Buyer Beware! We booked this well in advance, and before booking our flights to Bolivia - the only reason we went. They cancelled on us 48 hours before the tour stating one line NO FLIGHTS. They provided no options, no explanation other than they did not book flight in advance and now none were available. They the proceeded to LIE about this to Viator, stating flight was cancelled to avoid responsibility. I have the ENTIRE thing in writing to prove my honesty on the matter. I would not trust them to deliver on the contract you make with a purchase.Show more

I have to start off by mentioning the tour sightseeing was really good and jampacked, the tour drivers and guide were a great group of lads that were also having fun! Which was pleasing to see. I would highlight in your advertising the fact the tour was a 3 day 4 wheel drive trek over the desert on top of the Andes mountains! This was a massive highlight for me as a big part of the experience. The accommodation and food is where the tour let its self down. The accommodation was poor for the year 2025. The least you expect it toilet paper! I can handle no WIFI and even limited electricity and no hot water for a few days but no toilet paper, come on! So if you like your comfort this trip is not for you. Food was really basic and doesnt cater for everyone, so be warned.Show more
