I had initially planned to tour Tiwanaku and Puma Punku solo, and save a buck by just hiring a driver for the day… That would have been a huge mistake. The cost to do a private tour solo may sound a bit pricey, but it was a priceless experience. I would have been unbelievably upset with myself to have come all the way down here and skip the guide. Sure, I would have plenty of Instagram worthy photos and settle for making my own conjectures of this magnificent place, but it would have been a hollow experience as Puma Punku in particular has zero signs. I’m sure all the guides at Inti Travel are very well versed in these ancient sites, but I feel that I was extremely lucky to have Teodoro as my guide. His English is perfect as well. He’s so very knowledgeable about these places. *Tip for all Ancient Aliens and Graham Hancock nerds out there… Teodoro is who you want, he believes what we all instinctually feel about this place. It was very refreshing to speak freely about ideas that mainstream science and archaeology love to scoff at. I don’t even open up fully about these topics with my friends and family because they’ll think I’m losing it! Again, I didn’t want to do a tour initially because I wanted to spend the majority of my time at Puma Punku and I also don’t have the patience to deal with other people, full stop. So we went to Puma Punku first and had the place all to ourselves for hours. Having Teodoro’s undivided attention allowed me a tour of this place second to none. Furthermore, I was really floored by the knowledge he had of the main temple at Tiwanaku. I think that’s what really put this tour over the top. If I had self guided I would have missed so many details about deciphering the Iconography, techniques, timeline, the ancient relationship of Lake Titicaca and Tiwanaku, the drainage and irrigation systems, and last but not least… his ability to tie it all together when we went through the museums. Do yourself a favor and get a private tour either for yourself, couple or small group, and be sure to ask for Teodoro. Avoid the randoms, move at your own pace, and soak in an experience like no other. Prepare your mind for lift off…! I myself will continue to digest all of this new information and history that were never told directly. This tour really reinforced the perception I have of our mysterious and hidden past.

Parts of the tour was rushed. All of the signature was in Spanish so I would have expect our English guide to explain more but he spent more time explaining everything in Spanish, so by the end of the tour we were left wondering due to lack of information in English.

Do not book there! I booked a trip on Friday for Sunday. Received Email confirmation, saying a travel agent would contact me with details. Nobody contacted me. I had to call and write several times via Email, Google and WhatsApp the entire Saturday afternoon. No answer. Then, just the answer: the tour is not operating. No info about this on the website, where you can book. No Email. No Call. No info. I would have lost my Sunday. Fortunately, I could still find last minute another travel agency. They confirmed me everything immediately, Plus are cheaper. FOUR other travelers in my hostel had similar bad experiences with other tours! They will also write bad reviews! Also in my a very big hostel they told me that other travelers had very bad experience with this company before! DO NOT BOOK THERE! (the old good reviews seem fake!).

This trip didn’t happen due to a mix up in local providers in Potosi. We were taken on the (absolutely mind blowing trip) by another company who, in fairness, made an error in including us on their tour but these things happen. They were KOALA TOURS. The company asked for payment but we said we’d paid and that surely INTI TRAVEL would reimburse. No, they would not - which I think is quite disappointing. The local cost was 260 BOB for 2 & Viator charged us 442 BOB - so they aren’t losing anything. The local guides will have this money deducted from their salary which is terrible. I ask that Viator revisit this case and change their minds and pay Koala Travel for taking us on the tour. Until then I will steer well clear of them during our travels. Please re-look at this case and d do the honourable thing. WhatsApp me on +44 7412643359 for further details.

Awful experience. They packed us in old Toyota van. Was 15 of us in this small van (no more than 8 people can fit comfortable ). Also, group was mixture Spanish - English, so guide needed to switch constantly, which is hard to follow. I would go again to Tiwanaku but with different provider. Site is amazing, long lasting memory!

WE STAYED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PALMIRA HOTEL IN LA PAZ,THEY LAST STAY WE WHERE DISAPPOINTED,ROOM NOT SO CLEAN , BREAKFAST ALWAYS GOOD.

We really enjoyed this trip. What might appear initially underwhelming was brought to life by the passion and knowledge of our wonderful guide Theo (forgive any misspelling). His knowledge and enthusiasm made the time here go incredibly quickly. The work of these ancient craftsmen was amazing and the detail would easily be missed had it not been for our guide.

The site is amazing! Tour was great, the guide explained the story very well. We enjoyed it very much even though the visit to Puma Punku at the end of the trip was very rushed. Would recomend

This was such a fun day. The scenery was breathtaking, and the cycling so exhilarating. Our guide Waldo was fantastic along with our driver Pato. We would definitely recommend this experience

This was a total highlight of our trip so far (6 weeks in all across South America). Our guide was waldo and our driver pato, they were fab and made the experience even better. The trail is indescribable, the cycle is so adrenaline filled - I recommend it to anyone, you just need a little bit of confidence on a bike, you don't need to be a total expert. It was cloudy and rainy and we still had a great time and got some great photos. It is very cold at the top so I recommend lots of layers/warm jumper, I also wished I'd brought my own gloves to wear under theirs, and maybe a scarf/snood and even a hat. Still, when you get down a bit out warms up, and you aren't doing any exercise really as you're just going downhill so you don't get super sweaty! We didn't do the zip line but it did look fun. Watch out that one you start the actual death road descent you won't have access to water or loos for 2-3 hours. We ended up having a private tour just the two of us, for a group it might be faster or slower I'm not sure.

Alphy was the best guide I ever met. He spent a lot of time to explain stories both in Spanish and English. I could tell he was repeating the same thing bouncing between two languages. Super! The day was beautiful, the ruins were magnificent, and the lunch was delicious!

Waldo, Louis and Jose, you’re the best!! Thank you for the best ride of our lives. What an adventure and you guys took so good care of us. What a day! We recommend this company and staff to all of you who is looking for an adventure with good guids. We wish you all the best and hopefully one day we will meet you again!

Amazing experience, incredible plan to travel, big and comfortable bus, and excellent food. Uyuni is a destination amazing to visit.

This private tour was excellently arranged by Inti Travels. No hassle drive to Copacabana and a boat over to Isla del Sol. High elevation doesn’t allow us to run around the whole island, but we got to see some Inca sites. Ascent to the local village took a while, but it was worth it. We got to see the beautiful sunset over Lago Titicaca. Our hostess Sonia took good care of us in our accommodation. Next morning the beautiful sunrise over Isla de la Luna started the day. Boat over to Copacabana to see local Saturday life. Our amazing tour guide Juan explained the things and traditions we saw in the local market and by the church, where a wedding was ongoing. After lunch a drive back to La Paz. I can strongly recommend this trip. On the hindsight we could have stayed one night more in Isla del Sol or Copacabana.

We asked for a combination of Lago Titicaca and Tiwanaku and get an offer. Unsure if it will be what we expect, we were picked up at our hotel in La Paz and had the greatest two days of our trip! The bilingual guide (Juan) explained a lot about the cultures in the country and was always here to answer any kind of questions. This was also possible because beside him, we also had a driver. The accomondation was great (very calm on the Isla del Sol) and the food always "muy muy rico". Thanks to our guide for amazing days. Route: La Paz - Copacabana - Isla del Sol (night) - Copacabana - Tiwanaku - La Paz.
