It was a truly adventure day, after crossing the border with Perù we had a nice lunch in Copacabana and then moving to Isla del Sol, with a nice hike and amazine viewpoints. We then headed to La Paz passing by Tiquina with the boat, a trip full of adrenaline. I really want to thank from the bottom of my hear our guide Xavier, with his energy and his passion he really brought this experience to another level! Super suggested.
Great for solo traveler's the journey is long but the guide Emerson was great at answering questions and making the journey interesting
My partner is from Kentucky, USA, and I am from Santa Cruz, Bolivia; we decided to visit La Paz to get to know the beautiful landscapes and places that Bolivia has. We did a one-day tour from La Paz to Copacabana and the Island of the Sun. Our guide was Javier and we loved the experience we had with him; attentive, organized, bilingual, very professional. A solid 10/10 from the excellent service with Red Line to the moment they dropped us off at the hotel after the tour. Bolivia Hop 100% recommended
It was a nice experience, thanks to the agency for all the logistics behind it and also to Ivan, an excellent guide who makes everything a success. I highly recommend it
It was a very well-organised tour, and everything ran smoothly. However, I felt there was quite a bit of downtime in Copacabana, where there isn't much to see or do. One option was to hike the Stations of the Cross, but that may not be suitable for many people, especially since the hike on Isla del Sol is already quite challenging due to the altitude. I think the itinerary could be improved by using that extra time to visit Moon Island (Isla de la Luna) or another nearby island instead of spending so long waiting in Copacabana. That would make the overall experience feel more worthwhile and allow visitors to see more of Lake Titicaca.
The visit was wonderful, both for what it offers in terms of scenery and for how well organized it was by the Bolivia Hop agency. A large part of the success of this visit was thanks to the guide Emerson, who was attentive to the group, helping and advising us at all times. It was a great decision to have counted on his professionalism! Highly recommended!

Andres is a great guide. Always present, giving helpful instructions, helping people, specially with an Italian gentelman that couldn't speak much English or Spanish but Andres used a translator to make sure this gentelman have the right information. Bus drive was great from La Paz to Copacabana. Such a great adventure crossing athe Strait of Tiquina with small boats amd the bus on flat floating platforms. The amazing views from the Andes Mountain range and the Titikaka lake. So beautiful colors and landscapes,I Loved this unique experience.

The guide Ivan was very attentive since the day before with important notices and tips, and especially during the tour, since when he picked us up at Airbnb and always guiding us during the trip on the bus and during the tours. Places are amazing and it's really worth the walk through the island of the Sun, but it's important to be aware of the acclimatization, because the altitude is also high. We were left at the door of Airbnb on the way back and for sure the attention, organization and kindness of the guide and his colleagues made all the difference. I recommend it for sure
