Christian took me all around downtown La Paz and showed me all the main sights and explained their history. Thanks Christian.”

3.Cable Car Ride Tour with Food Tasting

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 5 reviews · 4 hours · from $88

Your Spanish-speaking guide handles the route and explains daily life, customs, buildings, Illimani Hill, Andean plants, and local clothing. Hotel pickup and drop-off are listed, but taxi costs to Moon Valley may be extra.

“The tour company forgot about us so I had to contact them and they gave us a new pickup time. You have to pay for all transportations yourself, the only thing included is the guide and ONE snack. We expected a food tour, which it was not.”
