Ideal short tour - A perfect tour of La Paz which blended cultural and geographical aspects. The view from the Telefonica from El Alto down to La Paz really is something to behold. Stunning! And my guide, Juan, was great.

Great all-around city tour - The Valley of the Moon is worth the value by itself, but it is an even bigger plus getting to try salteñas, taking in some stunning views of the city, and completing a three-line teleferrico circuit before walking through the markets. I would totally recommend as your introduction to the city!

He also took us to a local restaurant to enjoy some local food. Very knowledgeable and accommodating. The driver is very nice as well and since it's a private tour, we had the entire car to the two of us. Highly recommend!</p>

Loved the Moon Valley tour, beautiful landscape, my tour guide was also a musician and he played the charango for me at one of the charango stores by the Witches Alley. Definitely recommend this tour as an introduction to La Paz.</p>

Moon valley and cable cars are the major attraction here and they try to sell it in every way possible - great marketing with some quality and ideal tour schedule. The museum and witches market were also great! I must admit the guide did a more better job than the sites here!</p>

It was great riding on the yellow and green gondolas - really get a birds eye view of the city which seems to go on forever. The ride out to Moon Valley gave us a completely different perspective of La Paz - and how the other half live!</p>

Moon Valley was interesting and worth a visit. Few tourists that day. City tour/Witches' Market was informative. A great afternoon tour!</p>
