100% recommended - This was one the best tours I did so far in Peru. It is very relaxed and surprising meeting local communities. You also get the chance to buy handmade textile and other handcrafted things on both islands for a very reasonable price. The objects made at Uros are playful and colourful and the textile at Taquile is very fine, professional and of a high technical quality. You better bring your effectivo to this trip. You also get to see the 12th best view rated by National Geographic. The boat trip was nice. The part of the lake you see from Puno is just a little hint of the lake that lies behind it. It is as if you are crossing the sea. The lunch was very good, fresh and organic. They also have a good vegetarian option. Samuel is a very nice and professional guide, he took good care of the group and answered all our questions. He has a good relationship with the locals. This trip is a great opportunity to meet other people. I definitely recommend this trip.

Private tour of Uros and Taquille island - We stayed at one of the floating islands at Uros. ( please be prepared for some really cold night and dress in layers) at 6 am temp was at 22 deg F. Hugo from Inca lake picked us up sharp by 7:15 am and took some pictures for us and helped us with our luggage. He took us to Uros family and showed us the different living aspects from housing to textiles to their way of life. Then we boarded the typical uros boat. Then we headed to Taquille. A steep climb up to the island of Taquille with some excellent views and lunch was amazing as well. He was kind personable and made easy to work with. Due to flight timings we arranged a private tour to accommodate to our timings. They also arranged for our taxi ride from the port to the airport. Smooth and excellent experience with Hugo and Inca lake. Thanks for a memorable day on lake Titicaca.

Recommend tour when in Puno - Easy to arrange and the organizers are very friendly and good with communication. The tour guide was very informative about the itinerary, locations and about the history. The lunch included on the tour was very delicious.

Taquile and any others. - Taquile Island is spectacular, the visit to the Uros can be much better (culturally, identity and respectfully). The handling of the tour was fine, but I don't know felt particular. They talk about speedboat, but it's not. Cash must be brought in.

Uros/Taquile boat tour - mass tourism - This is the standard tourist boat trip with 30 or so other people to visit a floating island and then go to Taquile. It's very touristy. The guide flips from Spanish to English. The microphone on our boat wasn't working properly so every third syllable was lost. The Uros part felt part performance/part zoo - but I guess it's the one way for the traditions to survive. I wish i had booked it through my hotel, since I am sure the experience would have been exactly the same but it would have been half the price. Don't feel the need to secure your seat with Viator. There are dozens of boats doing this trip every day.
