Great little tour of La Paz centre

Sarah_H, Jan 2026

The company didn’t tell me it would start at 3pm instead of 2pm, however the guide Charlie was great and very knowledgeable on all things political, historical, etc, and made the tour very enjoyable. I was the only person on it so we could chat more in-depth about the culture, history. Just remember to bring some cash for tipping!

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback dear Sarah . We’re sorry for the confusion regarding the start time and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We’re very glad to hear that Charlie made the tour enjoyable and that you appreciated his knowledge and the opportunity for deeper conversation about the culture and history. Thank you as well for the helpful tip for future guests. We hope to welcome you again soon! Stay Connected! Follow Us!

First day tour in La Paz

Jennifer_C, Sep 2025

This tour was the perfect first day activity in La Paz to get oriented. Sarah was our guide and she spoke English very well (I mention this as she has only been doing the tour a few months and asked us for feedback on her English). She shared good information (right amount and not too much) on the history, culture, and beliefs. As it was our first day in La Paz, we were still adjusting to the altitude and Sarah was very patient and paced the tour at a nice and slow level for us. She took great photos of us at various stops. Would highly recommend booking this tour.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We're delighted to hear that Sarah provided you with a welcoming and informative introduction to La Paz on your first day. It’s great to know she balanced sharing history, culture, and local beliefs perfectly, and paced the tour to suit your needs while adjusting to the altitude. We’ll be sure to pass on your kind words to Sarah—she’ll really appreciate your encouragement as she continues to improve her English and guide skills. Thanks for recommending our tour! We hope to welcome you back for more adventures in Bolivia soon. FB: Altitude Travel Twitter: @Altitude_DMC Instagram: @altitudetravelbolivia Best wishes, CEO ALTITUDE

An Excellent Walking Experience

Cesar_L, Jul 2025

Charlie was our guide for the walking tour. He was polite, engaging, observant, and above all very knowledgeable. We had a comprehensive overview of La Paz in about 3 hours that left us wanting to learn more. Charlie was passionate about the indigenous culture and traditions and took the time to explain many of the rituals and practices during our walk through the Witches Market.

Response from Host, Jul 2025
