Local cultural experience - Highly recommend this tour! I had a lovely and informative afternoon with a local Bolivian woman which always makes any tour worthwhile! Learned so much about the culture and made it to parts of La Paz and El Alto that I wouldn’t have otherwise seen.

Excellent tour of El Alto Cholets and Wall Murals - The tour of El Alto building murals and cholets with Paola was incredible. The buildings and art were incredibly unique and she had a very deep knowledge of all things cholets, art, and Bolivia in general. I had a great time!

A must see! - I combined a private tour of La Paz with this tour and it ended up being a truly magical day. Juan and Wonder tours were really responsive and went out of their way to ensure that I had a great experience. My guide Daylis was absolutely wonderful! In all of my travels, she was the best guide I have ever had and really made the experience! If you do this tour, I would ask for her! Having the opportunity to see El Alto, the Cholets and the unique sights of the city is something that should not be missed!

Worth it if you have time - We had lovely guide Roxana with us who took us by cable car to El Alto after that we went by taxi to the various cholets . We went inside a 5 star one which was quite amazing …levels after levels of grandeur with stunning views at the very top. We learnt of the city’s culture of hiring these edifices for functions and parties. Over all a nice trip and learnt about Bolivian culture . Would recommend this trip if you have 4/5 hours to spare in La Paz. Thanks Juan for organising everything .

El Alto Tour With Excellent Guide, Juan. - 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.

Too much effort, with too little input. - Very long trips with detours. Only 3 sightseeing points. Guide made an effort. However, unfortunately, he had too little knowledge and could not answer the questions.
