5.00Had a wonderful tour with Max who was entertaining and thorough. Covered the main sites but plenty of time to discuss controversial issues (like wars with neighbours, and civil conflicts) So good it over-run. It made our trip to La Paz

5.00We were traveling with Mateo. He was the perfect guide! Incredibly friendly, open and informed. We were able to hole him with questions on all areas - whether society, culture, religion, business or politics - he knew a lot about everything and always tried to explain the different points of view to us. We felt very safe with him in the streets and markets of La Paz.
