5.00The creativity and architecture this charming city has to offer are amazing. It’s a stimulating and relaxing experience, and a must‑see tour in El Alto during my time in La Paz. I was impressed with the Cholets and the building murals. Also, Paola is a great tour guide!

5.00Since we saw them on YouTube, my wife and I have wanted to visit the cholets of El Alto. Paola was an excellent guide and kept us perfectly safe while we checked them out. We got to visit the interiors of the Batman and Ratchet buildings, which were pretty mind-blowing. I wish we could have seen more like the Titanic, but they are not open to the public at most times. Mamani is now one of our favorite architects.

5.00Highly recommend this tour! I had a lovely and informative afternoon with a local Bolivian woman which always makes any tour worthwhile! Learned so much about the culture and made it to parts of La Paz and El Alto that I wouldn’t have otherwise seen.
Not worth

1.00The guide was extremely nice - the English was perfect - I give her a five star but on this tour there is just really not much to see
Too much effort, with too little input.

1.00Very long trips with detours. Only 3 sightseeing points. Guide made an effort. However, unfortunately, he had too little knowledge and could not answer the questions.
Great tour!
