Just wrapped up the 3-day private Uyuni tour with Joker Expedition and honestly, it blew us away. I don’t usually write reviews, but this one deserves it.
Everything ran like clockwork from the second we landed. Our guide Alfredo was incredibly knowledgeable—not in a tour-guide-scripted way, but genuinely passionate about the landscapes, history, and culture. Our driver Samuel was a total pro too, navigating some crazy terrain without breaking a sweat. We always felt safe and well looked after.
The route was incredible—salt flats, flamingos, volcanoes, geysers, all of it. What made it next-level was how Joker handled the logistics. Beautiful private lunch in the middle of the salt flats, sunset wine, great food the whole way, and really nice hotels. Every part of it felt considered.
But here’s where they really went above and beyond: we ran into some border-crossing issues (our mistake), and they completely reorganized our schedule, transport, food, and even helped rebook flights—without charging anything extra. They had every reason to say “good luck” but instead took care of it all, no questions asked. If you don’t speak Spanish, that kind of backup is worth everything.
We met other travelers who did cheaper shared tours and heard some horror stories—missed pickups, bad food, rough accommodations. Ours was the complete opposite.
Yes, it’s more expensive than the group tours—but if you want peace of mind, comfort, and a trip that actually feels like a vacation, Joker is 100% worth it.
Would book with them again in a heartbeat.

The Absolute Best Uyuni Tour – Worth Every Penny
We just finished the 3-day private Uyuni Salt Flats and Colored Lagoons tour with Joker Expedition, and it was honestly the best travel experience we’ve ever had.
From start to finish, everything was seamless and thoughtfully executed. Our guide Alfredo was incredibly knowledgeable—he has a university background and gave us deep insights into the landscapes, wildlife, Bolivian history, and culture. He also had great medical knowledge and helped with my minor altitude sickness with professionalism and care - including using the well stocked medical kit, including an oxygen tank. Our driver Samuel navigated some seriously difficult terrain with total calm and skill. We always felt safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
The itinerary was amazing—sunrise geysers, flamingo-filled lagoons, volcanoes, and of course the magical salt flats. The food was delicious, the car new, spacious and very clean, the accommodation luxurious, and everything ran exactly on time. We were treated to a private salt flat lunch, sunset with local wine, and stunning views every step of the way.
Joker even helped us customize the itinerary so we could be dropped at the Chilean border and transferred to Calama Airport. When we ran into an issue crossing the border (our fault), they didn’t miss a beat—reorganizing our accommodation, transport, meals, and even booking our onward flights to La Paz when we had technical issues. And they did all of this at no extra charge. As non-Spanish speakers, this support was invaluable.
We met other travelers who did cheaper shared tours and had rough experiences—poor food, cramped schedules, and missed transfers. Ours couldn’t have been more different. Yes, it’s a bit pricier—but it’s 100% worth it for the quality, comfort, safety, and peace of mind you get with Joker, including the professional support, before, during and after your tour.
Can’t recommend this company enough. Book with Joker—you won’t regret it!
We have Evan as our tour guide, he is very professional and kind, took us to a lots interesting places and explain the details. We have sick friend, he arranged her to be back in town smoothly.
