I learned so much about the culture and history of this absolutely beautiful country. My tour guide, Max Jiménez was fenomenal. Very knowledgeable and proud of his heritage and his country. I recommend him 100%!
Really interesting walking tour. Our guide Max knew a lot about the prison, culture and other things about the city! He was a very enthausiastic and nice guide!
Had 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
We had Rem as our guide, from Red Cap tours. His English was excellent and he knew a lot about La Paz. The tour was very good, and I would highly recommend it.
The guide was very chatty and funny. The tour included major landmarks
A must do. I learned so much of this unique city and culture.
We 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.
