I had an absolutely fantastic day. I was picked up right on time and had a great guide. Javier did a fantastic job; he was very friendly and took excellent care of his guests. He made sure that everything was clear and that everyone felt completely at ease—everything went perfectly smoothly. Furthermore, he shared a wealth of knowledge with us and told us some fascinating legends. Thank you so much, Javier—you were great!

Reviews
We did a Cusco to La Paz bus tour. The booking was easy. We did an extra tour to Lake Titicaca and Isla Del Sol which we just had an amazing experience. The access from Peru to Bolivia immigration was also easy as the bus coordinators (Luis and Andres) were all kind, patient, and efficient. We arrived in La Paz on Oct 31st and the road was full of people. Andres went beyond his duty to call each traveller's hotel to help each one arrive safely. Anna, from.Bolivia Hop office also helped us get thru the crowd to our hotel on foot, as roads were closed due to the Halloween celebration.
We booked the tour as part of our overland journey from La Paz to Puno. Everything worked out smoothly. We were continuously well informed about timing, program an options. Our guide Javier was amazing. So attentive, helpful and all smiles! He shared many interesting stories and historic events. Warm recommendation!
Andres was very well organized and very friendly. He explained everything clear and helped out if needed. We were perfect on time the whole trip! Thanks for the perfect organisation, we‘ll come back again!
Tour was amazing. Very organized and punctual. Emerson was our guide. He was super kind, professional and knowledgeable. I would recommend this agency and this tour. From Ana, who was the sweet lady who sold me the tour to Emerson and the drivers were super friendly and keen to help.
The tour was great, we had Emerson as a guide, he was really fun and could answer all our questions exhaustively. Definitely recommended!
I had a great time with Emerson as our host. He was very clear and informative with instructions and advice on the locations we went to. He was an amazing host/guide!
We had a fantastic experience with Abner on Bolivia Hop. Although we were only with Abner from Copacabana to La Paz he left a lasting impression on us because of his kindness, efficiency, and great advice. He was incredibly helpful throughout the journey and communicated with us clearly the whole time. He even gave us Bolivian popcorn on our final leg of the trip! Even a day later when we reached out to him with a question about our salt flats tour he was responsive and helpful. Thank you Abner and Bolivia Hop for ensuring our safe passage to Bolivia and providing great tips for La Paz! Rachel and Sam.
Abner and Andres did a great job guiding our tour! They knew the answer to every question and laid things out very clearly for us. Very grateful to them both for a great day !
Abner our tour guide was great. Very friendly, polite and has fluent English. He was very informative and answered all our questions. Andres his assistant was also great for organising the group.
Excellent service. Buses are comfortable. They have wifi all the time and it is fast enough, so you are never disconnected. Our guide was very good: Emerson. He gave us step by step accurate information and links (in whatsapp chat) regarding what was going on in the tour and lots of advice. We really appreciate the service provided by this tour operator. They did not let us down. Doing this tour in one day is probably too much. My recommendation is that if you have time stay in Copacabana or Isla del Sol at least one night. We only had one day available.
Isla del sol is very nice and peaceful, the water is clear like the sea. A special mention to our guide, Ivan, he is very prepared and helped us a lot with useful advices.
Great value for money and well organised, Andres was amazing, thanks so much. Only issue being the coach was freezing cold overnight from Cusco to Puno (Peru).
Had an amazing day exploring with these guys. Our guide Andres was fantastic! I speak almost no Spanish but his English was perfect, he answered all my dumb gringo questions and gave us loads of local tips. I'm in La Paz right now eating the peanut soup he recommended which is one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten :) If you do the tour, which I highly recommended you do, make sure and ask Andres for his peanut soup recommendation :)
Andres is one very professional and experienced guide. He is very details and careful in plan and explanation to us. We do enjoy the trip. Bolivia HOP is the best choice that you deserved. Thanks to Andres.
Pleasant day full of action considering the distance we covered, but the guide ANDRES made everything going smooth always ready to help and advice. Highly Recommended!!
Was a great pleasure to travel and explore with Andres, making this trip a pleasant and relaxing journey
It was a really great day visiting Copacabana and Isla Del Sol. Our Tour Guide “ANDRES” a very enthusiastic man who made our journey more memorable. We highly recommend Bolivia Hop Bus if your visit the city of La Paz and wanted to explore outside the city. They will provide you with great recommendations from food to all things to do around Bolivia. Thank you for having Us…
Ivan is a great tour guide. The places we visited were amazing
Good experience! Emmerson is so kind and helpful
Amazing experience with our guide Ivan, had so much fun and the tour was all on time as promised, was able to get to know Copacabana and connect with people from other countries that were in the tour (I went solo). Definitely recommended! Thanks for the great time!
Fabulous experience, Emerson was a great guide, very interesting and good value for money!
Tour was brilliant, very well organised and our guide Emerson was so organised and very helpful from the start to finish
I had a great day! The trip is very good! It is a relative long drive but the bus was good. I am 2 meters and had enough space. There was enough time in Copacabana. And on the Isle. Thanks Andres !! You where a great guide.
My journey from Copacabana to La Paz was made especially pleasant because of the excellent support and hospitality of Emerson and Roxj. Emerson was an absolutely awesome guide. From the very beginning of the journey, he was warm, cordial, approachable, and extremely helpful. He shared useful information about the places we passed through and explained things in a clear and interesting manner. His knowledge, patience, and friendly personality made the journey much more than simply a transfer from one destination to another. He ensured that I was comfortable and well informed throughout the trip, and his professional yet friendly approach was truly appreciated. Roxj was equally wonderful and deserves a special mention. What impressed me most was her genuine willingness to help. After the journey, she personally accompanied me and dropped me safely at my hotel. She even helped lift and carry my bag, despite it being something she certainly did not have to do. Such small gestures speak volumes about a person's warmth, kindness, and commitment to making a traveller feel comfortable and cared for. Both Emerson and Roxj demonstrated excellent hospitality and went beyond what one would normally expect from guides. Their cordial behaviour, helpful nature, professionalism, and personal attention made my experience memorable. A heartfelt thank you to both of them. Hats off to Emerson and Roxj! Their service reflects the kind of warmth and hospitality that makes travelling truly enjoyable. I would be very happy to recommend them to other travellers visiting Bolivia.
Our guide Abner was fantastic and everything was as planned and described.
Everything was top notch. I was picked up on time and crossing the border was easy. Emerson and Xavier were fantastic hosts! I definitely recommend this trip. 5 stars!!
The most fantastic bus journey. The booking was made easy and simple through wild rover hostel Cusco. The several tour guides that we had were superb but in particular Emerson who went above and beyond in helping us and giving us information and discounts for Bolivia. The bus itself was unbelievable comfy and very spacious. The tours were amazing it’s an amazing way of getting around.
The experience was amazing. They gave us all the support and information about the place and culture. The guide Emerson was very patient, attentive and careful. I really enjoyed and recommend.
We did the trip with Emerson, he was very helpful, spoke good English and answered all our questions
The tours are perfectly organised. Transfers are really well managed. I really recommend Peru Hop for any tour or transfer you need :) I went from La Paz to Copacabana/Isla del sol and then to Cuzco and everything was really good: nice people and organization
its a very organized tour and entertaining too.
Amdres was a really good guide!
Very good & helpful experience. Made the border crossing easy & organised a good afternoon exploring the lake before heading to La Paz. Emerson was a great guide around the island.
Emerson was very informative about the Isla de Sol!
Did the 4 hour tour, but would recommend staying the night if you have time, as the boat ride is an hour each way. Our guide Ivan from BoliviaHop was excellent.
Nice tour, well organized and the guide Andres was really kind and helpful. O recommend this tour
We had a great trip to Copacabana ! Bolivia hop was very flexible and responsive. We were able to stay the night in Copacabana and take the bus back the next day, which I recommend doing. Ivan, our guide, was amazing. He made everything run smoothly, even with the bad weather conditions we had on the second day. I recommend you ask for him if you can.
The tour was fantastic! Andrea (our guide) was amazing and really kind. He explained us everything and help us for any need. Really appreciated!
Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and professional throughout the entire trip. He explained the history, culture, and landscapes so well, but what I appreciated most was how attentive they were to everyone in the group.
It was a truly adventure day, after crossing the border with Perù we had a nice lunch in Copacabana and then moving to Isla del Sol, with a nice hike and amazine viewpoints. We then headed to La Paz passing by Tiquina with the boat, a trip full of adrenaline. I really want to thank from the bottom of my hear our guide Xavier, with his energy and his passion he really brought this experience to another level! Super suggested.
Great for solo traveler's the journey is long but the guide Emerson was great at answering questions and making the journey interesting
It was a very well-organised tour, and everything ran smoothly. However, I felt there was quite a bit of downtime in Copacabana, where there isn't much to see or do. One option was to hike the Stations of the Cross, but that may not be suitable for many people, especially since the hike on Isla del Sol is already quite challenging due to the altitude. I think the itinerary could be improved by using that extra time to visit Moon Island (Isla de la Luna) or another nearby island instead of spending so long waiting in Copacabana. That would make the overall experience feel more worthwhile and allow visitors to see more of Lake Titicaca.
Andres is a great guide. Always present, giving helpful instructions, helping people, specially with an Italian gentelman that couldn't speak much English or Spanish but Andres used a translator to make sure this gentelman have the right information. Bus drive was great from La Paz to Copacabana. Such a great adventure crossing athe Strait of Tiquina with small boats amd the bus on flat floating platforms. The amazing views from the Andes Mountain range and the Titikaka lake. So beautiful colors and landscapes,I Loved this unique experience.
The guide Ivan was very attentive since the day before with important notices and tips, and especially during the tour, since when he picked us up at Airbnb and always guiding us during the trip on the bus and during the tours. Places are amazing and it's really worth the walk through the island of the Sun, but it's important to be aware of the acclimatization, because the altitude is also high. We were left at the door of Airbnb on the way back and for sure the attention, organization and kindness of the guide and his colleagues made all the difference. I recommend it for sure
I highly recommend the agency. All went very well and the guide Ivan was very professional and amazing energy.
I really enjoyed the trip! It was a long but nice day. We got to see a lot and our tourguide (Ivan) was really helpfull with everything.
I went on this one day trip to Copacabana and Isla del Sol on 29 March on my own. I booked at get your guide and the tour was with Bolivia hop. It was such an amazing day. Everything was very well organised and our tour guide Andres was very enthusiastic and he knew a lot. He was very organized and had great control over the group and made sure the whole day ran smoothly. He was very attentive and checked if we needed anything at all times. Also great that you could reserve lunch for arrival in Copacabana. Only thing that could be improved is that sometimes there was an overflow of information both in announcements in the bus and WhatsApp group. While I understand that it’s important to keep people informed, sometimes it was a lot of information so that participants were not able to see the wood for the trees. Maybe try dosing this a bit so people don’t miss the real important information in between all the other messages. But I really enjoyed and it was very well organized!! Had a great day. :-)
This tour was amazing, everyone was very kind and things were explained. Only advice: stay on Isla del Sol for a night! I wish I did after stepping foot on it. :)
It's so beautiful - pictures don't do it justice. Ivan, our líder, was kind, informative and took care of us every step of the way. Thank you!
