Visit to the archaeological site of tiwanaku - I liked the museums a lot, but the exterior is still in excavation, there is not much to see. The explanation of the Guide was also a little confusing.

Interesting visit - The guide was very competent and friendly, in spite of his weak English we enjoyed the visit. The lunch was good, in a proper restaurant. The driver was also very skilled in the awful traffic of La Paz and El Alto.

Only go if you are really into knowledgable about this site and its something have to see! - My pick up was on time but due to the rush hour traffic the rest were chaos, and after a hour in the bus I was almost back to where I started. I guide was very monotone and not very engaging, a little more enthusiasm wouldn’t have gone a miss as to be fair there is not a lot to see and I could have got out of it what I wanted in an hour (with no lunch) The food was good and plenty of options but my fried chicken did have a tiny bit of blood in it, fortunately it was spotted before I ate it but everyone else’s co looked ok. Again the drive back was through rush hour and prolonged. Not the tour company’s fault. The drop off was at one place maybe thdd ed pickup should have been too. But that is easy for me to say as the drop off was quite near my hotel,

Guide talked more on Spanish than English. - Parts of the tour was rushed. All of the signature was in Spanish so I would have expect our English guide to explain more but he spent more time explaining everything in Spanish, so by the end of the tour we were left wondering due to lack of information in English.

Good but rushed - Really interesting site and definitely a must do in Bolivia but the pace was too fast and the whole tour felt rushed. Otherwise good.

Unfortunately, not worth it. - We thought it was going to be way better for the price we paid. I believe we could have paid 1/2 the price and gone with a taxi.
