Had the best tour with Daniel he was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging and kept us entertained with lots of stories and facts about the Bolivian and La Paz culture. Can't recommend this tour enough, it's a great way to get to know the city and Daniel was incredibly enthusiastic and you could feel how much he loves his city and it was very infectious.

I took the walking tour on my first day in La Paz and had a great time with Denise! She was full of really interesting knowledge about a wide variety of topics. Denise was also very humorous and kept the energy up, despite our group being a little subdued. Best walking tour so far on my trip - thanks Denise!

Denise was a great guide. She gave us so much information. The time flew by and we learnt so much about La Paz. I would definitely recommend this tour but I would go direct to the red cap website to book next time.

Our tour guide Daniel was great! He’s funny and easy to understand. A lot of insights that you wouldn’t know if you are just sightseeing here on your own. Highly recommend!

This was a really great tour to have on our first day in La Paz. We got an idea of the history, people, food and culture and covered many places that we'd wanted to go to anyway but with so much more information included. Our guide Rem was brilliant too, really friendly and informative and answered all our questions easily. The explanation of everything in the witches market is definitely something you can't find if you do it by yourself. Would thoroughly recommend.

Really enjoyed the City Tour in La Paz with Red Cap. The meeting site was quite busy, but once we met Daniel, it was clear that he was highly motivated and very energetic. He explained a lot about the history of La Paz and several interesting traditions and historical facts. Also, he was easy to listen to because he spoke fluent English and very enthusiastically. I'd really recommand this tour to anyone who wants to get to know the city centre of La Paz.

I ended up signing up for 2 tours after I finished this one because I enjoyed my experience with Denise so much - so clearly, i highly recommend this tour :) I did this one, the extended city tour that took me all the way up to El Altos & the food tour to finish the day off. Denise gave us a LOT of history on the place, which is always so fascinating when you're visiting a city for the first time. She patiently answered any questions the group had, no matter how large/small the group was. And also gave us great recommendations for places to go to/restaurants to visit even after the tours. It was a delight for me to be able to sample some street food with someone that knew where to go to for the best of everything! Thank you, Denise :)
