The guide could not speak English at all, which caused communication problems. Considering the price, the tour did not offer good value for money. I would recommend joining a daytime tour instead, as it allows you to see”

Our driver met us at the end, we drove for another 45ish mins and had a delicious lunch they had brought. We met a textile weaver, got to take a bracelet home with me, and saw a waterfall. An incredible experience well worth the money. A bit of advice - if you get car sick, bring Gravol with you. The roads…”

“Brian was a great guide, answering our many questions and going above and beyond to ensure we had the best time (he even stopped on the way back to Uyuni in the evening to help us get great photos of the stars). We stopped at the train cemetery and learnt about the salt making process in a village outside the salt flats - not essential but great extras. The biggest highlight was of course the salt flats - we had a lovely lunch together on the salt flats, visited the salt maze and monuments and ended with some wine at sunset. Cannot recommend enough!”

10.Trip to Uyuni Salt Flats with Wine at Sunset

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 4 reviews · 2 days · from $260

Travel overnight from La Paz to Uyuni, then spend the day at the Salar de Uyuni with an English or Spanish guide and a group of up to six. Visit the Train Cemetery, Colchani, salt attractions, Incahuasi Island, and the Dakar Monument before sunset wine and perspective photos on the flats.

“Excelente actividad. Vale la pena contratarla, con mi familia disfrutamos mucho, todo en orden con la comida, los guías son espectaculares y todo estuvo muy bien planeado, inolvidable el atardecer. Tomar en cuenta que el bus no es privado es el que tomas en la terminal terrestre, la agencia que hace el tour es una agencia local diferente a la que dice en esta aplicación. Contraté el tour 4 meses atrás y a pesar de que me dijeron que sería bus cama, compraron los boletos un día antes y solo obtuvimos semi cama en primer piso. Sin embargo, recomiendo mucho este tour a pesar de estos pequeños detalles.”
