Got up early , got picked up on time, went out to the start of the hike, and it all went well, Sergio was a good driver, a good conversation, knowledgeable. The scenery was awesome, it was a sunrise hike, even if you don't see the sun, it's a trip worth taking. A good start to the day. The hike itself was easy to moderate.
Got picked up to go for the early morning sunrise hike, kinda rainy and drizzling this morning , so didn't really expect to see the sun. But the the hike was easy to moderate, the views were amazing, and the guide who took me, sergio, he was was very knowledgeable and good at communicating. I would highly rate this as a must do if you are here in La Paz bolivia
The guide was basic and spoke more to the driver than to me. Stayed well ahead of me in the hike and several times I had to ask him if I could take a photo without him in the frame.
We are very sorry that you didn't have a complete experience with our team. Unfortunately, on this occasion, Sergio, the lead guide, was unable to accompany you. We appreciate your preference and guarantee that a similar situation will not happen again. This feedback helps us evaluate and improve our services and better train our new guides and team.
Sergio picked us up from our hotel for a sunrise hike in Valle de las Ánimas. He was extremely knowledgeable and provided fascinating, worldly conversation throughout the tour and some tips to make the most of our last day. After the hike, we enjoyed a delicious traditional Bolivian breakfast. This experience is highly recommended—there’s truly no better way to explore Valle de las Ánimas!
Sergio was amazing! Our tour of Valle de las Ánimas was unforgettable. He was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating details about the area's unique geology and cultural significance. He was also so patient with my family, especially as we took our time climbing the trail. The drivers who picked us up were just as wonderful—kind, generous, and eager to share more about life in Bolivia. The views were absolutely breathtaking—a true hidden gem!
I would never book with this company again. The tour was cancelled due to public protests. They knew this would be an issue, that it would be hard to travel, but took the booking anyway. Even after their negligence I only received half refund. Very disappointed.
Emily. We did not cancel the tour. Both the guide, Andrew, and the driver were at your hotel at the agreed-upon time. You departed and arrived at a point where the protests no longer allowed you to continue. In this specific case, the protests had been confirmed at the end of the day before your tour, and since your tour starts around 5 a.m., we had no information on the status of the protests. We understand the displeasure caused by the situation. I must clarify that transportation strikes and protests are events beyond our control. We wish you the best and we are sorry that we couldn't fulfill the tour as we always do. We love what we do.
Very nice experience to get to know the city a bit, Jorge thank you are an excellent guide and our driver Yassir my thanks for so kind I recommend them if they come to Bolivia 🇧🇴
