Excellent customer care by Bolivia Hop guides - The tour guides going and returning, Peter and Albero were both on the ball. They told us during the bus trip when we would be stopping for refreshments/toilet stops, what sights we would see as we drove along, at the Tiquina straights they made sure we knew where to go for the crossing where to wait and checked numbers to make sure no one was missing. Same attention to detail at the Copacabana to Isla del Sol crossing. The company give a map of Copacabana to ensure everyone can find the departure point, there is also a map of Isla del Sol - but only the area where they offer a walk which meets up with the boat at Yumani port.

Team work that surrounds travelers with confidence! - One choices travel companies as much for trust as much as local knowledge, Bolivia Hop has it all, in transferring to smaller buses I discovered I left my Camera bag with laptop on the bus, I was able to pick up my camera bag next morning because of great work of the Bolivia Team Estela, Alvaro and Luis. I have so much gratitude 🙏

Sorgenfrei reisen - Bolivia Hop is highly recommended. The organization was great. The tour guides were friendly, competent and helpful. We were picked up at our accommodation and dropped off at the next one. Excursions were easy to book and the guides were competent. Information always came in a timely and comprehensive manner. The flexibility in planning is remarkable. Both on the bus and in the Bolivia Hop offices they tried to fulfill our every wish and solve problems. This made organizing our trip very easy. We felt safe and in good hands right from the start. Thanks to Bolivia Hop we were able to travel flexibly and worry-free.

Great experience with Bolivia Hop - Amazing experience! From the beginning it was very easy to book, make changes, and see all of the options. When the trip came, were picked up promptly at the time scheduled. The long bus ride to Copacabana was broken up by a few stops along the way to use the restroom to buy snacks, which was appreciated. Our guide, Peter took care to review the whole itinerary and went down individually to answer any questions. After a quick lunch in Copacabana we boarded the boat for Isla del Sol. When we arrived Peter gave us a tour of the Temple of the Sun and took us to some beautiful viewpoints on the island. Some people went back to town but we opted to stay overnight on the island and return the next day. We enjoyed an evening on the island and the next day took the advice of Bolivia Hop and went to the north of the island and took the trail back. It was extremely difficult but beautiful and so worth it! We returned to Yumani port for the return boat and it left right on time. This time Luis was the guide. Back in Copacabana we waited for the bus back to La Paz which was also on time. I was impressed how they can keep track of so many difficult itineraries! The late night bus ride back was long but they played a movie and gave us popcorn, a nice touch. When we returned to La Paz the guides explained that there was a festival going on which made some of the roads impossible to drive on. They explained who would get cabs to their hotels and some would walk. We were part of the walking group. At first we were a bit disappointed as it was late and we were tired, but it turned out to provide a cool experience. Peter and Luis walked our group through giant crowds of people to make sure everyone made it to their hotels safely. While walking we got to see the amazing festival and enjoy the energy of the crowd. We even got beers to join in on the party! We made it to our hotel safely and thanked Peter and Luis for a great tour!
