"Bad behavior and rough driving of driver."
We booked tickets from La Paz to Uyuni, and the trip started well — comfortable seats, smooth driving, and on-time departure. The first driver was careful, and everything seemed fine until we stopped in Oruro for over 30 minutes without explanation. Then we overheard an argument between two drivers, one of whom (the man with white hair) was rude and aggressive. After that, the second driver took over for the Oruro–Uyuni leg, and the experience became terrible. He was laughing loudly while passengers were trying to sleep and drove very recklessly, often braking suddenly and nearly colliding with other buses. When we finally arrived in Uyuni, he refused to open the luggage compartment even after several requests. He was rude, unhelpful, and unprofessional throughout. Overall, a bad experience with this driver despite the good start of the journey.
"Not as good as advertised"
There was basically no legroom once the person in front reclined their seat, making the long journey extremely uncomfortable. The toilet on board was only for urination, yet there were no scheduled toilet stops during the entire 10-hour trip. For a service that’s recommended by Lonely Planet, this was quite disappointing and far below expectations.
"I am incredibly dissapointed with this company and would not use or recommend then ever again TODO TURISMO"
I booked a ticket from La Paz to Uyuni with a confirmed 9:00 PM departure from outside the bus station (Todo Turismo office). However, on the same day, I received a message saying that the bus would actually depart at 7:00 PM, and I needed to be at their office earlier. When I arrived an hour before departure to check in, the staff member at the front desk was clearly drunk — his breath reeked of alcohol, and he was unable to find my name or perform the check-in properly. Thankfully, another employee later helped me with my luggage tags and explained the trip details. Around 7:00 PM, the drunk man began arguing loudly with another employee, creating a very uncomfortable scene. I later noticed that the same person he argued with was the bus driver wearing sunglasses. We boarded the bus at around 8:30 PM, and although the onboard service (food, hot drinks, and Wi-Fi) was good, we were forced to wait over 30 minutes before departing because, according to the drunk staff member, they were waiting for a late passenger who never showed up. The bus finally departed at 9:15 PM, meaning we waited more than two hours due to complete disorganization. This was absolutely the worst travel experience I’ve ever had — unprofessional, chaotic, and unsafe.
"Left us stranded"
We took the overnight bus from La Paz to Uyuni, but about 8 km outside the town, the bus stopped, and the staff said it couldn’t go any further. There was no clear explanation—we were simply told that our tour companies would pick us up. In the end, we had to walk 2 hours into town, carrying our own bags. They only sent one young staff member, who had been working there for just five days and didn’t speak English, to guide everyone. The bus itself was comfortable, but the communication and assistance were terrible. The least they could have done was help passengers with their luggage or provide proper guidance.
"Several items stolen from us on board the bus."
We experienced theft from our hand luggage while we were sleeping on the Todo Turismo bus. During the night, the bus staff picked up locals along the way, likely because the bus was not full. When we woke up, we discovered that several of our belongings were missing, amounting to a significant financial loss. It was clear that security and passenger safety are not a priority for this company. This experience left us feeling unsafe and completely disappointed. We cannot recommend traveling with Todo Turismo — the lack of control and accountability makes it an unreliable and unsafe choice for long-distance travel in Bolivia.
"Not worth the price for tourist"
Among all the long-distance buses in Bolivia, this one might look more polished and offers some service, but it’s far from being high-end. The seats are thick and comfortable, yet the leg rest design is terrible. I booked a cama seat, but it definitely wasn’t one. The price is unreasonably high—I paid almost $60, which is a huge markup for what you actually get. I’ve taken other local and tourist buses for around $15, and while they didn’t look as fancy, they were more comfortable in some ways, especially the semi-cama leg rests. The meals (dinner and breakfast) were small and very basic, so it’s better to bring your own snacks or fruit for the journey. Also, be aware that in La Paz, the office is upstairs, and you’ll need to carry your luggage yourself—there’s no assistance provided. Overall, it’s an overpriced service, and comfort definitely doesn’t match the cost.
"Don’t eat the food"
Unfortunately, my boyfriend and I (along with a few other passengers) got serious food poisoning from the meal served on the bus, which completely ruined our Uyuni trip. We had chosen Todo Turismo because it was advertised as a premium and reliable service, but it turned out to be the opposite. For the price we paid, we expected safety, quality, and professionalism, yet the food made us terribly sick and unfit to enjoy our travels. Honestly, we would have been much better off taking a local bus instead of trusting this so-called premium service.
