Kimkim matched us with La Paz on Foot in Bolivia. We were well taken care of by La Paz on Foot every step of the way. We spent the first two nights in La Paz, then one in Island of the Sun, then one in Tuni, and then back to La Paz, then one night in Uyuni, and one in Villa Mar, then two nights in San Pedro Atacama. We had our own guide and/or driver who patiently explained much about the Bolivian history, current situation, natural history, and any random questions we had. We were grateful for the opportunity to have visited Bolivia.

Overall, an amazing trip and well worth the extra $$
Milenka our local specialist was very patient with us and organised our trip with next-to-no fuss.
Our highlights were the Uyuni salt flats (almost too early in early Dec) and Macchu Picchu.

The organisation of our trip was exceptional. Tomas met us on the first day to go over our itinerary which gave us peace of mind. All the drivers throughout our trip were on time and courteous. We highly recommend David Quecana. He met us in La Paz and remained with us for the trip to Lake Titicaca and the Island of the Sun. David was knowledgeable, attentive and went out of his way to ensure that we enjoyed our time in his lovely country. Our tour guide from Sucre to Uyuni multi tasked he was our driver plus the guide. Wilfredo thank you for the information provided and safe driving. Ready to answer our questions and again very attentive. Finally to the highlight of our trip, Uyuni Salt Flats. Alvaro Oropeza was fantastic. He and his driver were amazing. Besides driving, the driver cooked and with help from Alvaro set up the lunch and the surprise bubbles and nibbles for the sunset. A wonderful experience. Alvaro thank you so much for making the time in Uyuni and the Eduardo Avaroa National reserve extra special and for helping us create fond memories. A big thank you also for helping us through customs crossing the border into Chile. Kimkim thank you. This is our second trip with you. Your attention to detail was excellent.

Great trip to Bolivia and Chile. We were well looked after and the local guides were very knowledgable. All in all a good job organised by Kimkim

Excellent service, the transfers all happened on time and took the stress out of travelling alone. Great service.

I spent a total of two weeks traveling in Bolivia booked through kimkim and its local partner. Everything was very well organized, all of my guides and drivers were on time and professional. Prior to my arrival a WhatsApp group was set up in case I needed to contact the operator, which was reassuring. This was a pretty ambitious trip with lots of internal flights, many different hotels, and a full program, and everything worked according to plan.

While our trip to Bolivia was short, the choice of hotel accommodation was excellent. The food was amazing. Milenka was always available to help.

We wouldn't have made it in to the country without our great guide, David, who was also really good at interacting with the kids (aged 11). The countryside around Lake Titicaca was stunning. La Paz was an amazing city. Bolivia was the last stop on our visit, we had already been traveling for a month, but David made it exciting and fun. Our drivers were super and always helpful and accommodating. When we come back to Bolivia, I'll definitely use kimkim.

I did the 3 day tour of Uyuni. Milenka was a great travel agent and arranged everything so there was nothing I needed to do but enjoy my trip. Lucio was a great guide. My only suggestion, is to consider booking “luxury” accommodations over basic. The hotels were chilly and only one of the two hotels had hot water…so basic has a different meaning in Bolivia. That said, both were clean, and comfortable aside from being cold! The night bus was surprisingly nice and everyone I interacted with from start to finish was friendly and helpful. It goes without saying that the scenery was spectacular and the wildlife and ecology of Bolivia were breathtaking.

Milenka was excellent to work with. She was very responsive to my many questions while planning the trip and was very flexible and helpful when we had to make a major change a few weeks before embarking on the trip. All of the guides, drivers and planned experiences were absolutely wonderful.

We unfortunately had to change our plans at the last minute due to the protests in La Paz however Malenka was super helpful in changing our plans and giving us options to choose from.
