Two hours well spent - Take 10 bolivianos in cash for the cable car ticket, plus tip for the guide. The meeting point is in Prado (in front of the main gate of San Francisco). There is jarring information in Viator that if guided in the direction will end up next to San Francisco, not in front. Outside of this, it is an excellent entrance tour to get to know the interesting points of La Paz and besides not getting lost in the cable cars.

La Paz city tour. Insights in we had - We had a great tour with a great guide: Marcia took us to different spots in the city and to el Alto, riding the cable car. During the the trip and at the witch marquet, we got insights in the Bolivian culture and in the recent history. We had great conversations and really enjoyed the tour and presence of Marcia. The tour is great for everybody who wants to get an introduction to La Paz and to Bolivian culture and enjoys a good and interesting company.

Exploring La Paz on foot and by cable car - Luis was an excellent guide and gave us lots of insights into Bolivia’s history, culture and politics. It was not easy to climb some of the uphill streets but that’s the nature of La Paz.

Tour through colorful and frenetic La Paz - It was an interesting and practical tour to quickly get to know the city center. Interesting route through the many lines of the zip line. To dwell a little more on some moments of the visit would have been perfect.
