La Paz is a city that in my opinion is not easy to explore and understand without the help of those who already know it. We chose the private city tour to get the most out of the day we had, and the experience was great. Ronald, our guide, was at the hotel at the agreed time, and went with us to all the agreed places (Valle de la Luna, cable car, Murillo square, historic part, witch market, viewpoint Kili Kili...), with enough tranquility to get to know, take photos and learn more about the local history and culture. It was worth it! David, our driver, also deserves our thanks, very peaceful and helpful. Super recommended tour! Meet La Paz! Bolivia is an amazing country, and La Paz deserves to be included on the roadmap by the country.
Edson was a great guide and had many interesting stories to share. He also introduced me to local culinary specialties which was fun
The tour guide “Ed” is very knowledgeable, professional and flexible about the itinerary based on my interests and requests. Learned a lot about this country’s history and culture as well as local foods. Really recommend this tour to people who prefer small group or private tour.
This tour was the highlight of our visit to La Paz! Nicki, our guide, was everything you want in someone showing you their city: knowledgeable, friendly, a great photographer, flexible, punctual. The service was impeccable: she picked us up at our hotel, we toured the city for a few hours, had a fascinating chat at a store in the witches' market, then another car picked us up to take us to Valle de la Luna. Absolutely 100% recommend you do this if visiting La Paz!
Edson, the owner of Sami Tours, put together an awesome custom private half day tour of La Paz for us. We rode several teleferico lines and saw numerous sights around town. The tour flowed really well and we tasted some great snacks as well. Edson shared stories of the past and present with us and made us feel welcome in Bolivia. I highly recommend this tour.
Nickey from Sami Tours gave us an amazing custom private tour of La Paz. We sent Sami Tours in advance a list of things we wanted to see and do and they built a custom tour for us. The guide was knowledgeable and fun and we learned a ton about Bolivia's history and culture. I highly recommend this tour company.
This was a great way to get out on a long layover and explore the city without issue. Nickey was fantastic. We got to see so much and learn so much about the city that we wouldn’t have otherwise
Tour guide was super knowledgeable and also very flexible. Able to accommodate my tight schedule (was in La Paz for a long layover) and still have a great tour.
Great and very knowledgeable tour guide took me to areas if my interest ..very kind .saw some amazing sights and great local and cultural .shopping
We had a wonderful day tour with Edson. He and his assistant are knowledgeable and courteous. The tour exceeded our expectations. The overall experience is definitely 5 stars.
