Trans Titicaca La Paz Puno recent customer reviews

Bus was ok but just a lack of information throughout the trip. Ferry crossing and border crossings should have a bit more of information. This could be put on the app or ticket.

Bus was way too small and cramped for such a long journey. I’m not that tall and when the person in front reclined their seat it was hitting my knees. No wifi and charging ports weren’t working.

They put me into another bus, where I didn't have a seat of my own. I had to sit on the back of the bus on a window piece. Very disappointing.
