    A real highlight of my trip

    This tour was absolutely fantastic and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting la paz. My flight into la paz was delayed but we stayed in contact and they arranged a modified tour with the available time. You see all the highlights of the incredibly beautiful city of la paz and learn so much about the history and cultural practices. Having a guide to explain the architecture or the significance of certain things really enhanced my experience of the city!

    Amazing La Paz with Customized Tour!

    Amazing tour, make it very privste along with your schedule. Arriving at 4am. This tour company created a pick up there to fill a full day tour to show the best of La Paz Dropped me off at my hotel right st check in time. I am a female solo traveler, first time in South America. This agency has contacted me even prior to the arrival to make me feel very comfortable about everything i need to know to enter Bolivia! I felt very safe and very comfortable . I also had so much fun in la paz. Clean air-conditioned vehicle, nicest and knowledgeable guide snd dependable driver. I would recommend 100% this company. I was so lucky to choose this tour!! They even offer to customize other needs such as soccer games and playing golf at unique Moon Valley and romantic dinner and show . You can do so much more than you think in ls Paz :)

    Covered La Paz in 4 hours

    Edson was excellent, he very efficiently covered the main districts of La Paz and El Alto on the Telferico. Included tickets and even an authentic local snack. He is very knowledgeable about the city and country. Excellent English speaker with native proficiency which helped greatly.

    Amazing tour. Great way to see La Paz when you only have limited time.

    Guide Edson was superb. He spoke very good English and communicated really well pre-tour, which was appreciated very much as our arrival into La Paz was delayed by more than 4 hours. We were able to stay in touch and he was able to accommodate our time change. We learnt a lot about Bolivia, and La Paz especially; covered a lot of ground and sights, and now have a greater understanding and appreciation of the beautiful city La Paz is. Moon Valley was worth seeing as were the city sights. Being in a vehicle and cable cars helped with our adjustment to the altitude. I fully endorse Edson as a guide and this tour as great value. Do it!!!! 😀

    La Paz: Customizable Private City Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for La Paz.

    How much does La Paz: Customizable Private City Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $55 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in La Paz usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does La Paz: Customizable Private City Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in La Paz is not rushed.

    Is La Paz: Customizable Private City Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 87 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in La Paz, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule La Paz: Customizable Private City Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is La Paz: Customizable Private City Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book La Paz: Customizable Private City Tour?

    +

    Around 30 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in La Paz can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in La Paz and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does La Paz: Customizable Private City Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central La Paz within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in La Paz?

    +

    On Outty we rank every La Paz experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The World's Most Dangerous Road - Barracuda Biking's Death Road Riding, Death Road Biking Tour, Death Road, Bolivia: Mountain Bike Tour on the World's Most Dangerous Road. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit La Paz?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in La Paz?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in La Paz: Customizable Private City Tour?

    +

    Included: Snacks; Cable car fare; and Transportation - public. Not included: Luggage storage; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does La Paz: Customizable Private City Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    What languages is La Paz: Customizable Private City Tour offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    +

    Is La Paz: Customizable Private City Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; and Only the cable car circuit is wheelchair accessible. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to La Paz: Customizable Private City Tour if the weather is bad?
