Private Day Trip Salar de Uyuni

Rigtig dygtig manager, guide og driver. Min kæreste blev syg med højdesyge, og guiden hjalp os på en klinik. Herefter fik han det bedre og vi kunne gennemføre vores tur!

Our one day trip to the Salar de Uyuni was an incredible experience, thanks to Joker Expedition! Our journey started the night before in LaPaz where our driver Johnny met us at the hotel, drove us to the bus station and personally escorted us to the ticket counter to ensure we got on the right bus. (We do not speak Spanish) He also provided us with food and bottled water while we waited for our bus to depart. The bus itself was quite comfortable with reclining seats, blankets, plenty of storage for our backpacks and another meal/beverage provided for the overnight trip. We arrived in Uyuni at 7:00 AM where Cristian our driver was waiting to take us to the hotel for a delicious breakfast and some time to rest before the tour started. Jeanette was our guide for the day and she was great!! Very knowledgeable about the area, patient, and able to answer our questions - her English was good and she took some fun photos! Cristian was always smiling, very polite and helpful with setting up the lunch, etc. We ended the day viewing a breathtaking sunset with snacks and Bolivian wine! Upon returning to Uyuni we were able to use one of the hotel rooms to shower and change clothes. Cristian once again drove us to the bus station for our overnight return to La Paz. and we were offered another snack lunch on the bus. Many thanks to our superb guide Jeanette and driver Cristian for making our day so enjoyable and memorable! Would definitely recommend Joker Expedition to anyone thinking about doing this trip, even if just for a day.

Sunset tour was beautiful, food was good. Guide was friendly. Salt flats, of course, awe-inspiring. But paying for a private tour doesn't get you any customization--get a cheap tour instead for the same experience and meet some people. This was a full-day tour, and I'd only recommend the sunset portion. For the price, we should have: 1) Had literally any contact with the tour guides/agency prior to them showing up at our hotel (to which they should have showed up on time, not late) 2) Been ready to go from our hotel instead of wasting an hour driving into town and back to pick up our pre-prepared lunch for the day 3) Been able to tailor our tour at all (e.g. visit an additional nature-focused site instead of taking "silly pictures" at tourist-heavy spots). Despite point 2, we still had so much extra time that we were taken back to our hotel for a "siesta."
