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.

Excellent day in the flats - After searching all the options to visit Uyuni salt flats, chose Joker Expeditions and had a wonderful experience with them. I did an overnight bus to/from La Paz and the logistics were handled perfectly. Timely pickup from the hotel, bus transfers etc. Spent a beautiful day touring the flats and Mauricio (the guide) and Coco (the driver) ensured I was taken care of in every way. Highly recommend this company.
Some tips/info:
- If you travel solo and they don’t have enough travelers, you’ll have to pay for 2. (worth it). Get 2 bus tickets each way so you don’t have to have a neighbor
-When you arrive, you’ll get a room at their hotel which was surprisingly nice. Shower, charge etc bc after the tour, you won’t have time to do it
-The cacti island is quite difficult to climb if the altitude is an issue- also not very accessible so take that into consideration if you have mobility issues
-The overnight bus is about as good as you can expect. It has usb chargers and the seats almost fully recline. But the footrest doesn’t get horizontal so it is a bit odd to have your legs from knee down hanging off (Titicaca was the company). It does have a “bathroom” but it’s for #1 only and wasn’t the best- I intentionally didn’t drink a lot of water on way back to avoid using it.
-Dinner isn’t included but you can buy dinner at the hotel office while you wait for your transfer to the bus. Decent meal runs about 65b
Overall, a great option if you have limited time and don’t want to deal with the logistics yourself.

Highly Recommended - We had a wonderful time with our 1 Day Tour to Uyuni Salt Flat!
We were picked up at our hotel in La Paz just before 8PM to drop us off at the La Paz Bus Terminal. He (Joni) assisted us from making sure we have our tickets and where we should by certain time for the bus ride.
At exactly 9PM our bus left for UYUNI. It was a very comfortable 9 hour ride.
We arrived in Uyuni just before 7am, and there’s already someone waiting for us. He (Christian) dropped us off at the hotel where we had breakfast and advised us that we will be picked up at 10:30AM for our tour!
The Hotel concierge are very accommodating and very nice!
At exactly 10:30AM, our English Speaking guide had arrived (Janet). Janet is very knowledgeable about certain/specific things about Uyuni, we really appreciate her guiding us the whole tour. She was very patient with us, especially we love taking photos!
In this tour, lunch was included and we were surprised by how Christian and Janet set up the whole experience. Food was great too! 👍🏼♥️
In between, they drove us to Isla Incahuasi (Cacti Island 😊)
At the end of the day - they drove us to the area where the sky reflects on the water, which is what the Salar de Uyuni is known for - largest mirror in the world! We did have a lot of time to just enjoy and take in the moment….
Here, they once again set up another snacks/tea/wine for a toast 🥂 with the Sunset in the background!
Janet is also very creative with her Shots!
We will never forget this experience, and I definitely recommend this tour to anyone! We had a great time and there’s definitely no flaws TBH :)
At the end of the tour, they brought us back to the hotel where we had a chance to freshen up before our ride back to La Paz! Everything was in time and I couldn’t have asked for a better Tour!
Thanks Joker and to your team!
Much ♥️
