Magical experience at Uyuni Salt Flats - Our guide, Cristian, was exceptional. I’d give him 10 stars if I could. He was very knowledgeable, patient, accommodating and creative with the videos and pictures. I highly recommend using his services.

Fantastic day in the Salt Flats - A fantastic experience of Uyuni Salt Flats. Nadia, our guide, was wonderful and she looked after us very well giving us lots of information and taking lots of photos for us. Our driver was also brilliant and we felt completely safe in his driving and navigational skills out on the salt flats. Nothing was too much for either of them and they made sure we were able to stay out later in the salt flats to watch sunset and see the stars. Food and water provided all day long and was lovely. An absolutely brilliant experience!

Perfecto - I was supposed to go on this tour with my girlfriend, but she was unfortunately pulled away for work travel at the last moment. So in the end it was just me on a full day private tour. To be honest I was a little bit nervous being on a completely individual tour, as I thought it could turn out a bit awkward. However that was the furthest thing from what happened! Constancio (driver) and Jeaneth (guide) were so much fun and the tour significantly surpassed my expectations. My favorite parts were the meals to be honest, where we sat out completely alone--just the 3 of us--in random spots in the middle of the salt flats and had lunch (very filling and delicious with many items) and dinner on a full table with wine. Having the dinner time snacks in that atmosphere as the sun was setting and the mirror on the flats got ever better was unforgettable. Not to mention that on the ride home in the car we jammed out to 30-40 min latin hits. If I were to go again I would do another private tour, as it now feels like the only way to do it.

Uyuni Salt Flats with Joker Expedition - 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.

Salt flats with Joker expedition - Everything was amazingly well organized from pick up at the hotel to drop off back, that was smooth and easy. Shower and breakfast before starting the tour. Then Julia and Fernando picked us up to give us the best experience. Nothing was trouble for those 2, including setting up the cuttest lunch table in the middle of the flats and then drink and nibbles for the sunset. In between Julia was well inspired to take funny and great photos to make this day unforgettable. Definitely recommend Joker if you want not trouble throughout the experience

Amazing day! highly recommended! Super Professional - I don’t post much on Tripadvisor but after the experience we lived I felt it was necessary to share our experience to the community. When didn’t have much time to spend in Bolivia but we didn’t to miss the opportunity to visit Salar de Uyuni. We decided to pick up Joker Expedition and we did the perfect choice! Our tour started and ended from La Paz and during whole trip the team were super professional! Jose was our first contact and he was always helpful when we had concern before and during the tour. They picked up at our hotel to reach the bus station. The bus is a long trip (8h) but it is very comfortable! Arrived to Uyuni at 7am, we got access to a room so we could take a nap and a shower before the tour start (10am). Alvaro was our guide and he was outstanding! Very professional, friendly, attentive, helpful and well organized. He knows every part/detail of the Salar so it makes your experience incredible! We also had a chance to taste Bolivian wine 😊 He shared with us a lot of technical and historical information which is a great source of information and he is an amazing photographer! We highly recommend this tour, everything was perfect!

Not worth the price - 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."
