Awesome guide. Julia was very knowledgeable and personable. She gave us an unforgettable experience that we will always treasure. The tour overall was incredible. We covered a lot of ground. Our pictures are amazing. The lunch was delicious and the setting was once in a lifetime. Highly recommend this!

Prior to booking this tour I saw a lot of negative reviews about the cost/value for money, which made me a little apprehensive to proceed. From start to finish it was absolutely flawless! They were waiting for us at the airport and then took us to have a buffet breakfast before starting the tour at there hotel in a lovely Lexus Jeep. We then started our tour after breakfast and no words, sentences or paragraphs can describe how incredibly special the salt flats are! Lucy & Daniel really went that extra mile to make our experience so memorable. If you want a more personalised, private experience with your partner, this is the tour for you. The private lunch in the middle of the salt flats, and the evening snacks/nibbles with wine at sunset was unforgettable. You don’t get this on the other group tours. They even paid for our taxi to the offices of our overnight bus company at the end of the tour. £150 per person was great value for money! Couples out there, do not hesitate to book this tour. You won’t be disappointed!

This is an absolutely fantastic trip, from start to finish breath taking scenery, a magical experience to see nature in this way. But …. what makes it’s a memory we will never forget are the photo skills of Liroy, he’s self taught himself the different settings on iPhones and androids cameras, coupled with knowing the best settings and poses, the pictures he took for us will bring back to life the memories of our trip forever. Book Liroy !

It was the most incredible day ever, like being taken to another world entirely. Had the best tour guide, Mauricio and driver Luis. So knowledgeable and explained so much to us. My son and I had the best time ever!! A MUST DO in Bolivia!

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.

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."

Special thanks once again to my driver and guide, Koko and Israel! Every detail was planned to perfection for one unforgettable day on the Salar! The beauty and vastness of this amazing place must be seen to be believed. My personalized private tour took me to the best spots, Israel took the best photos, and even the weather cooperated for the perfect experience. From the lunch we had out in the middle of nowhere, to the hike surrounded by cactus, or the gorgeous sunset with the snacks and wine, I will remember the adventure forever. Thanks again Israel, Koko, and Joker!

This place is very interesting and beautiful. We had a private tour, the guide and the driver were great. The guide I had, his name is Israel, a young a friendly man. He helped me with all the creative photo shots.

We absolutely loved our private day trip Salar de Uyuni tour. Our tour guide, Israel, was great and very knowledgeable, and ensured that we saw as much as possible and had a great day. He spoke excellent English. We had a great driver as well both our guide and driver made us feel safe during the entire day. The tour included picking us up from the airport that morning, as well as dropping us off at our hotel at night. We were able to see many cool things, and take many cool pictures, based on our experience, we would recommend this to others who only have one day to spend in Salar de Uyuni.

Excellent 8-hour private tour to Salar de Uyuni. The driver, Christian, not only very professional as a guide and driver, but very friendly. The experience of having lunch in the middle of the salt flat was sensational and then witnessing the sunset with a glass of wine. All on time and very well organized. The unique landscapes and experience. Recommended
