    The tours were interesting, although we could not see live and direct the work of the miners. As a Bolivian I was surprised by the situation and conditions of the mimas (very precarious) gives the impression that there is no interest of the national administration but even when the guide told us the current age of life of the miners... well in matters of experience from the point of view of tourist is very interesting, you live and direct highly recommended. Better if you take the one involving the adventure of descent through the galleries.

    Visited the mine with Johnny as a guide. Was interesting to be the reality how the miners should work hard for low pay

    Die Tour für 14:00 Uhr haben wir erst einen Tag zuvor gebucht und es hat alles geklappt. Zur Sicherheit haben wir am Morgen nochmals über die Seite von viator Kontakt mit dem Veranstalter aufgenommen, da auf der Bestätigung das falsche Hotel aufgelistet war. Überpünktlich hat uns Jonny (sehr freundlicher und lustiger Guide) im Hotel abgeholt. Nachdem wir uns eingekleidet hatten gings mit dem Bus zum Mienenmarkt und danach mit dem Bus weiter zur Miene wo die Führung stattgefunden hatte. Da Jonny selbst mal dort arbeitete wusste er sehr viel und konnte alle unsere Fragen beantworten. Achtung aber, es kann einem von der Höhe und der Anstrengung doch etwas schwiendlig werden. Man sollte sich vorher etwas stärken oder anklimatisieren (Fehler von uns).

    I don't know if for the schedule, but the entrances to the sites mentioned in the tour, were not fulfilled, only a tour was given through the entrance yards of some places, and the entrance to the tower of the company was paid by me (I think it was included), of the guide Sonia, I have nothing to say, very friendly and explains extensively during the tour

    We got to the meeting point at 850am for a 9am start. The guide did not show up until 940am and it seemed like this person was not the normal guide, just someone who spoke English. Do not take this tour.
