What people are saying about La Paz

wow, it was such an experience. The bus overnight is just great. Yes, the seats are adjustable and can sleep well. But the trip surpassed my expectations. I think I've also got lucky with the group. The drive and guide were fantastic. On every stop (and also on our way) the guide explained us many things. And he always had an answer or tried to. And he was super fun. It makes me laugh just thinking of it. I've also heard many bad stories about people doing this trip with other companies, but I haven't a single bad thing to say. I've absolutely loved it. If you are thinking of doing this, I advise you to (do, of course) search on the internet, what to take with you, what to expect from the trip, etc. It's a bit remote so, really make sure to have money with you and tell your family you will be off.

Undertook the five day Uyuni tour. Visited a number of spectacular locations within the trip of over 1,100 kilometres. All accommodation was basic but very well maintained. Food was very satisfactory. Our guide Sol was very informative giving us details about each location. I considered the trip very worthwhile and excellent value for money
