We did the private luxury tour for 2.5 days and 2 nights. Everything was meticulously planned and taken care of from start to finish. We were with Sylvio (driver) and Omar (English speaking guide). They were very hospitable and attentive.
Day 1- was Uyuni salt flats. They picked us from the airport and gave us a tour of train cemetery, and then we headed to the biggest cactus island and salt flats. They arranged a 3 course lunch in the middle of the salt flats! Even though it was freezing, we enjoyed a hot meal. Then we saw beautiful sunset and took a few pictures of the reflection. The night stay was at a 4 star hotel fully made of salt!!
Day2- The next day we headed to the tallest geyser, red lagoon, beautiful river where we saw flamingos, alpacas and Bolivian country side. It was extremely windy that day. But, even then we enjoyed a hot meal (inside our car). We stayed at a boutique hotel Atipax, which was like staying at home.
A few things to note- though everything is planned very well, you should be prepared to rough out a little. It gets extremely cold and windy sometimes. Also, you have to drive a lot to see nature in its prime. So be prepared. Carry a few essentials.
