I went on this one day trip to Copacabana and Isla del Sol on 29 March on my own. I booked at get your guide and the tour was with Bolivia hop. It was such an amazing day. Everything was very well organised and our tour guide Andres was very enthusiastic and he knew a lot. He was very organized and had great control over the group and made sure the whole day ran smoothly. He was very attentive and checked if we needed anything at all times. Also great that you could reserve lunch for arrival in Copacabana. Only thing that could be improved is that sometimes there was an overflow of information both in announcements in the bus and WhatsApp group. While I understand that it’s important to keep people informed, sometimes it was a lot of information so that participants were not able to see the wood for the trees. Maybe try dosing this a bit so people don’t miss the real important information in between all the other messages. But I really enjoyed and it was very well organized!! Had a great day. :-)
This tour was amazing, everyone was very kind and things were explained. Only advice: stay on Isla del Sol for a night! I wish I did after stepping foot on it. :)
It's so beautiful - pictures don't do it justice. Ivan, our líder, was kind, informative and took care of us every step of the way. Thank you!
The tour to Isla del Sol with the agency was great, punctual and very organized.
Hola Ana, Muchas gracias por tu reseña y tus amables palabras! Nos alegra saber que disfrutaste del tour a la Isla del Sol y que valoraste nuestra puntualidad y organización. Saludos, Bolivia Hop
It was a good tour if you are spending 3-4 days in La Paz and you want to get out of the city and see some of the countryside. The bus pick up was easy and the day was well organized. Copacabana and Isla Del Sol are amazing and you only get to see so much in just a day tour. Still it was well worth it!
Comfortable bus with timely stops. Nice to have some free time in Cocacabana and very nice to preorder an amazing lunch that was right at our meeting place for the ferry. A beautiful hike on the Island at which time we departed the group to stay overnight. We will pick up the tour to return to La Paz later today.
Hi James, Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the comfortable bus, timely stops, and the extra free time in Copacabana. It’s wonderful to know that the pre-ordered lunch and the beautiful hike on the island made your journey even more memorable. Warm regards, Bolivia Hop
An unforgettable experience! Beautiful views, unexpected hikes and climbs, beautiful Inca history, and even photos with a flame! Our guide, Ivan always very friendly, respectful, shared information about the places we visited and let us know each step to follow. Very grateful and served we are leaving!
Hola, Muchas gracias por compartir tu experiencia! Nos alegra saber que disfrutaste de los impresionantes paisajes, la historia inca y los momentos únicos como las fotos con una llama. Nos enorgullece saber que Iván fue un guía atento y servicial, y que te sentiste acompañado en cada paso. Saludos, Bolivia Hop
Super organized. All via WhatsApp top cleared. Good buses. Highly recommended at any time.
Hi Mercan, Thank you so much for your amazing review and kind words about our organization and buses. We truly appreciate your recommendation. Warm regards, Bolivia Hop
Andres was great - really friendly and helped me out to pay entry into isla del sol. The Isla de Sol tour was great value, much better than the floating islands tour in Puno. I felt the Peru Hop staff were pushy salesman rather than guides but Andres was great - no issues whatsoever.
Really nice tour, well organized and Emerson is a great tour guide :)
