Based on the great TA reviews we sought out La Paz on foot for a walking tour of the city. The only downside to the decision turned out to be that their office is almost impossible to find and the contactinformation on the website doesn't help. Weird for a company that furthermore offers absolutely excellent services! Luckily we phoned Milenka, the travelmanager, and from there on everything went smoothly. She told us the company had just moved and greeted us warmly in de lobby of their builing (7th floor of the California building om the intersection of Aspiazu and Ecuador). We decided to go for the Urban trek through the city of La Place. It doesn't visit the usual highlights of the city (easily done on ones own), but literally gives a different view of the city. Costs $25 each, but is totally worth it. Our guide the next day was Theresa. We were impressed by the sheer knowlegde she had of the history and current situation in the city. We went up to El Alto by the amazing cable cars, walked to a little museum, ate typical snacks before returning down by some steep steps. Then onto the famous markets. The tour lasted about 3,5 hours and was an absolutely great experience. Take the time to find their office, or let's hope they'll improve their contactinfo and you're in for a treat.

We booked a tour to the Valley of The Moon and Mt Chacaltaya out of LaPaz. We were there in November, 2019 during the post election protests. We met our guide, Patti, at a rendezvous point near the Prada. The pick up was about 30 minutes late. The part of the tour to the Valley of the Moon was canceled due to protestors blocking the road. We received no refund. We did drive to Mt Chacaltaya and scrambled to the top. Although the walk is not steep and the path pretty good, be prepared for a tough climb given the altitude of about 17,000 feet. You will need to take numerous stops and the climb will take longer than you expect. The views of the surrounding Andes Mountains was spectacular. Well worth the effort. Overall the trip was fine, but make sure you know what you are getting yourself into. Also, we were somewhat disappointed by the reluctance of our guide to stop and allow us to take pictures at various places on the trip. If you choose to take this trip, be sure to inquire carefully about the logistics.
