We booked a number of trips in South America in June 2024 and all them delivered as promised.
Well, they handled our tour poorly. Although we all paid extra money for the English-speaking driver, due to the size of our group, some people were in the car with the English-speaking driver and some with Spanish-speaking driver. The part of the group driving with English driver/guide were constantly talking and getting information during the long driving. The 2 people that had to go with Spanish speaking guid/driver in another car only heard Spanish (until the stops when they joined the rest from our group)

Reply from Howlanders
My experience was great with the Howlanders tour. Starting by the facility of scheduling the tour online, with quick confirmations via Email. The price on the internet was very similar to the ones I found in San Pedro. But the best part was the bolivian guides, who were amazing people, and made our trip much easier. Sometimes the accommodations were very simple, but it was expected and did not spoil the tour.
We traveled with Eduardo of Skyline Traveler agency, it was really amazing thanks to him ! He was very kind and friendly with us ! He gave us many informations about different places we visited. He drove very safely and smoothly, let us all the time we needed to enjoy places, and he prepared very good and various meals every day for us ! The tour was very well organised, we definitly recommend it ! We saw incredible landscapes and had a wonderfull time !
This was the most physically challenging trip of my life (out of 150 countries) and I knew it was winter and research showed temperatures would be around 0’C at night and 10’C during the day. It was in fact around -20’C with the wind and I was not dressed for this. I was freezing all day, all night (no heat or hot water in any accommodation), and the meals served were plain pasta with mayonnaise and the odd steamed vegetables. It was not enough to sustain me and I lost about 10lbs in 4 days. On the last day we were taken to a market which sold local goods like knit mittens, ponchos, hats, etc - which would have been useful on the first day. The officials at the Bolivian border show up when they want - we were waiting in the cold in line for usually 30-60minutes both ways in and out of the country. There are minimal bathrooms available on long drives. It was nice to see the sights, but my much younger group was more focused on getting instagrammable selfies which took extra time that I would have liked exploring further. The guide was great.
Great trip, good guide and safe driver. I definitely would take this trip again.
Fantastic experience! The sights, the crew, and the food and beverages were all top notch. Would recommend
Great experience and the guides were really nice.
Great tour and very prefessional guide. I will go again!
The lagoon kayaking was GREAT !!! The 2 guides were fabulous........It was a wonderfull experience.....I'm rating this as a 4 instead of 5 because it seems the info on the Howlander's website is not totally in synch with the Ice Guides website and what we actually experienced......It didn't create a bad experience, it was just that the info Howlander's showed was not totally accurate.
All the staff was amazing and we got everything that we paid 🫶🏼.
Thanks Howlanders, you’re the best.
Our 3 days tour of Salar de Uyuni was exactly as described. We were picked up on time at the airport, our guide Ivan was great. All itinerary was kept to the letter. The sights were marvelous. The hotels included in the package were very good. We certainly recommend this company and its employees.
The gourmet trip was very well organised and Eve I initially canceled the vip reservation
Premier I got the refund right away I think this is a very trusting organisation I would recomend it highly
I had a very enjoyable experience on the Grand Golden Circle tour. The driver Eugene was excellent. The only negative was the guide Gary, who was a bit of a smart Alec. He appeared to have a disagreement with the driver towards the end of the tour and exchanged unpleasant words.
Easy websiter to navigate; looks like a good trip; a little expensive.
Was amazing! Worth the money to trek on the glaciers which you wouldn’t be able to do otherwise. The drinks at the end were an amazing addition
The platform wss easy to use and response after booking was quick!
Excellent communication. Very quick responses to email and chat coms.
