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
Very worthwhile tour

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.

5.00Good tour for day one in La Paz. The guide knows so many stories and is always ready to tell. Don't expect too much from this tour - but for city orientation it's a good tour.
