Experiencing city tour and cable car at one time!

Interesting and very useful tour, Daniel is a knowledgeable guide. Learned a lot about the histories of La Paz and the interaction between local people.

Excellent walking tour! Highly recommend

Daniel’s walking tour was outstanding! His English was excellent, and his knowledge of La Paz and its history was incredible. You could really tell how passionate he is about his job, which made the tour so interesting and enjoyable. In just three hours, we got to see so much of La Paz and learn so much about its fascinating history and culture. A real bonus was that Daniel went above and beyond to help us with other experiences during our stay and even showed us some fantastic local food along the way. He was incredibly helpful, friendly and genuinely wanted us to get the most out of our time in La Paz. I would highly recommend Daniel’s tour to anyone visiting La Paz!

Incredible tour

If you're looking for a really fun, informative tour of La Paz, this is the one to do. Daniel was such a great guide and really gave a complete look at the city, its history and the people. Highly recommend.

The must go tour in La Paz

We came to Bolivia knowing only that the country is named after some Venesualian guy. Then we met Daniel. Life gave us a gift - it turned out to be a private tour. Daniel has a recipe for a perfect city tour - well thought through stops, passion for being a guide, wide knowledge and wonderful sense of humor! We learnt so much about Bolivia and La Paz, and honestly fell in love with it’s all parts, the good, the bad, and the creepy. Cannot recommend more!
