Beautiful experience

5.00We arrived in La Paz from Copacabana on New Year's Eve. As anticipated (we had been warned in an email the day before), the city's roads were blocked by markets, and there was no way for the bus to get through. Our guide, Abner, did an amazing job, explaining the situation clearly—that we needed to walk a few minutes to the cable car (teleférico) to continue our journey into the city center. Abner took care of everyone, arranging taxis at the other end to take more than 20 passengers to their different hotels and paying for the extra transportation. One or two passengers were upset about the change of plans, but there was nothing more that could be done. Abner, working all the logistics late into the night under pressure, was impressively professional. We arrived at our hotel around 10:30 pm, with plenty of time to enjoy the incredible New Year's fireworks!
Lack of communication, tour cancelled, no refund

1.00Tour was cancelled due to protesting and road blockades. Reached numerous time for clarification and no response. They don’t offer refunds, only trip credit. Dispute charge with your credit card company. Protests in Bolivia have been getting more intense and increased police activity. I wouldn’t recommend coming to La Paz until the situation improves.

5.00Bolivia Hop / Peru Hop were really accommodating when my friend and I decided to change our plans a few times. I messaged the WhatsApp Peru Hop account and they were very quick to respond and quick to make changes to our reservations as per our requests. I’d highly recommend travelling with them as they are very efficient, organized, stay on schedule, and are very kind.
Impressive service
