City Tour of La Paz, Bolivia

I went on a city tour of La Paz known as the Southern Circuit "B" tour on a Double Decker Bus. The city tour went through the southern(wealthy) neighborhoods to the Valley of the Moon and it was great! The tour costs 50Bs(US$7) and takes about 1.5 hours with a 20 minute guided walk in the amazing Valley of the Moon(an extra 15Bs for the park entry fee).

The tour bus is open on the top with about 10 seats covered in case of rain(it rained a couple of times for about 20 minutes the day before). Each seat has an audio tour plug with earphones provided as you board the bus or you can use your own. The audio tour is in 7 languages.

There is also a downtown City Tour "A" Circuit which I haven't taken yet. At the southern end of the Plaza Isabel Catolica there is a bus stop with tour info posted.

The southern circuit "B" leaves daily at 10:30 and 13:30 while the downtown tour circuit "A" leaves from the same bus stop(same bus) at 9:00 and 15:00.
I recommend it and don't forget to tip the guide/driver.
