This was a walking tour with f Asuncion, with a local guide. Our guide Marcelo was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He knows much about local Paraguayan customs and history, and shares his knowledge. It was an extremely hot day but Marcelo kept the tour at an even pace. At the end of the tour Marcelo was extremely helpful in finding us a taxi back to our hotel in the city. I recommend this tour if you want to learn about Paraguayan history and culture

This was a great tour of Asuncíon by local tour guide Javier. Able to see and learn about every important local site. Javier shared lots of valuable insight on many questions, that made the tour special for me. Highly recommend.

Our walking tour with Octavia was fantastic. He was full of information about Asuncion. It is a small but beautiful city

Asuncion is not one of the worlds great cities, but interesting nonetheless. My guide, Octavio, was a charming young guy and bought my visit to life talking about not just the places we visited, but also the historical and political context.

Octavio showed us all the notable local spots. We really liked the railway museum and the Guaraní restaurant he took us too. Very informative and flawless English.

Octavio was an excellent, professional tour guide. He was a true gentleman, highly knowledgeable, and made the experience enjoyable despite my mistake of visiting Asunción on a Sunday when many museums were closed. Luckily, the railroad museum was open, and I thoroughly enjoyed it—thanks to Octavio's guidance. Asunción may be a small city, but it has a rich history and unique culture that are worth exploring. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you're short on time.

First of all, there isn't really much to see in Asuncion. It is a nice city with a long history, and I assume the museums are a good place to go. However, this tour gives you the option as to what time you start. I picked the latest time, 5pm, so I had the day to do other things. The guy shows up and I find out that the museums, which are a big part of the tour, are all closed. He also tells me he doesn't know why they offer the late tours since the best time for the tour is during the morning and early afternoon. So, basically, I took a long walk in the rain and the cold, saw a couple of museums briefly while they were closing...and finally called it quits about halfway through.
I have travelled all over the world and taken tours with many companies and have never experienced a tour operator doing an obvious money grab like this one. The guide himself was nice and helpful, but he is just a cog in the machine.
I blame Viator and the tour company for this debacle.
They even offer you a choice of how many hours you have on the tour. I would assume that they have things to show you that can last up to that long. I booked four hours, but after walking around in the rain and the dark and visiting a couple of museums while they were closing, I quit after two hours. DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR.

It was an amazing tour with Mateo. Very nice guy, friendly, energetic, patient and very knowledgeable. He has traveled to a lot of countries and he knows so much about the history of Asuncion, Paraguay and South America in general. He explained everything in detail and showed me all the important sites and more. We saw a lot for a two hour tour. We also tried some local sweets and a local drink and I went to a great rooftop bar he suggested after with an amazing city view! Well worth it! Thank you!

The tour was really interesting, Estefania became a friend which I had fun with, she immediately made it happen when I asked for something!
Renato_L, Apr 2024
Estefania was an amazing guide! She is knowledgeable, fun, energetic; just who you need to learn about a new city. Would highly recommend this activity to anyone visiting Asuncion!
Charles_G, Mar 2024
It was a really great experience getting to tour the city by foot with somone who knows the history, culture, and society of Paraguay. My tour guide was great (Estafania) and would highly recommend her for others.
Daniel_Y, Nov 2023
Estefania was great in explaining information about the city and the different parts we walked around too in the historic center. She goes above and beyond in order to take you around what you want to see based on your interest. She has vivid memories from certain places from her childhood and will explain to you how much the area has changed.

This was a good tour to quickly learn about the the city of Asunción. Marcelo was my guide and he did a great job of sharing his knowledge of Asunción’s rich history and culture. He also shared great restaurant recommendations as well!
Abhijit_B, Mar 2023
The knowledge of the friendly and nice guide was great. Lovely tour and overall experience. Very nice indeed. A remarkable feeling.
CheeKin_C, Mar 2023
Marcelo was very knowledgeable and shared the background of the various attractions. He is very kind to accommodate a later start time due to a flight delay for me

Great service! I had the 4 hours tour and that was the right; Felix was a great guide and had a good plan to visit all in a very positive matter. Liked very much going to areas away from tourists. His life experience and love to Asuncion makes him to a perfect guide, enjoyed the time with him very much
Zuzana_L, Nov 2022
I had a wonderful time with Felix who was my guide on the day. He took me to some great spots in the city like San Jeronimo and also a big local market or La Chispa home to local artists and an alternative scene. It was exactly what I wanted. To have more authentic experience of the city. It really was like walking around with a friend.
Maya_W, Aug 2022
Félix is an AMAZING tour guide. Super kind, funny, smart, and helpful. I had the time of my life!!!!

Un guide super gentil et intéressant nous ayant fait voir des endroits improbables
A recommander sans modération
Roberio_F, Apr 2023
Contratei um Citytour com veículo panorâmico. Vocês nos mandou um senhor que nunca fez esse tipo de serviço, apenas caminhou pelo centro de Assunção- Paraguai e ainda fui obrigado a pagar o Uber.
Portanto solicito a devolução de ao menos 50% do valor pago.
