“Was a good day trip. English speaking guide, Oscar,usually doesn't go out where we were and he did and the trip was well worth it for a day. Going out of the city was our goal. You don't see much but land and topography that Bolivia has to offer. Enjoyed it.”

“Although I was booked for individual excretion I was put on a group of Ten. The pick up was messy as the van hd to circulate on the crowded traffic to collect others. At some point we had to change the van before leaving the city. We were 25 in one Van. Although I was expecting to be collected and dropped from and to my hotel, there was no dropping. I was left somewhere and the guide gave me insufficient direction to my hotel.”

Guides such as David pair the long drive with clear explanations and flexible timing.

“The guide David and driver Diego were excellent. We had a lot of fun together and the day was exactly as advertised, altough we did visit Titicaca first and Tiwanaku second. Since you spend a lot more time at Tiwanaku this did make a lot of sense and was probably the better order.”
