Super informative and interesting! - We really liked the tour, we learned a lot not only about the architecture but also about the worldview of the Aymaras. Denise made the tour a very pleasant and interesting time. Super recommended for anyone visiting Bolivia.

Great experience - It was very interesting to learn about the Cholets, the architecture and traditions and beliefs of the indigenous. Experiencing the public transport was great and I am glad I got to see El Alto with a guide. Rembert was a great guide! The tour took place even though I was only 1 participant.

Very cool - I love how authentic el alto is so really wanted to do a tour there. Max was our guide and he was sooo great. It was so cool seeing local places, taking the cable car, and bus and seeing the cholets. Max was super knowledgeable and friendly and we loved our tour with him. Highly recommend if you want to see an interesting area.

A not to miss Cholet tour - What a great trip! Every part of it, riding the cable cars, seeing the cholets; and observing El Alto, and its vast Sunday market from cable car were amazing. Our guide Chris gave a very good cultural explanation of El Alto. He made the tour informative and fun. His fluency in English was a great help. Highly recommend the tour.
