“Best guides ever ! Really friendly and helpful! It must be hard for them with all the driving on the pampa and they must really have a lack of sleep. One time a car had a Problem and they stayed up most night to fix it! Thums up for them they really are the best and did an amazing job!The rest was really perfectly organised, from the pick up in la paz to the really comfortable night bus to uyuni.

“I’m very glad I did this tour but I sort of wish I would have done it with another company. The pros; friendly guide and driver, okay vehicle, food and accommodation. The accommodation on day two was a cozy hut shared between three people. No hot water in the shower which was a bit annoying after spending the whole day on the salt flats and all you want is a shower! The last accommodation is a dorm for 6 people, also cozy. None of the rooms had any outlets to charge phones etc. food was okay during the tour, very basic but filling. I hade ordered vegan food but got…”

“Christian was an excellent guide he had 4 different nationalities to deal with and a lot of driving. Anything you can imagine standing in this vast landscape will be surpassed no photos or videos do it justice. I regret I only had time for the day trip and not the extra days for the lakes to get more at one with nature.”

“Carlos was knowledgeable, personable, fun & completely accommodating throughout the entire day in Uyuni. Scenery is simply stunning, magical & unbelievable. Combining the beauty of the location & Carlos as our guide, this was one of our main highlights of our trip. Highly recommend, also recommend booking when Carlos is leading the tour. Without a doubt a solid 10 out of 10 experience.”

“The overall condition of the vehicle was not good, and even though it was raining, the windshield wipers were not working. 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”

“Unprofessional service, think twice before booking (especially if Chile is your end stop) While the salt flats and the other stops on the way were beautiful, we had an unfortunate experience with the company where we ended up not receiving the full tour that we paid for, paying extra for them to take us to another border as the border was closed (after a lot of arguing with them, they wanted to leave us at the boarder without any pickup originally) and more incidents that highlighted the unprofessionalism of the Joker Expedition operators. This could happen to you as well, especially if you are planning to end in Chile.”
