  It is impossible to give an unequivocal assessment of this trip. Beautiful views and nature unseen anywhere else in the world are the only advantages of this trip. The rest leaves much to be desired in the execution of this company, which unfortunately I do not recommend. The program was partially carried out omitting many of the described points and nothing in return. Tragic overnight stays. In Europe, pigs sleep in better conditions - especially the second night was a nightmare. Filth and dirt everywhere. An old jeep, running only thanks to the driver's skills. Forcing people to pose for photos, even though they do not want to. What is this - the army or prison at your own expense.Bus from La Paz without dinner and unheated at night. After arriving in Uyuni we got a good breakfast in clean conditions and a good room for 2 hours - that's a plus

  Our tour guide Miguel was brilliant, he was knowledgable but the tour felt really relaxed and the salt flats were absolutely beautiful. Would absolutely recommend this tour to anybody wanting to see the salt flats and get to Chile afterwards, the border process was pretty straight forward and we got there in good time

• Joker really fumbled the bag

  I’m not really sure how to review this trip. First off, Joker Expeditions was not the operator of the tour. They arranged transport from La Paz to Uyuni, and let me use a hotel room to shower and change, which was actually very nice. Then though, they drove me to another tour office and said here, this is your tour- no real explanation or anything. Andes Salt I believe was the agency. The most glaring error by Joker, was on the final day. The tour was listed as arranging transport to San Pedro de Atacama and help with border crossing. When we got to the border crossing the driver asked me “so, how are you getting to San Pedro?” I was truly stunned, like I have no idea- it was supposed to be taken care of by Joker, I thought. The tour I was with had absolutely no idea what I was talking about and apparently they said I was supposed to arrange a bus myself from the border into town. Andes Salt wasn’t able to take me there as they couldnt cross the border. This makes sense I suppose but clearly there was absolutely zero communication between the 2 companies about what happens then. All attempts to call Joker were met with no response. I ended up having to pay a random person $20 USD to take me into town- which he definitely did not have to do. Any border crossing can be chaotic but this was really next level, and truly not okay to leave someone stranded on the edge of the desert. I’m lucky I brought cash or I would have been S.O.L. Andes Salt- tour was quite nice. We saw a lot of cool things and everything seemed to flow well. Accommodations for the 2 nights were really basic- think cold nights with no electricity, but that’s pretty normal for the area. My tour guide was clearly very intelligent and explained things pretty well and even joined us in the evening to relax and have fun. They deserve more than this review- but this was my whole experience Overall a confusing experience, I would certainly not use Joker again, but Andes Salt- go for it.

• Amazing tour, but 2-3x the price when booking on Viator

  The tour was INCREDIBLE!! Cannot recommend Uyuni and the Salt Flats enough. I was so glad I did the 4-day tour, because the magic happens beyond the Salt Flats. Rolling mountains, cute animals (flamingos, pecunias, llamas!), lagoons, sunsets, and seeing the entire milky way. The problem was that the tour wasn't actually run by Joker Expedition. They arranged the bus and the hotel I got to rest in for three hours when I arrived, but after that I was handed off to another tour company. I found out that I paid 2-3x more than everyone else on my tour. Lesson learned - don't book anything if you're outside the country. Wait until you arrive!! You'll get the same experience for much less money.

  The incredible scenes of salt flat, lagoons of various colors, colorful mountains and the very high altitudes we had traveled through from 3800 meters to 5000 meters, being able to flamingos close up.
