About this tour

Bolivia is the only country in the world where the popular hamburger chain, Mcdonald’s, one of the symbols of globalization and capitalism, has gone bankrupt. After little more than 5 years of operations, its eight restaurants in the country had to close their doors because, simply, the Bolivians didn’t care.

We can almost say that for many today Bolivia is something like the village of Asterix and Obelix, a corner of the world that resists against all odds what these same people call the “cultural imperialism” of globalization and the great Western powers.

But how is Bolivia really doing? These are some of the questions we’re going to answer in this experience.

This interactive storytelling walk is meant to have the flow and information-heavy experience of a documentary. It takes us into a comprehensive analysis, providing surprising answers.

It highlights the social and political elements of Bolivia, from the creation of the Bolivian state to modern times. We’ll address both historical and current events from a balanced & non-biased point of view to help you determine your views of this land for yourself.

The experience is aimed at people with a genuine interest in politics and those keen to learn more about the situation in Bolivia by conducting some first-hand research.

Feel free to contact me for a date and hour that suits you best.

What an interesting experience this political and social tour of La Paz allows you to better understand the history of Bolivia and its current situation, which we generally ignore in Europe. I loved this country even more, which was able to push McDonald’s and other Kentucky fried chicken outside its borders. Kevin’s narration is captivating and peppered with anecdotes. We feel that he is involved and answers questions perfectly. I highly recommend this experience to travel smarter.

Kevin was fantastic, taking us through centuries of Bolivian history in an engaging and accessible way, and weaving his own family’s stories throughout. Despite the huge amount of information, we never felt overwhelmed and we thought he made it very easy to follow. We appreciated that he told both sides of controversial events in history and welcomed questions from us every step of the way. He’s a talented storyteller and well-informed guide, and was happy to provide recommendations around the city when the tour concluded. We really enjoyed the tour and recommend it highly. Thank you Kevin!
