Miriam, nuestra guía, nos hizo un recorrido por los monumentos históricos más emblemáticos, inclusive, ingresamos a algunos de ellos, cosa muy valorable. Lo que más nos gustó que nos hizo interactuar con gente del lugar que la paraba para saludar. Translate this opinion into English.

Miriam, our guide, took us on a tour of the most emblematic historical monuments, and we even went inside some of them, which was a really nice touch. What we liked most was that she made us interact with locals who stopped her to say hello. Opinion translated. Show original.

No nos gustó nada la experiencia con la guía que nos tocó.. Una persona sin preparación, sin ganas y simplemente diciendo datos que se había aprendido de memoria y que no ayudaron para nada a la comprensión de la historia de Potosí. Duró una hora escasa. Desde luego el peor free tour que hemos probado jamás.

We were completely dissatisfied with our guide. She was unprepared, unenthusiastic, and simply recited memorized facts that did nothing to help us understand the history of Potosí. The tour lasted barely an hour. Definitely the worst free tour we've ever tried.

We had a great tour with Miriam today! We really appreciated the amount of time she spent with us in the museum, and how she shared with us some of the local street food. We also got lucky and saw some of the schools performing in celebration for Christmas and we got to share in some of the food there. Great tour, highly recommend Miriam who was very knowledgeable.

Julio fue muy amable y ameno.

Tuvimos un mal entendido con la agencia, pues al llegar al punto de encuentro (faltando dos minutos para la hora del tour), el señor en la recepción nos dijo que ya habían partido y que adiós. Sin embargo, a los quince minutos me escribió Miriam (la persona que nos hizo el recorrido) y se disculpó por el actuar de esa persona. Yo ya estaba almorzando y Miriam, muy atentamente, esperó para luego hacer el tour. Miriam fue muy atenta y agradable, nos llevó a todos los sitios relevantes de Potosí. Translate this opinion into English.

We had a misunderstanding with the agency, because when we arrived at the meeting point (two minutes before the tour time), the man at the reception told us that they had already left and that he had to say goodbye. However, fifteen minutes later Miriam (the person who gave us the tour) wrote to me and apologized for the person's actions. I was already having lunch and Miriam very attentively waited to do the tour. Miriam was very attentive and pleasant, she took us to all the relevant sites in Potosí. Opinion translated.

The walking tour was great. Not only did we learn about the history of Potosí, but Julio made sure we also get a glimpse of the culture and traditions that are being practiced in this area today. We ended up being invited to an art gallery as well as to a poem recitation. Thanks Julio!

A nossa guia Miriam foi incrível, um dos melhores free walk tour que já fizemos, explicou toda a historia de Potosí, passando por vários pontos importantes da cidade que nunca saberíamos sem o tour, nos levou para tomar sorvete local. Nós convidou também a visitar o studio do Carlos, um incrível e amável artista local que deveria ser parada obrigatória em Potosí. Por fim nos levou também em um incrível miradouro para ver o pôr do sol . Muito recomendado fazer esse tour. Translate this opinion into English.

Our guide Miriam was amazing, one of the best free walking tours we've ever done, she explained the entire history of Potosí, covering several important points in the city that we would never have known without the tour, and took us to have local ice cream.

The tour of the city was good and the girl took us to see the best spot. I would have had more precise information, sometimes it wasn't that clear. (The tour should have been done in spanish but as none speaks it on a high level, the girl switched to English - I think that's why the explanation was at a basic level).

The guides are qualified to deliver the contents of the tours in the languages in which they are offered. Even so, we take all comments into account in order to continue improving as much as possible.
