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.

5.00Had a great tour with Rem. He showed us through the main sites in the city and taught us a lot about La Paz’s history, local culture and fun facts that made me understand a whole lot more in depth than exploring on my own. Rem’s English is perfect and very impressive. Highly recommend!
Informative and fun

5.00Absolutely superb tour of the city centre. Our guide Denise was incredibly informative and achieved a great balance between cultural, historical and the occasion urban legend. In all honesty this was probably one of the best - if not THE best - tour I’ve ever done. It was totally fascinating and Denise was super engaging from start to finish.
Thank you, Rem.

5.00Thank you very much to Rem for this very interesting and pleasant tour! We recommend it. :-) but it is good to know what the tour is done in English and if you have questions in Spanish Rem will explain many things. I am very happy to know La Paz a little better. Love this city <3
Best tour guide, Denise!

5.00I did the Red Cap City Walking Tour through La Paz on a Wednesday afternoon at 2pm in November and our host was Denise. She was truly fantastic, such an incredible storyteller! She had some wild stories about the San Pedro prison, the Witches Market and the Government Palace. Denise really knew how to banter and make the group laugh. Very grateful for her leading our walking tour!
Great Walking Tour!

5.00My cousin and I did the walking tour through La Paz. We only had a few days in La Paz and this walking tour fit our schedule perfectly. We got to learn quite a bit about Bolivia in a short time. Mateo was our guide and he was great! Not only did he take us around to the sights, he also shared soooo much about history and culture of Bolivia. HIGHLY recommend this walking tour!
