Bernies is an OG guide - Bernie was fantabulous and gave us so many insights into Bolivias culture, beliefs and traditions. He explained the impact of the current political situation and how it is shaping the country

Berni gave the best tour ever - Berni took me and my friends to both the football and the city tour. We had the most amazing time as Berni was informative, friendly, and entertaining. Couldn’t recommend his tour enough, what a man!

Ótimo Tour com Charlie - I did the Walking Tour with Charlie and it was amazing! He showed us the main points of the city, explaining about politics, history and culture - including the most macabre details of Bolivian culture. She speaks very well Portuguese, English and Spanish, for what I saw. I highly recommend!

Best walking tour! - Joanna was an incredible tour guide! Really passionate, knowledgeable and fun! We were a group of about 10, all from different places and Jo made us feel like a cohesive group with her humour and good nature. Joanna answered all of our questions, and those she didn't know (not often but we chucked some rogue ones at her!) were talked through and discussed. We went to the Witches Market, where Joanna sensitively described traditional practises, went on the cable Cars, learnt about the city centre prison, and political history of La Paz and Bolivia. I highly recommend this tour and Joanna!

The only tour you need in La Paz! - We had an amazing day out with Bernie- if you do one tour in La Paz this is the perfect one. We got a mix of history, fun facts and look into life as a paceno. Then we got to ride the cable cars and see the beautiful city from above. Finally a cholitas wrestling match. It was a great day out and Bernie was so kind, fun and informative. 10/10 recommend

Tour with the perfect amount of information! - Joana was an amazing guide! She gave the perfect amount of information for each location, not too much but enough for you to understand and not get bored. Our group had a lot of fun and we got to try juices from local fruits!
