La Paz in 2.5 hours - Charlie gets an honourable mention as he was a great guide during the walking tour. We had it bilingual - French and English. He is super knowledgeable about La Paz and as a special treat, I got to try a local fruit : Chirimoya, bought at the market.

Super La Paz - Charlie was an incredible guide. He told me a lot about the history of La Paz and the local culture. It was by far the most interesting city tour I have done in all of South America. Highly recommended!

Amazing tour with the best tour guide - Charlie - Honestly was amazing. 10/10 would recommend. I was very lucky and no one had signed up so it was just me and the guide - Charlie. Charlie was unreal, he showed me his favourite empanada place when I said I was hungry and hungover, told me all these amazing stories and history while still keeping it interesting and engaging. Charlie definitely made the tour so ask for him if possible but still the walking tour really explains the amazing history of La Paz that you wouldn’t get if you didn’t search for it.
