Highest of Recommendations! Don't Miss Out. - I picked this tour because it worked perfectly with the time I had available, and the reviews I read for Joker Expedition, Bolivia were glowing. I could not be happier with the experience!! I purchased two tickets for myself and a friend - we had an outstanding guide, Jeaneth Menchaca and drive who spoiled and doted on the two of us the entire day. We saw all the usual sights in the tour, the train graveyard; a salt mill and learned about how salt is harvested, processed, and used (even to build furnature, or walls, etc); Isla Incanhuasi (Cactus); Nice 'secluded lunch' on the salt flats - so memorable; taking all the fun photos with dinos, etc; sharing a bottle of wine and anacks while watching the sun set - we were fortunate to be able to drive to an area that had standing water for more amazing photos of reflections - boots were provided for walking in the walter. We felt no rush from our guide - she went out of her way to make sure we didn't feel hurried. Pacing was very good. She is an excellent ambassador of her country - she was a perfect match for us. Highly highly recommend! So worth it. My only recommendation would be to do a four day tour to see and experience more. This experience was a teaser as there is so much more to Bolivia to see and experience.

Uyuni Salt Flats is a must - Oscar was a fun, energetic and knowledgeable guide. His passion for the Uyuni salt flats showed and he made our trip memorable with lots of great photos. Chris was a great driver and clearly knew his way around the flats. Thank you both for a fantastic memory. The day was planned well and we got the most out of our 1 day tour

Wonderful experience!!! - Very well organized tour. Our guide Maurizio was very informative and helpful. Our driver constanzo was also very helpful and kind. They both worked very hard to make our trip special. Our lunch was so delicious! The spot for the evening drinks was amazing. Such a beautiful sunset. We recommend this tour to anyone who only has a day in Uyuni. Bus from/to La Paz were comfortable too.

The gift that kept on giving - This is without a doubt the most special tour myself friends and I have ever been on, everything from start to finish exceeded our expectations. Everything I am about to list below was included in the tour price. We were first picked up from our hotel in La Paz at 8:00pm by private cars and taken to the bus terminal where we boarded the overnight coach. The coach seats were very comfortable and reclined to almost flat, we were also given a small meal on the bus before getting some sleep. The bus arrived in Uyuni at roughly 7:30am where we were greeted by our Joker tour guide (Oscar) and drivers (Ever and Christian) and taken to a local hotel in the private cars we would be spending the day touring in. We were then given two rooms at the hotel to shower, refresh and relax in prior to being served a nice buffet breakfast. Oscar then picked us up at about 10:30am and the tour commenced. The tour was beyond incredible and was perfectly scheduled, Oscar gave us in depth information on every place and area we visited (train yard, salt processing plant, island, etc.) and spent lots of time taking amazing photos and videos of us once we got to the salt flats. We were treated with lunch in the middle of the flats which was set up beautifully by the Joker team and then spent the last part of the day watching the sunset with wine and a cheese board. Following the tour we were taken back to the hotel to freshen up and then to bus terminal for our return overnight trip to La Paz on the same coach, we were back in La Paz by 6:30am the following day. I don’t typically write reviews this long winded but this one is an exception due to how special it is, we cannot thank Oscar, Ever and Christian enough for how far above and beyond they went to ensure we had the best day possible with the most fun. If you are staying in La Paz and are considering a trip to the salt flats I cannot recommend this tour enough, you definitely won’t regret it. Thanks again Joker team!

We had an amazing time... - We had an amazing time with Joker Expeditions. Oscar was so informative and was very patient while taking great photos for us. The lunch prepared by our driver Coco was delicious and Oscar and Coco found the perfect spot for a glass of wine to watch the sunset. 10/10 experience, would highly recommend!

An awesome day at the Salt Flats. - Joker Expedition was an incredible tour company if you decide to go to the Uyuni Salt Flats. The entire trip was seamless. The pick up from our hotel was on time. The Bus ride to Uyuni was fairly comfortable. The staff from the company waited for us at the bus station and took us to a hotel where we had breakfast and a quick nap. Eusebio was our guide and Cristial was our driver. They were both awesome. They were friendly and professional. The vehicle was clean and comfortable. Thay were patient with us, provided us details information and took us to various site. The lunch in the middle of the Salt Flats was amazing. Eusebio took good care of us and Cristial was a very good driver. It totally worth it to pay a little extra for a private tour. We saw many people have to wait at the bus terminal for several hours before being pick up by their tour guide. I believe that is the last thing you want to do after an eight hours overnight bus ride. I highly recommend Joker Expedition if you decide to check out Bolivia.

Brilliant tour - An excellent trip, very well organised with professional guides etc. The overnight bus transfers were very comfortable. The day in Uyunyi was full with plenty to see and do. The picnic lunch on the salt flats, with no other vehicles in sight, was magic and tasty. Janeth, our guide, spoke excellent English, was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Our driver, Christian was great, setting out the lunch and evening aperitif efficiently. Overall a great day. Highly recommended and very good value.

Pickup and return comms could be better. Great guide. Amazing day - We had a great guide and an amazing day. However pickup and return communications could have been better. We were picked up from out hotel at the set time and taken to the counter of a bus company in a large noisy bus terminal. The driver told us he would meet us there at 9:15AM in two days. We then had to wait around for another 1hr 45min before we could board. We would rather have waited at the hotel. The overnight bus ride was bumpy and noisy. thankfully I had earplugs and an eye mask so was able to get some sleep. We were collected at the bust terminal and taken by car to a lovely hotel for breakfast but there was another 3 hour wait before our tour would begin. Our Guide and driver arrived 30min earliere than expected which was a big relief. From there the day was amazing. They came with a large Lexus 4WD which had all the creature comforts. They took us to see some local sights. We did not get taken to any unnecessary souvenir straps that so many tours seem to take you to. Lunch on the salt flats was in an amazing isolated bay of an island away from other tour groups and we had plenty of time to take photos and play with the effects that can only be done on such a vast white canvas. Our guide had a wealth of knowledge of indigenous tradition and legend. Sunset was incredible. The bus ride back to to La Paz was much the same as the ride there. We arrived early (6AM) and since our driver would not be picking us up for another three hours, and did not respond to WhatsApp we decided to Uber back to the hotel (not expensive) instead.
