Fantastic trip to Bolivia It was a really busy but completely rewarding experience. We got a real flavour of the whole country, with its diverse landscapes, welcoming people and ancient culture. Our guide Julia was superb. Her knowledge of the history, diverse peoples, land and nature really enriched the experience and her care in ensuring we weren't floored by our time at altitude helped greatly. On some days we were often lucky enough to be the only visitors to some sites which added to the amazing atmosphere. I'd definitely recommend visiting now before it gets too busy in the coming years.
My husband and I are both grateful for Xema's handling of a big group on this tour. It was a challenging one and stressful to handle all the bookings, from our flights to Arequipa and back to Lima, plus the local transport (buses and trains). It was such an amazing experience Peru with the careful planning of ExpatExplore and the tour director. Another experience, different from all the other tours we joined as we used only 1 bus everyday for the tour. A different set up, I should say. Adapt, adjust and just be glad that we are all safe.
Our tour through Bolivia went perfectly. Our tour operator's customer service team was always attentive to our needs, which eased our nerves quite a bit. And the tour itself was fantastic. A small group, with a very knowledgeable and friendly guides (I forget the names, sadly. Everyone was hospitable and friendly which made our stay very enjoyable. We were lucky to visit during the rain season and experience a giant mirror beneath our feet, which was the icing on the cake. Highly recommended!!
