Do the cable cars yourself.
I did not enjoy the tour as there was so much time slowly walking between stops and the information given on the cable car ride was really limited. No guide needed for the cable car part. Should have booked a historic town walking tour and do the cable car ride on my own. The guide was nice but was not really motivated.

Filled our day perfectly April 2025
Carolina was a wonderful guide. Excellent English. She provided native perspectives and insight, especially in Witches Street. Besides that wonderful explanation, the tour included four legs on the aerial cable car that Lima has been using for the last 15 years for mass transit. Fun ride great view of the city.

This walking tour was a...
This walking tour was a fantastic way to get to know La Paz. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared a lot of interesting context about the city’s history, culture, and daily life. The group size was small, which made it easy to ask questions and stay engaged throughout the tour. The highlight was definitely taking the cable cars up to El Alto — the views over La Paz are incredible and give you a completely different perspective of the city. The visit to El Alto felt authentic and informative, not rushed at all. Overall, it was a well-organized, insightful experience and a great introduction to both La Paz and El Alto. Highly recommended, especially if it’s your first time in the city.

Good tour
Great walking tour. Kelly the guide was friendly and shared good information with us. It was a small group. We went on a Sunday evening, I'd recommend going in the morning tour as a lot of the flea market shops and other street shops were closing in the evening tour. I think the morning tour will be more bustling and active. Finally, this is nothing to do with the guide or the tour company, but one of the other tourists in this tour, just kept talking to the guide random, irrelevant things. This took up a lot of her time as she listened to him politely. I felt that it took away time from important info that she could have shared with us. It was a constant blabber from this other guy, nothing related to the tour or Bolivia, but just about anything in the world. So, if you are reading this review, I hope we can be mindful of using up a guide's time with general talk that is not relevant to the tour!

Great way to get to know La Paz
Carolina provided us with an excellent 3 hour trip with the right balance of walking and talking, good insights in some aspects of Bolivian society and marvellous views from the cable car on La Paz. Fully recommended.

La Paz Walking City tour plus Cable cars: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for La Paz.
How much does La Paz Walking City tour plus Cable cars cost?
+
Prices start at $10 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 Walking City tour plus Cable cars take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours 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 Walking City tour plus Cable cars worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 85 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 261 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 Walking City tour plus Cable cars?
+
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 Walking City tour plus Cable cars suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book La Paz Walking City tour plus Cable cars?
+
Around 91 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does La Paz Walking City tour plus Cable cars 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.
