An amazing trip with Ivan and Andres

5.00Everything was perfectly organized. Ivan the guide, and Andres as well, did an amazing job! The views were stunning, the whole itinerary was explained perfectly, and it was an enjoyable trip. Also, the bus is modern and comfortable. We had WiFi (which was working!) and power sockets, and a lot of leg room.
Amazing Adventure

5.00An amazing experience on the two-day tour to Copacabana and Sun Island. I thank the Enterprise for the impeccable organization and, above all, for the attention to the details and the well-being of the participants. A special highlight goes to the guide Ivan, whose sympathy, knowledge and dedication made the tour even more enriching. It is very gratifying to see an Enterprise so committed to the quality of Service and customer satisfaction, I highly recommend!

2.00Isla del Sol was marvellous. The journey there was horrible in an old uncomfortable bus. A lot of confusion on the bus as there’re were customers of two or three trips mixed. The talk about entering Peru was very confusing as it did not apply to the visitors to Isla del Sol who returned to La Paz. The info materials provided by the operator stated that one can arrange accommodation with the guide on the bus. False. I received that info a day before the trip but only because I took the initiative to confirm. They apologised a lot but apologising is cheap. Moreover, no prior adequate info on what one can do in the many hours alone on the island after arrival in the afternoon till 15:00 the next day. No info one should not book accommodation on top of the very steep hill, requiring to walk a steep donkey oath, if one has luggage. All the talk about amigios and chicos did not make it more friendly. One recommendable highlight was the female guide who was in charge of the minibus, which brought us to our accommodation in La Paz: she waited till my accommodation host opened the door because she was concerned about personal safety. Thank you
Well organized agency

5.00Super organized! I would recommend it to travel in Bolivia. We crossed the border with Peru Hop and proceeded to La Paz with Bolivia Hop. They follow you in any part of the trip, never left alone! A big thank to Abner, who was a very good guide and helped me to find a book I left on the bus! Thanks a lot
