A great view of some pretty special landmarks, it's a decent amount of time travelling on the bus and boat but I personally think it's all part of the tour - seeing the countryside and everything in-between was one of my favourite parts of the tour. Albert was great and answered all the questions I had.
I also found the boat and bus comfortable enough to catch up on some sleep on the way back. Note that these may not be private however I didn't find this to be an issue at all.

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.

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

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 the only 2 of us taking the tour and they did everything they could to make this an amazing trip. Our guide was amazing and he did everything to accommodate us in every way. Even when that meant helping us with hiring a taxi to go atop the mountain to take in the beautiful sight of the Copacabana harbor! Highly recommended!

Sun Island is a way more beautiful than I expected it to be. A real jewel. You feel like in the middle of the Adriatic sea in Croatia well, I am a Croatian!, not in the middle of the Titicaca lake tons of flowers, colors, Mediterranean-type flora, feels totally different than Altiplano vistas you get used to around La Paz. The trip by bus from La Paz was great the entrance to Copacabana spectacular, and a lunch in local restaurant with a view of the lake and a taste of sopa chairo and a trout just excellent. Our guide was excellent Mr. Rivera, and as there were only two of us with him - we had actually a private tour. Highly recommended trip.
