Beautiful sights - great tour guide. - Our tour guide Fernando was very knowledgeable, and we enjoyed the tour, the sights, and the restaurant very much. Copacobana is full of shopping opportunities.
We where surprised at the amount of stair climbing we had to do at the isla del sol. Not sure if I knew about this activity if I would have done it. The altitude and all the climbing up the hill in steep stairs was quite a challenge. So much, that I could not fully take in the beauty of the isla del sol because I had to catch my breath all the time.

Sun Island in Copacabana great experience - It was a great experience!
Our guide was very good and patient with us, gave a lot os details.
Sailing at Titicaca Lake was wonderful!
And the lunch was amazing!!!
Just the travel to Copacabana is a little inconfotable because its far away from La Paz

Worth the effort of visiting - It is a must to visit Lake Titikaka and Isla del Sol, but it is important to know that it is a somewhat tiring trip to do in a single day, as it takes around 3 hours by bus to Copacabana and another 1h30 by boat to the island. In other words, you will be back in La Paz after 10pm. Anyway, it's all really beautiful. Bring a snack or fruit, as there are not many options open to buy something on the way back. It deserves a visit.

At least two days at this location. - A place full of islands and Incas ruins (badly kept) to visit and I just made a day (a few hours) trip from La Paz to Copacabana.
Our private bilingual guide, Alvaro Monrroy was fantastic.
Pity.
Could have spent a night on the Island of the Sun or Moon.
A few hours are not enough.
It's a shame to see the fight that the tribes or villages are on the Island of the Sun. There are three. A tribe does not allow to pass from the south to the center and from the center to the north. Only the Inca ruins of the South can be visited.
Freedom without wisdom is confusion and petty or stupid beings.

Visa experience spoiled trip - Make sure you have Visa documentation in order to make this day trip. My friend did not and was not allowed across the border and continue the tour. I was able to continue. The guide I had was fabulous and the experience was great on the tour, but, only one of us got that experience.

Good tour throughout - Good Tour. However traffic out from La Paz is chaotic and hence make the time in Copabana and the Sun Island very limit. Making it a rush tour. The tour itself is very informative and our guide, Fernando, is very attentive, informative and we enjoyed our time with him sharing his knowledge of Bolivia with us. Looking back we should have stay for an extra day to explore.

We were robbed in Copacabana, a simple tip to avoid it. - Third time in Copacabana, we couldn't be so stupid. very important Salespeople or anyone can always come and start a chat. We left the tarp and a backpack with a cell phone, money, cards BEHIND us and the one who was giving us a talk. When we realized it, it was obviously late. The advice is, ALWAYS BELONGINGS in front of our eyes, and we even chat with Lula.

They stood us up - We waited at the pick up location at the time specified in our confirmation email. Half an hour after this time we tried to contact the contact number provided but they never responded. We ended up waiting an hour before giving up.
The wasted morning meant we were never able to visit Copacabana as all other companies had left by this time.

Totally not worth it. To far away for a day trip. - Not sure from which company we booked, but the trip from La Paz to copacabana and sun island is just to long. You Will spend at least 10 hours in the bus/boat for at most one hour on sun island and a very quick lunch in copacabana. If you want to go see it, stay in copacabana or sun island overnight.
