Roadbocks all over could not reach
The tour guide was terrible. His explanations of the sites inevitably included aliens and highly inaccurate dates. The tour was full of bad information and old racist ideas that locals couldn't have made these sites. The tour company should hire some archeologists and historians to write accurate, up to date information for the guides. I would NOT recommend this tour.
Great experience with my tour guide, Juan. Very knowledgeable about his craft and attentive to his customer’s needs. Bravo!
The guide was great and the whole experience was well worth the trip! The ride was also better than expected.
Very good experience, very cultural, everything in time, the excellent guides had a setback but the guides knew how to help me in that situation
Excellent walk. Very well informed, rich in details and explanations of the guide. Beautiful place full of cultural attractions and emotions.
Tour company cancel the day before & TripAdvisor still sent me text that trip was confirmed. Tour company never replied to my multiple queries. Don’t used Inti Travel. Totally unreliable in our case.
We booked this trip thru Trip Advisor with Inti Travel manager months before our travel date of early August. My hotel wasn’t listed on the pick up locations. So I contacted Inti Travel thru Trip Advisor 16 days b4 our trip asking if they can pick us up at our hotel, if not how do I find them at the meeting place- NOTHING total silence. Phone # listed for Inti travel is not connected and nothing from WhatsApp either. Now 1 day before our trip, we’ve been charge $110 for2 still nothing after I messaged them today. We are at their office in La Paz in a Tue at 2pm & the office is locked & closed. We’ll go to the meeting place at described time tomorrow & see if they show up! I’ll update this review if we do get to go! Very frustrating!
It was great. Only the food was frozen . Magnificent place the very good guide explained everything clearly
Doble check your pick up time you chose, they change and leave you behind, they did it to me, caused me additional cost, waiting to return to the USA to present my case.
