Not a single bored second - The most amazing tour one can ask for, ESPECIALLY considering the price. I was traveling with my younger sister and we are broke students but the guide Denise was so wonderful we decided the tip was worth being taken out of the budget. Can’t recommend enough.

Great tour with Remberto - Had a great day with Remberto on the La Paz walking tour. We saw lots of interesting sights and Remberto made for an interesting, funny, and knowledgeable guide. We learned a lot about the city and Bolivian politics more generally, and also got some great recommendations!

Super interesting walking tour - I really enjoyed this walking tour with Denise. Often I forget a lot of the information told on walking tours but this was super interesting and therefore I was able to retain lots of it - from information about the prison, to Cholitas, to the Witches market and today’s politics etc. Thanks for a great tour!

Quick but interesting tour - The tour is relatively short, but full of relevant information. We walked in a rather small area, but that covers important and historic parts of the city. We visit the plaza Murilo, market de las brujas, mercadão (feast of fruit/food trade) and we know the history of the prison of san Pedro. I had already passed virtually all the streets visited, but had no knowledge of the history

Great way to know the city a bit better, highly recommend - Really great tour! Such a great way to learn about the city and it’s people. Our guide Rem was really good and informative and we felt we learned so much. Rem’s good sense of humour was a cherry on top!

It's worth taking this tour. - Denise, our 'red cap' was an excellent tour guide. She was very upbeat, smiley and full of information. Her English was very good and there were no issues understanding her.

Insightful walk through La Paz - A very insightful and interesting experience covering topics like culture, history and politics. Rem was great to tell interesting stories and answer questions. I was also pleased to hear that he was comfortable talking politics to foreigners in public places.
