      Private Cholet Tour

      Sema_M, Apr 2026
      Rolando did a great job with this tour. You got a really good view of the Cholets from the cable car, and then I was driven around to see the Andean architecture, and got to see the inside of some of the Cholets. The pick up and the drop off from the tour was really great.

      Interesting architectural tour of the sister city of La Paz

      Jonathan_W, Mar 2026
      A good look at a huge urban area just outside La Paz. El Alto  has very interesting architecture and a character very different from La Paz wonderful murals by one of Bolivia’s best contemporary artists. The guide was very passionate about this. Interesting experience if you want to go into more depth. There are some crazy buildings in « There are some crazy buildings in « transformer«  style.transformer » and « and «Neo-Andean » style.

      The guide was extremely nice - the English was perfect - I give her a five star but on this tour there is just really not much to see

      El Alto Tour With Excellent Guide, Juan.

      Audrey_L, Feb 2024
      Our guide, Juan, was informative, engaging, personable, and intelligent. Learned alot about El Alto, La Paz, and Bolivia in general. He was open to any and all questions we raised—from politics, customs, history, current events, Personal, etc. He even gave us restaurant recommendations for the area around our hotel.His delivery was excellent due to his teaching experience. We feel very fortunate to have had Juan as our guide.

      Um tour muito cultural

      Regina_J, Sep 2024
      Passei uma tarde muito agradável com a guia Paola que me forneceu muitos esclarecimentos acerca da cultura boliviana.

      Imperdible, para arquitectos

      Alberto_R, Jul 2024
      Un gran recorrido por los cholets, recomendado para quienes les gusta la arquitectura. Juan, el guía, es muy amable y se preocupa de llevarte a distintas partes de El Alto en vehículo. Te busca en el hotel y te lleva de vuelta.
