Nelson did a great job of explaining the background and purpose of the street paintings and murals as we walked the alleys of the central area. Cultural norms, politics, and a changing Bolivia were all discussed in an open and honest way. Highly recommended.

Kevin is a great guide, he knows a lot about the history and culture of the city and the country and of course about all the Murals. We walked for some time and then took the gondola to get to the central cemetery. The drive there alone was great. We can definitely recommend the tour with Kevin to everyone at La Paz

Really awesome tour. Kevin was a knowledgable and conscientious guide, not only showing us innumerable hidden treasures and beautiful works in La Paz, but also sharing the political history behind the art we saw. I was very appreciative of his consideration for our comfort during the walking tour as well, from finding a bathroom when needed to keeping to shaded routes out of the hot sun and even offering his own hat! I learned and saw a lot and would recommend without hesitation!
Dear Amy, thank you very much for your kind words! The tour with you and Lindy was great, I had a lot of fun with you both. As you mentioned, these tours aim to create consciousness among us. You’re always welcome to Bolivia.
A most enjoyable, interesting and informative walk around the artistic area of La Paz. We saw the most wonderful examples of street art that would be difficult to find without a guide. The cable car ride offered impressive views of La Paz and El Alto. Kevin also showed us some hidden parts of the city, like parks and breathtaking viewpoints as well as the city cemetery. Kevin is a very knowledgeable guide and told us lots about the history and culture of La Paz and Bolivia whilst also patiently giving us plentiful time to explore each location and take pictures and answering all our questions. We had a great day with Kevin!
