If you're looking for something beyond the typical city tour, this is an absolute must-do in La Paz! Even though there were only two of us, Daniel delivered the entire "Extreme Stories (La Paz – El Alto) Storytelling & Cable Car Tour" with incredible passion and energy. His knowledge of Bolivia's history, culture, and traditions is outstanding, and the way he combines fascinating historical events with chilling, lesser-known stories makes this tour truly unique. What impressed me the most was Daniel's patience. I had countless questions, and although we extended the tour well beyond its planned duration, he answered every single one with enthusiasm and a smile. Including El Alto in the itinerary is a brilliant idea—it adds a completely different perspective on the city and makes the experience even more authentic. If you're searching for a fresh, engaging tour full of gripping stories, cultural insights, and unforgettable moments, CAT HAT has created something really special. Highly recommended!

A very unique and eye-opening tour in La Paz. The guide explained the traditions around the cemetery clearly and respectfully, and the colorful neighborhood was one of the most beautiful places I visited in Bolivia. I really enjoyed the coca tea and the amazing views from the cable car.
