of English is great and he was able to bring us to some of the important sites around town and explain in great detail about them. We gave great recommendations of things to do after the tour as well. It was well organized and definitely worth the money (including tip… don’t forget to tip your guide!)

5.00A very interesting tour, which covers lots of historical and important locations within the city. My guide Carla, was very knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. She took me to several locations, I wasn't expecting. This helped me gain insider knowledge for the rest of my stay in Sucre, so recommend doing this walk as you arrive. I was also able to ride public transport with my guide, which was a great experience too.
An excellent walking tour with a very knowledgeable and personable guide.

5.00What a fantastic walking tour of Sucre. I highly recommend. We were shown around the city by Carla who looked after us very well. Carla took us on a local bus which was a great experience and one we would never have done without a local. The bus was great as it took us up to the high point of the city with the best view.

5.00At a high altitude of over 9000 feet, I felt not able to self walk to explore Sucre, then signed up for this tour less than 24 hours before the tour and inadvertently requested a Spanish speaking guide. Realizing the mistake, I emailed and messaged via What App to Manuel He assured me that my guide would be English speaking.That guide was Carla, with perfect English and vast knowledge of Sucre history. It was an interesting history lessons, the significant meanings of dates named for plazas , the indepency war. We visited the cemetery where mausoleums of Bolivian presidents and others, tombs of middle class and workers' class. Then Carla took us to Main Plaza, and other places by public buses. The interesting part of the tour is the 3 legends of Black cat alley. We had good time at Central market , bought tropical fruits,( guava in season) and enjoyed fresh fruit juice, combinations of passion fruit, mango and oranges. Over all, Carla is informative and professional. I highly recommend this tour, especially with reasonable price
