3 Days 2 Nights Uyuni Salt Flats by Bus from La Paz

Normally I don't leave a review so quickly but still felt compelled to give others a better picture on this tour. The views are beautiful that's not what it's about. But about the tour itself.. how terrible! Where you get thumped in a group with 40 other people, 1 guide who doesn’t even wait for her to say something. You're not kept informed, you're not told. Communication is so bad and disorderly, I've never experienced this. We were only allowed to take 1 small bag on day 2, this was not told us. The guide rolled her eyes when I asked. It was really ridiculous. Suddenly we're going to 5,000 meters? And were not allowed to bring our bags so did not think about extra warm clothing at all. (Since it was not so cold the day before so have not thought of that). No swimwear for the hot springs, out of the rush I even forgot my toiletry bag. No one informs you so you can pack your bag prepared. On the second day they also realized that this was really not possible and we got another guide so we continued with 12 men. After some words with this guide, he did try a bit harder. But he didn't have much understanding either. Would recommend this tour because of the beautiful views, but you get that with every tour here. This tour itself is a really big fat NO GO!! Really a waste of so much money, would again really book it somewhere else. (We booked it through GetYourGuide). Cheaper, because everyone goes to the same place anyway and you are not suddenly treated differently here. Guides are not the friendliest, driver doesn't speak a word of English (but a hardworking man who can't help it either). Gets dry rice with vegetables as food.... really not good food. On the last day we all had super much stomachache and my mother is still sick after 2 days. Could go on like this. The second night at 5,000 meters, not a wink of sleep from the cold. Super many people were not feeling well and the guides just shrug if you asked for help with altitude sickness. Anyway, exhale in breath. Can't change anything now. But hopefully someone will read this who can make another choice. But would really not recommend this tour this way. Maybe we are spoiled because we just came from Peru and everything there is perfectly arranged... but we really thought it was a waste of our experience. Views one of the most beautiful I have ever seen, but the experience was just really not good. In the end we went away for 2 days, no shower. When we arrive at the Atipax hotel, we think a nice shower. May we have a little shower with some kind of small staff? Then we have to wait from 16:00 to 21:00 until our night bus. Where dinner is no longer inclusive in the tour.. which was also not indicated anywhere. They should also not call the tour 5 days but 2.5 days. First it is of course in the night from La Paz to Uyuni. Then day you have a full day after that, second day also, and then the 3rd day it is a morning and then 7 hours in a long drive back. The bottom line: communication is key. Too bad about our experience. Luckily we have the pictures of all the beautiful views that make it a bit straighter!

We recently completed a 4-day tour with JOKER EXPEDITIONS, and overall, they met our expectations with a well-organized and seamless experience. Day 1 included a guided city tour of La Paz, which was a great introduction to the city's culture and history. The guide was informative, and we enjoyed exploring the highlights. Days 2-4 took us through the breathtaking Uyuni Salt Flats, stunning lagoons, and the National Park, covering all the must-see sights. While the itinerary itself was fantastic, what truly made this trip exceptional was our guide, Julia. She and her driver went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience—whether it was finding the perfect scenic vantages, helping us capture creative and unforgettable photos, or sharing insightful knowledge about the region. Julia’s enthusiasm and expertise turned an already amazing trip into something truly special. If you're booking with JOKER EXPEDITIONS, I highly recommend requesting Julia as your guide. She made all the difference in making this a memorable adventure. I would absolutely recommend Joker Expeditions to anyone visiting Bolivia.

Best experience ever!! Also best guide (Liroy) and best driver (Demetrio)!! We had a great day and 10000% recommended! The lunch was very tasty and the organization was top!
