City Tour & Beaches from La Paz

We were picked up at our hotel right on time in a very comfortable van with AC. Our tour guide Jonathan was outstanding! The way he could switch from Spanish to English was incredible. Jonathan was very knowledgable about La Paz history. First we went to their beatiful Cathedral where Jonathan spoke about the history of the mission in La Paz which was very interesting. Then we moved on to the Museum of Anthropology and History. It was such a beautifully done museum, we could have spent all day there. Again, Jonathan was filled with facts and interesting stories. The itinerary listed a trip to an artisan area, but I think we stayed so long at the museum that there wasn't time. We needed to get to Balandra Bay in time to be allowed in the second round for the day. The Bay is protected and only 450 people are allowed in twice a day. The drive to the bay was beautiful and Jonathan gave us interesting facts along the way. When we got to Balandra we were instructed to not take ANYTHING from the beach - not shells, rocks or even sand. The bay was so pristine and peaceful. Pictures do not do it justice. It was very low tide when we got there so it was an easy walk in knee deep water to hike to the famous "mushroom rock". The water was as clear as seeing through a glass window and was relatively warm for February. We stayed there for 2 hours, just the right amount of time to explore and take in the incredible scenery. Our last stop was at Tecolote Beach where we had a delicious lunch which was included in the price. This tour was very well put together and we had a great time. Thank you Jonathan for being such a great, knowlegeable and friendly guide. And thank you Ricardo for being such a good, safe driver! Highly recommend this tour and tour company. Well worth the amount we paid.

Our guide Jonathon and our driver Ricardo were both incredible. We were very lucky to have such a small group. Our guide spoke perfect English and was incredibly knowledgable.

What a lovely day and way to explore LaPaz and its downtown and beautiful beaches! Jonathan is wonderful -- he's a well-informed and personable guide who added lots of relevant detail to the tour. Raul is a great driver! We had an amazing day exploring and learning about LaPaz and the original inhabitants and culture. Balandra Beach did not disappoint! Gorgeous space for all senses! The day finished up with a delicious meal of shrimp tacos at an Oceanside restaurant.

Huge disappointment. They don’t understand that the main reason why people book this tour is to go to Balandra beach.

Poorly planned so by the time we go to Balandra beach, it was too late and we couldn’t go in. They skipped another one of the attractions listed in the tour description but the big disappointment was definitely the fact that they got to Balandra too late and we couldn’t get in.

They don’t plan the tour well so by the time we got to Balandra beach, it was too late. We couldn’t go in. I guess they don’t understand that the main reason why people would book the tour is to go to the Balandra beach. They skipped two of the attractions listed in the tour description and we only saw the malecon from the van, no opportunity for pictures there. Big disappointment.

Excellent guide. English and Spanish. Very knowledgeable and attentive to everyone’s needs. Would recommend to all.🌺

The guide shared the history of the city and state. The museum was really cool as well as the downtown tour. The cherry on top was Playa Balandra. As for the lunch meal... It was one of the best shrimp tacos I've ever eaten.

Balandra beach and food in tecolote he explained the sites we went too and not having rent a car to do it ourselves

We had an amazing time! Our tour guides Jonathan and Ricardo were great, knowledgeable and friendly. We definitely will do this tour again someday!

We very much enjoyed our tour with Choya Tours. We visited the Malecon and the Anthropology Museum. Had a great time at Balandra beach and finished with lunch and a beautiful view. Thank you

Beautiful beach and generous lunch
It is enjoyable trip with the knowledge able guide.
We should have swimming suit! So we could walk around the water.

Balandra is definitely a one of kind place/beach to visit. The tour company/guides were knowledgeable and attentive. I highly recommend this tour company.

Great tour yesterday with guide Jonathan and driver Ricardo. Both were outstanding, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful in every way. The museum tour was a highlight, must do if you are in La Paz. And Playa Balandra was everything we hoped for and more. The lunch at Tecolote was a tasty end of our day!

This tour was way more than expected! First off I made reservation on Tuesday for Thursday. I was immediately contacted by Chita tours that Thursday would not be available. It was suggested that they did have availability Tuesday (as in 20 min) and if I was willing they would come pick me up. 20 minutes later, I found myself on a tour bus with what would be new friends. Misael pulled up right to my door and I was greeted by Jonathan and Raul. They were very informative. We went to a museum and then Balandra Beach for 3 hours of fun in the sun. Lastly we were picked up and taken to Tecolote beach for lunch! The ceviche was out of this world!! Best day ever!! Muchas Gracias Choya Tours!!!

Good overall tour of La Paz and surrounding beaches. Spent sufficient amount of time at each beach and enjoyed a great meal at Tecolote beach. Our guide, Hector, and driver did a great job!

It was a wonderful experience and well worth it. Great guide (Hector) provided great insight into the geography, history and culture of La Paz and Baja. I enjoyed visiting the museum of Anthropology and was impressed by the quality of the exhibit’s & explanations.
The beach visit was spectacular. It was a great time and I highly recommend this tour.

Tour didn’t deliver as noted in the listing. If you’re booking because you’re expecting to go to Balandra Beach it isn’t guaranteed. Most people on our tour believed by booking through a company gave special rights to the beach however that wasn’t the case. The bus had to wait in the same line of traffic as everyone else and then we were turned away. We went to another beach that we had already coated on our own previously. Don’t waste your money on this tour.
