Excellent staff, great service, super recommend the team.
Muito obrigado pela sua avaliação! 😊 Ficamos muito felizes em saber que você teve uma boa experiência com nossa equipe e nosso atendimento. Agradecemos de coração a recomendação e esperamos atendê-lo novamente em breve. Boa viagem!
Our experience with this tour was extremely disappointing from start to finish. To begin with, our guide showed up late at our hotel on a holiday, which caused us to miss our scheduled bus. Instead, we had to walk and take two separate cable cars just to reach a different bus terminal—and then wait in the freezing cold for almost an hour. This was especially frustrating since we had already paid for a direct hotel pickup. When we finally got on the bus, the guide was carrying around our “meals,” which turned out to be cold pizza and lasagna. The food was awful. On top of that, the air conditioning either wasn’t working or wasn’t turned on, while the radiators were blasting heat all night. It was impossible to sleep because the bus was unbearably hot. Breakfast was another disappointment. We had to walk ten minutes in freezing weather to a café, only to be served cold bread and butter with a black coffee that was bitter and undrinkable—no milk provided. Overall, the entire package felt like a complete joke. What they advertise and what you actually get are two completely different things.
Dear Kieran and Kelly, We are truly sorry to read that your experience did not meet your expectations. We understand how frustrating it must have been to face delays and inconveniences during your tour, especially on a holiday like Halloween. Please know that our team always does its best to make the most appropriate decisions in real time to ensure that our guests do not lose their service, even when unexpected events occur that are beyond our control. Regarding the bus temperature, we would like to clarify that the heating levels you experienced are the standard across all buses operating in Bolivia, and we always strive to provide the most comfortable environment possible under these conditions. We truly appreciate your feedback, as it helps us continue improving our service and communication. We hope you can understand that we always act with the best intentions and with our passengers’ comfort in mind. Warm regards, Erika Bernal Rojas CEO ROAD RUNNER
We took the bus from La Paz to Uyuni and back. Miguel was very kind to us. He served us pizza for dinner and breakfast on the way back. He picked us up at the hotel and helped us get a taxi back. The only problem I had was with the bus: both the outbound and return journeys were too hot. The window radiators were burning, and all the windows were closed. I didn't get any sleep. The legroom is tight, and if you fold down the seat in front, you can't fit.
Dear Angy, Thank you very much for your feedback! We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We’re glad to hear that Miguel took good care of you during your trip. We’ll definitely take your comments about the bus temperature into account, and for the upcoming summer season we’ll make the necessary adjustments to better regulate the temperature and ensure a more comfortable journey. Have good and safe travels! Best wishes Erika Bernal Rojas CEO Road Runner
All very professional and reliable. Pick up from the hotel in La Paz with transfer in large bus incl. dinner (pizza with fresh basil) by English guide. Bus very comfortable, warm (incl. blanket!) and punctual. Even from Uyuni everything worked out fine (no pick-up here, as everything is within walking distance). Note: At the bus station in Uyuni there is no warm waiting room or similar - rather wait in front of it in the city in a cafe. Guide organized and in La Paz directly still a good taxi. Fully recommended.
The bus was comfortable and punctual Even if there is no screen and the seat does not drop completely horizontally
Comfortable and a good alternative when there are no flights available to Uyuni or La Paz. Drive is smooth and sleep is satisfactory.
Dear Marika, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience. We're delighted to hear that you found our premium bus comfortable. We are truly dedicated to ensuring our passengers feel well taken care of. Your feedback means a lot to us, and it motivates us to continue delivering high-quality service. We hope to have the pleasure of accompanying you on another journey in the future. Best Regards Erika Rojas CEO ROAD RUNNER
The service ran on time and got us safely to our destination, which we appreciated. However, the overall experience was disappointing. The bus was quite old and noisy, and we felt every bump in the road. Dinner consisted of cold pizza, and breakfast required a fairly long walk into town — which we knew we’d have to do eventually, but still felt poorly planned. The included breakfast was just three small slices of toast with butter and jam, and coffee that was undrinkable. We ended up ordering our own, which was fine. There was no Wi-Fi on board, and with the seat in front reclined, it was difficult to find a comfortable position for our legs. Given the price we paid, we expected a higher level of comfort and service.
Dear Sir, We are very sorry that your experience was not satisfactory. We appreciate you highlighting in our punctual and safe service, as we work to offer the best in that regard. We understand that the inconveniences you mentioned have affected your experience, and we apologize for this. Regarding the condition of the bus, we assure you that this is not typical for our fleet, we review everyday our buses with the team to ensure that all our vehicles maintain the comfort and quality standards our passengers expect. It is important to mention that, in Bolivia, the buses available are standard, and the so-called "bed buses" have a maximum inclination of 160 degrees, which may differ from the expectations of those traveling from other countries. We would also like to point out that Bolivian roads have certain limitations, and in some sections, there may be potholes that affect the comfort of the ride. Even so, we strive to maintain the best possible experience within these conditions. Regarding breakfast, we regret that it didn't meet your expectations, but we will take this into account to improve our planning for the future. We will also contact the cafeteria to review the quality of what was served that day. It's important to note that upon arrival in Uyuni, we are the unique company who provide a suitable space for passengers to rest and enjoy a breakfast, other companies jut give you a box breakfast, but we which consider an important part of the experience after a long trip, in Uyuni all the Caffè shops are located three blocks from the bus station, it's not a long walk, you can get in five minutes. Finally, regarding Wi-Fi service, we inform youin our page that it is not included on the bus because many areas have very limited or no internet coverage. For this reason, we cannot guarantee stable service during the trip. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We would appreciate the opportunity to serve you better in the future. Sincerely, Dayner Valda Montenegro CEO
