• 5A great experience - rate 4.5

  4.5 because the driver and guide, they team in bolivia were brilliant - the team managing this tour behind the scenes are the ones who bring the rating down. On the first night we were picked up on time in a car taken to the bus station and the service was brilliant. The driver made sure we had all the right instructions. After a night bus we arrived at the next destination was able to shower and get started for the tour where we met Ivan our driver and tour guide he was brilliant, calm, funny and informative. I really appreciated him. The views on this trip, on the road, on the salts, on the mountains were the most incredible and a memory I love! BUT..... The management team let the side down! To start no one contacted me, I spent over $600 on a tour and boone contacted me, I had to write twice and eventually through viator, I got worried it was some scam! Then the jeeps we were in were broken and uncomfortable, the seat belts did not work for us or the driver. The driver was brilliant, but he is not responsible for the tools he drives...unfortunately he had a lot of people complain to him about things, things he is obviously not responsible for, he works for a company who are clearly not investing in safety. I share this to give a real picture, the trip is amazing, food and accommodation are basic as we are on the road in remote locations, the team there do a great job and I do reccomend this trip, but just know it may not be perfect. Thank you Ivan and the team in Bolivia!

• 5Perfect door to door service

  This was an amazing experience from LA Paz to San Pedro de Atacama. It was well planned and stress free door to door service. Everything was well organized. It was nice that upon arrival in Uyuni by sleeper bus that we were able to have access to a private hotel room to rest and shower before starting our first full day. Our guide Julia spoke perfect English and was always eager to answer our questions and accommodate our needs. Julia is an asset to this tour company. Crossing the land border between Bolivia and Chile was a breeze. There was another guide in the Chilean side who dropped us off at the San Pedro De Atacama Bus terminal. I highly recommend this tour to anyone.

• 5Amazing private tour!!

  We are two travelers from Hong Kong, and had an unforgettable trip with Joker Expedition. Our guide Oscar was exceptional - knowledgeable, attentive, and always going the extra mile to show us the best views and share fascinating insights about Bolivia. The most interesting part is about flamingos and you would never learn that many details from any other guide. Our driver Samuel was fantastic as well, incredibly skilled and caring, making every journey safe and comfortable even on challenging roads. We had chocolate, drinks, cookies everywhere during the trip and all settings were perfectly matching with the scene. Altitudes was definitely a problem but as long as you take a good rest (e.g. we had a hot water shower at an altitude of 4600 meters, basically nowhere but a amazing hotel with everything you can imagine), everything should be fine. Thanks to Oscar and Samuel, we enjoyed stunning lagoons, amazing wildlife, and a perfect visit to the Uyuni Salt Flats. We highly recommend Joker Expedition for their professionalism and warm hospitality.

• 5The whole tour was very...

  The whole tour was very well organised from the hotel pick-up and transfer to La Paz Bus Station. Everything just fell into place thereafter. We travelled by 4WD throughout with Luis as guide - he was excellent, very good driver and extremely experienced and knowledgeable. Salar de Uyuni was magnificent and we had plenty of time there. On the way to the first nights accommodation Luis stopped so we could see the Milky Way. The rest of the trip was spent in a spectacular part of the Andes with magnificent scenery everywhere. The tour showed us the best of the Bolivian Andes. Luis helped with the formalities at the Hito Cajon border crossing and was helpful throughout. This is a tour to a very safe but underdeveloped and remote part of Bolivia where roads are rough and accommodation options are few and fairly basic. There were early starts but that is expected. All meals were provided and included. It can get a bit tiring but it's a rewarding part of the world.

  We had such an amazing time on this tour. The salt flats were amazing and we saw so many great things including flamingos. I would really recommend this tour though the food isn’t great so I would suggest bringing your own snacks.

• 4Good experience

  It was a great trip through Uyuni. Some of the most beautiful sights we have ever seen. The tour guides were also terrific and passionate. We were very disappointed with the food and half of the group got food poisoning which ruined the last day. It is also freezing cold so be prepared for that.

La Paz fills a steep canyon on the Altiplano, between roughly 3,200 and 4,000 metres above sea level, with the snowy peak of Illimani standing over its southern edge. Sucre is the constitutional capital, but the government sits here. Plaza Murillo holds the cathedral and the presidential palace, and nearby Calle Jaén keeps colonial houses and small museums.
