Good tour - After spending a day sick due to Altitude Sickness, we decided to take it easy and get this tour to show us around. Best decision! Our guide, Nickey, was phenomenal. She was very knoledgable, her English was very good, she was kind and was very patient with us been very slow due to altitude. She gave us really good recommendations around town (thank you for the veg restaurant rec, it was really good, and where to get busses to the Moon Valley, so helpful!). Really recommend

Excellent tour. 2.5 hours - Excellent way to see La Paz from the air. It is a very modern cable car network but also the tour involved plenty of time walking in the city. Our Guide, Carolina, had excellent English and was very knowledgeable.

Great tour - Great views from the cable car. Knowledgeable guide, also on general Bolivian issues. Guide was a little hard to spot at meeting point, though.

Great way to get to know the city! - Such a great way to see the city and understand the city and its history better. The cable cars were an awesome way to travel around and see more of La Paz. Fernando was an awesome guide and we learned so much from him. Definitely would recommend this tour!

Worth every minute of your time! - The entire tour was memorable because it was well curated and our guide, Luis, took time to point out unique aspects to us. The contrast between La Paz and El Alto, the interesting carvings on the iglesias architecture, syncretism and how it developed were all fascinating. He also gave us recommendations for restaurants and Peña’s, and introduced local snacks to us. Kudos to Luis, and thank you for giving such a wonderful tour!
