I booked this tour in September 2025, expecting a group tour of the island, and learning about the history of the Inca’s through a guide. What we got instead was a self-guided Bolivia Hop tour. If you’re looking to do this, I would recommend booking directly through Bolivia Hop and paying $39 (at the time of writing this review). We were also provided accomodation through this tour company, and they booked us accomodation at the very top of the island (which was incredibly hard for my 65 year old mother to get to) which cost $29 a night for two people. The itinerary they also provided me was wrong, with wrong information and timings. For example, they told us we could catch a ferry to the northern part of the island and then hike back and it would take three hours. However, online research and speaking to others this seemed to be wrong and there was no ferry. Instead, the hike is three hours each way and you need to catch the ferry by 3pm that day, making it nearly impossible with the altitude unless you are quite active. I do feel this advertisement is misleading, and would definitely not advise to book this through Bamba travel or Bookmundi.
