Free tours a Potosí

One of the most unique walking tours I’ve been on! Very informative and interesting sites. The saltenas stop was an extra special treat!

Great way to learn about Potosi history and food culture

It was one of the most unique walking tours we have done. Julio is really engaged and takes you to places, like the office of the president of the Potosí departament to show you the historical paintings, gets you talk to policemen and cute old ladies on the market who speak only Quechua. We felt invited to ask as many questions as we wanted and we learned a lot about the history of Potosí, the mine, the colonial architecture and the social situation of Bolivia at the moment. Julio was really entertaining, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. He does not speak perfect English but makes a lot of effort for you to understand, and it’s really nice. We can highly recommend this tour.

Julio es un guía único. Nos informó de la historia de Potosí con todo lujo de detalles y creatividad. Fue muy divertido! Supo adaptar el tour cuando empezó a llover para que siguiéramos disfrutando, y conocimos mucho sobre su propia historia. Personal, informativo, divertido y especial. No lo olvidaremos! Gracias Julio, un placer y te deseamos mucha suerte en todo.

Very good English and super informative tour about the traditions of Bolivia! Thank you, Miriam!

We did not use Julio We had Miriam. She was great.

Great tour with Julio

Sensationell! Julio war unser Guide. Mit seiner unterhaltsamen und humorvollen Art hat er uns in kürzester Zeit die wichtigsten Informationen über Potosí vermitteln können. Mit ihm in den Straßen der Stadt unterwegs zu sein, bedeutet, sich wie ein Einheimischer zu fühlen. Überall wird er gegrüßt und hat uns stets mit seinen Freunden bekannt gemacht. Das war ein fantastischer Walk! Sechs Sterne!

We loved our tour with Julio! It was very informative and he went above and beyond to make the experience memorable. He not only showed us the historic colonial-era sites of Potosi, but also gave us an insight into the best local spots- not withstanding a mid-tour visit to an incredible viewpoint from which we ate Potosi’s best saltenas whilst looking up at the Cerro Rico mountain and its silver mines. We also learnt a few Quechua words! We highly recommend this walking tour to anybody who wants to get a real feel for this incredible city and its people.

Miriam did a really unique tour and showed us "her" Potosi

Julio was super friendly and fun to listen to. He made Bolivia’s culture and history very accessible to us and gave good recommendations

El guia es muy dedicado y se empeña mucho en dar un imagen completo de la historia y de la vida actual en la cuidad. También tiene un estilo comunicativo muy bueno: Hablo con la gente en la calle/en el mercado (p.e "cebritas", curaca de un pueblo en la region) para facilitar comunicación directa y entrar en temas mas profundamente (p.e. trafico en Bolivia, participación politica/administracion publica en los pueblos de la region). Yo recomendaría este tour a cualquier turista que viene a Potosí.

Excellent tour. Julio was very engaging and we visited many places that I otherwise wouldn’t have known about.

A fabulous social tour of Potosi with Julio, our energetic, enthusiastic guide. He was great fun and imparted a lot of cultural, historical and culinary information. We visited places we would not have done on our own, we met locals, learnt some Quechua and Aymara words, visited a school, inspected their artwork and posed for selfies with them. A thoroughly enjoyable tour, thank you Julio. Would recommend anyone to do this tour

Fantastic tour with Julio. He was on time, very enthusiastic and knowledagble. He knows a lot of local people who we were able to interact with (including the mayor!). We were able to try food and drink along the way and saw lots of interesting sites. Best tour I've had in Bolivia.

Excelente tour. Tanto la forma como el contenido del tour son excepcionales. Joaquín tiene una forma fresca y agradable de transmitir la información de su ciudad. 100% recomendado!!!

Joaquin is very knowledgeable and passionate about Potosi. He explained to me a lot about the local culture, and brought me to a very local market where you can find all sorts of amulets and curious objects used in local traditions. We also did a more conventional route, visiting churches and local historical buildings. I definitely recommend his tour!

Miriam took us to some very interesting parts of Pototsi, and tailored the tour to take into account the celebrations taking place (All Saints Day). She explained a lot about the customs of different religions.

Miriam hat uns kompetent in der Stadt herumgeführt und als Highlight sogar an ein Fest anlässlich Todos Santos mitgenommen - das war sehr spannend!

I would like to highlight that the tour was special Because Julio was introducing us to people around! I have never met this on a tours before! We spoken to police man, to school children about their studies, to ladies in the market etc etc This was exceptional! Also Julio took us to the places that you’d never enter alone example the political place where they decide on different initiatives. He also explained the history and traditions of the place and could answer all the questions that I had (and I had a lot for real). We also tried local sweets. I recommend the tour either way as it was really special experience..

Julio was a great guide. It was Sunday so many places were closed, but he improvised and we got to visit a local school and talk to the kids and attend a super cool street party, played table football and ate local foods. Julio is knowledgeable and funny, I also appreciated that he mixed English with Spanish for me to practice.

Un guía encantador, nos explico las cosas muy bien, repetiría sin duda con el otro tour

Nos encantó el walking tour con Julio, su energía al contar la historia y la manera en que se acerca a la comunidad y genera conversaciones honestas y de la vida real es increíble. Escoge este tour si además de aprender de historia quieres conocer cómo viven los Potosinos hoy en día.

Joaquin macht die Touren mit Leidenschaft. Da ich der einzige auf der Tour war, konnte ich ich zu jeder Zeit nachfragen wenn ich etwas nicht verstanden habe oder ich Sonstige Frage hatte. Als er erfahren hat das ich noch keine Saltenias probiert habe, führte er mich zu einer der besten Saltenieria der Stadt um sie dort zu probieren. Ich würde die Tour definitiv weiterempfehlen

Sehr spannende Führung mit vielen Details zur Geschichte und Kultur von Potosí. Besondere Highlights waren die Snacks vom Markt und die Gespräche mit Einheimischen. Muchas gracias! :)
