Fantastic private tour in La Paz - Where to begin. Private tour is the only way to experience this tour. We were very lucky to have Sergio as our guide. He is the head guy for the tour company. We began with hotel pick at 6:00 am. Early so we could see the sunrise from the Valle de las Animas. Be prepared for the high altitude hike. Keep hydrated and if possible begin with coco tea and lozenges several days before your trip. The view is stunning, the rock formations are amazing. It took us several hours to hike to the top reaching 12,500 When we began the hike the temperature was 34 degree. Be prepared to dress warm. After leaving we then proceed to Moon Valley. Once again Sergio was a wealth of knowledge as to how this area was named. I’m not going to tell you so you can be as surprised as my husband I were. After leaving Moon Valley we went to the best viewpoint in the city Mirador Killi Killi. After returning to LaPaz we visited The Witches Market. Very interesting. We then went to a local restaurant for lunch( cost is not included with the tour) so worth it La Rufinia, huge portions, 3 people $45.00. After lunch we walked to the square to see church of San Francisco and other historical points. A short taxi ride to the Cable Cars. There are 10 lines. Depending on where you want to go in the city. People use them as public transportation. We stay on to the end as our hotel was only a few blocks away. This was a perfect ending to our day. This tour will not disappoint you.

A great private tour - highly recommended - Jorge was a great guide. He was informative and gave us the flexibility to spend more our less time at each place. He helped us with purchases in the market, money exchange advice and arranging a transfer to the airport. We really enjoyed the sites and the food!

Unexpected closure led to great alternative! - Did not know it was a private tour when I booked, but sooo worth it. The guide was amazing, fab discussions, and when the Moon Valley park was closed, he offered to pick me up in the afternoon for a sunset viewing on top of Devils Mountain! Also, Animas valley was a highlight for me! BETTER than Copacabana and Isle del Sol. Thanks!!

Five star tour! - Andres was an AMAZING guide! He first asked me some of my interests before we left to make sure he catered the tour to me. I learned so much from him, and he was a great photographer for me as a solo traveler. Lunch was also at a fantastic place where each plate was a work of art. I can’t recommend this tour enough!!!

Fantastic Trip with Guide Andres - Fantastic experience that started in Valle de las Animas before sunrise. Andres is an excellent guide who takes you up to a great vantage point to view the sunrise and the valley. From there, it’s off to Moon Valley for a 30-45 min hike through what looks like the moon. If you’re lucky like we were, you’ll see a viscacha! After this hike, you see the town of La Paz, the overlook, you can take the cable car, and walk down Witches Alley. It was all great!

Gabriel- best tour guide - Gabriel was the best tour guide we could ask for We picked a private full day tour around La Paz. Gabriel was very knowledgeable and helpful. He is very passionate about history and facts about anything we asked. He really took time to explain every place we visited . Super cool to spend day with someone local who really enjoys the city and has such passion for his country. Gabriel is fluent in English and Spanish. He was very helpful when I wanted to buy some stuff from locals or exchange money. He was able to get us in to the best restaurant in the city. Took endless pictures. Even when we drove or took the cable he was giving us more descriptions of what we were seeing and were heading to. Gabriel was very kind and took us back to the hotel. Thank you Gabriel for making our experience in Bolivia the best it could be. If you are heading to La Paz even for a day, I highly recommend you book Gabriel as your tour guide!

Amazing tour of La Paz! - Thank you Gabriel for a great day! Was initially a bit unsure about the early start, but seeing Valle de las Animas at dawn is breathtaking. Gabriel was happy to answer all our questions and is obviously passionate about his city. Will definitely be recommending this trip!
