My wife and I had a great time on this tour with our guide Jose. First, we got to use the public transit cable cars (Mi Teleférico) to get an amazing view of La Paz from above. We learned about the local culture and customs in El Alto and, of course, the cholets! The architecture is so unique and interesting and Jose was even able to take us inside one of the event spaces, which was amazing. Highly recommend this tour, particularly with Jose.

Amara (I believe that is her name) knows the area well and taught my friend and I alot about the El Alto cholets. It was also neat to experience the shared taxis and the purple cable car system.

I can highly recommend doing the Cholets tour with Red Cap. Our guide, Rem, was knowledgeable and had a good sense of humour. The tour takes you through parts of El Alto that might not be so easy to visit on your own.

With Matt from Red Cap we spent a great morning in El Alto. He told us a lot about the background of the city and the Cholets. Suddenly you see the city from a completely different perspective! We were even able to visit one of the cholets from the inside and learn a lot about the local festive and marriage culture. This was a very nice tour, interesting, entertaining and individual
