Although I didn’t get to take the tour I wanted to comment on how accommodating they were. I needed to push back the tour by one day and they did so with no penalty. Ultimately, I had to cancel due to blockades and needing to leave Sucre early.
Sucre tour at its finest!

We had a great morning with Hugo! His command of English is great and he was able to bring us to some of the important sites around town and explain in great detail about them. We gave great recommendations of things to do after the tour as well. It was well organized and definitely worth the money (including tip… don’t forget to tip your guide!)
Great Sucre walking tour!

A very interesting tour, which covers lots of historical and important locations within the city. My guide Carla, was very knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. She took me to several locations, I wasn't expecting. This helped me gain insider knowledge for the rest of my stay in Sucre, so recommend doing this walk as you arrive. I was also able to ride public transport with my guide, which was a great experience too.
An excellent walking tour with a very knowledgeable and personable guide.

What a fantastic walking tour of Sucre. I highly recommend. We were shown around the city by Carla who looked after us very well. Carla took us on a local bus which was a great experience and one we would never have done without a local. The bus was great as it took us up to the high point of the city with the best view.

At a high altitude of over 9000 feet, I felt not able to self walk to explore Sucre, then signed up for this tour less than 24 hours before the tour and inadvertently requested a Spanish speaking guide. Realizing the mistake, I emailed and messaged via What App to Manuel He assured me that my guide would be English speaking.That guide was Carla, with perfect English and vast knowledge of Sucre history. It was an interesting history lessons, the significant meanings of dates named for plazas , the indepency war. We visited the cemetery where mausoleums of Bolivian presidents and others, tombs of middle class and workers' class. Then Carla took us to Main Plaza, and other places by public buses. The interesting part of the tour is the 3 legends of Black cat alley. We had good time at Central market , bought tropical fruits,( guava in season) and enjoyed fresh fruit juice, combinations of passion fruit, mango and oranges. Over all, Carla is informative and professional. I highly recommend this tour, especially with reasonable price
Interesting and off the beaten path

Maneul was great with communication and quick to get me on a last minute tour. He tagged in Carla to guide me, and together we covered some ground! It was interesting to get the historical back story of places i had seen earlier like the buildings around the Plaza 25 de Mayo as well as learning more about Bolivia's overall story. I wouldn't have thought to visit the cemetery or Recoleta, which were great additions. Carla's knowledge was extensive and she was happy to answer questions. Also fun to meet her shopkeepers in the market. Thanks!
INCREDIBLE WALKING TOUR of SUCRE!!

Very attentive guide in a city that is very nice and rich. Do not enter paid attractions, which complements other activities you may come to do. Thanks to her we went to places that in the beginning we would not go (Recoleta and Municipal Market) because they are more distant

Even being carnival and with everything closed in the city, the guide was able to make a script through the city of Sucre, just with me, focusing on the history of the city and donated Bolivia, its characters and important points. I recommend.
The Hugo guide is very good.
