I used red cap on my 46th country and they are probably hands down the best walking tour company I have ever experienced!! My guides Remberto and Denise were super knowledgeable and had so many interesting facts to share about the Bolivian culture. If you are in Bolivia, all of the red cap tours can’t be missed!!!

Amazing city tour! Definitely a must! I did the "free" (they can't legally do free, but it's super cheap/basically free) walking tour of La Paz. My guide, Christian was very knowledgeable and friendly. He did an amazing job of introducing me to La Paz and it's history and culture. Got to see and learn about all the main sites of the city and he explained each one with stories as well and answered all my questions. Additionally, I felt very safe as they took all the necessary covid precautions. If you are in the city, definitely take this tour! I wish I had time to do some more of their tours...
