Recommended tour! - 5 stars for the landacape, because isla del sol is really beautiful and deserves to be visited more in detail, spending a night on the island. 5 stars for the guides too, because on the same day(s) they handle people with different targets - those Who go back to La Paz the same day, those going to Perù and those spending a night on Isla del sol and Coming back the day after- without losing trace of anything and always available for help and questions. Really recommended!

Sensational in every aspect - Best way to tour from Bolivia to Peru. Go by bus and enjoy the entire interior of the countries. They pick you up at the hotel. They are punctual. They were flexible with changing tours and had a guide who spoke Spanish and English. I recommend!! There is no better in these 2 countries

A tour I’ll never forget - The Bolivia hop experience was amazing. The tours and everything were well organized. I had an incident where I didnt follow directions and missed the bus. All my bags, passport, etc were gone. Andres came to the rescue and let me know he was on his way back for me. I felt so relieved and I’m happy to have done this tour and bus ride. I’d recommend to anyone!

convenient - apart from visas, I pretty much just had to pay and everything else were handled by them.. I didn't have much time to research and try to figure out things on my own so for me, it was convenient as I just had to show up. the staff and guides were very friendly and answered any questions i had before and during the tour

Very helpful and attentive - The best tour in La Paz. The tour guides were very nice and explained everything in detail. I got really bad soroche sickness and unfortunately had to come back to La Paz the same day. One of the guides was very nice about it, and went out of his way to arrange for me to come back on a bus from another excursion. Everything was very pleasant, even though my sickness!!

Worth it - Overall, a fun trip. The staff was great and the busses are clean and comfortable. It is a great way to travel across the boarder and the stops that are included are at the key locations.

Awful company and service - do yourself a favour and organise the trip yourself so you can save money and stress! - When it comes to this company I can only think of bad things.. as soon as we left the bus terminal, the bus crashed into the gate of the bus terminal - good start. Then during the night the driver has overseen a speed bump so we were literally flying for a second. The seats and the whole interior in the bus were worse than in any standard nightbus. Also, the blanket that we were promised was an absolut joke as it wasn’t even big enough to cover half of your body. The bus guide was lacking language skills in English and wasn’t capable of leading the group and shouldn’t have this job. The breakfast was so small, I thought they were kidding when they served it. The tour in Peru to the Titicacasea was awful: The guide told his memorised text to us and it was a purely touristic experience. Also, toilet breaks weren’t planned during the bus ride. Finally, when I contacted them on WhatsApp regarding a tour in Copacabana, they never replied - so yeah, what an awful service. To summarise this experience: It wasn’t fun, it costs a lot of money and you literally don’t gain any benefit. Do yourself a favour and book the buses and trips yourself as you will some money and will probably get a better experience too.

Not worth the money - The tour was grant but i do believe this company is way overcharging people. First the bus is good but when looking at the website you should have wifi and toilet… but the reality is was different They also put a movie on on the way back which no one requested! it was very annoying The guides were just OK, we didn’t learn a lot about Copacabana and Isla del sol, which is what they are here for. I’ve learnt more about Copacabana in La Paz doing a walking tour about La Paz!! The boat to cross one part of the lake was grim! They shoved us in even though the boat was clearly not made to hold those mainly people. We had to stand!!! Not worth the money! You are better off looking to someone else
