Excellent Tour Guide for a Short but Enriching Visit to Asunción - Octavio was an excellent, professional tour guide. He was a true gentleman, highly knowledgeable, and made the experience enjoyable despite my mistake of visiting Asunción on a Sunday when many museums were closed. Luckily, the railroad museum was open, and I thoroughly enjoyed it—thanks to Octavio's guidance. Asunción may be a small city, but it has a rich history and unique culture that are worth exploring. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you're short on time.

Great Experience! - It was an amazing tour with Mateo. Very nice guy, friendly, energetic, patient and very knowledgeable. He has traveled to a lot of countries and he knows so much about the history of Asuncion, Paraguay and South America in general. He explained everything in detail and showed me all the important sites and more. We saw a lot for a two hour tour. We also tried some local sweets and a local drink and I went to a great rooftop bar he suggested after with an amazing city view! Well worth it! Thank you!

Excellent tour in Asuncion - Our tour guide, Mateo was excellent! He was very courteous, informative and caring. I have traveled to Asuncion many times, yet Mateo took us to a few, new important historical buildings I had never been too. We felt very comfortable with Mateo showing us through the city streets and making sure we avoided any foot missteps on the tricky sidewalks.He went out of his way to be sure we had a table in the popular Lido Bar for a wonderful lunch. The Chupin de Surubi is excellent which he suggested. A real pleasure to spend our morning on this informative tour! Highly recommend!Muchas gracias!

DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR - First of all, there isn't really much to see in Asuncion. It is a nice city with a long history, and I assume the museums are a good place to go. However, this tour gives you the option as to what time you start. I picked the latest time, 5pm, so I had the day to do other things. The guy shows up and I find out that the museums, which are a big part of the tour, are all closed. He also tells me he doesn't know why they offer the late tours since the best time for the tour is during the morning and early afternoon. So, basically, I took a long walk in the rain and the cold, saw a couple of museums briefly while they were closing...and finally called it quits about halfway through. I have travelled all over the world and taken tours with many companies and have never experienced a tour operator doing an obvious money grab like this one. The guide himself was nice and helpful, but he is just a cog in the machine. I blame Viator and the tour company for this debacle. They even offer you a choice of how many hours you have on the tour. I would assume that they have things to show you that can last up to that long. I booked four hours, but after walking around in the rain and the dark and visiting a couple of museums while they were closing, I quit after two hours. DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR.
