Additional Information
La Paz is a city unlike any other on earth. Its staggering height (3,600m/11,800ft) is only surpassed by its incredible beauty. Sprawling over a gorgeous valley and surrounded by massive mountains, one’s first sight of La Paz is unforgettable, but its lasting mark on those who visit, is the life it holds within the valley walls. Our city tour will bring this complex, busy, and incredibly interesting city to life! The people, history, and customs that make up La Paz are truly fascinating and give an insight into the life that makes up one of the world’s most vibrant cities. A visit to La Paz is hardly complete without walking her narrow alleys, meeting her people, and getting to know the past that makes her what she now is.

Fun, detailed tour of La Paz - Highly recommend the city walking tour with Max and Red Cap! We learnt so much about not only La Paz's history, but about local indigenous culture and traditions as well. Our guide Max went into incredible detail at each stop of the tour around the city, blending in history lessons with personal knowledge, anecdotes, and jokes to keep us entertained along the way. Our tour lasted 3 hours, and we also got plenty of recommendations about the city to take away, so it was fantastic value.

Denise is the best tour guide intro to the city - Joining Denise’s tour on our first day in the city was a great choice as she was the perfect introduction to our trip here. She gave such an informative and friendly guide to the city, including a detailed view of the culture and history, and top tips on what to visit as both a visitor and local. Left the tour with a lot of new knowledge and know-how. Thanks Denise!!!

A great way to get your bearings in La Paz - Really amazing walking tour with Max- and excellent local guide who told us so much about La Paz, the indigenous heritage of the area, and the political history- he knows it all! He also paced it well for those of us having issues with altitude and gave us a bathroom break (unheard of on a walking tour but very appreciated!)
Can't recommend this enough- gives you a great overview of the centre of the city.
