A good introduction to the tradition and culture, but a bit too touristy - Did this half day tour to the floating islands and it was quite an introduction tot he place and culture. Although a bit touristy, the tour company and Ruben, our guide were fantastic. Highly recommend this if you are short on time.

Wonderful Half Day Tour of Lake Titicaca - Ruben was an excellent guide -friendly, informative and passionate about the culture. The visit to the Uros floating ilands was fascinating. Everything was well timed and very enjouable. Highly recommend this tour four a quick but meaningful lake Titicaca Experience!

Must see on Lake Titicaca - I’ve never seen anything like this! Local people living in houses built on man-made islands made of reeds on the lake. Amazing!

Loved it!! - Visited the floating islands of Uros with them and got a very detailed information about the lie of the locals and istory. The islands are very close to Puno and wa perfect for a half day visit.

excellent experience! - I traveled to Puno and make the tour on Titicaca lake , their service and expirience was excellent. I highly recommend the agency!

UROS - The Lake Titicaca Uros Floating Islands Half-Day Tour is an unforgettable experience! The shimmering waters of the highest navigable lake in the world are absolutely breathtaking. Visiting the unique floating islands made of totora reeds was a highlight, and learning about the Uro-Aymara families who live there was fascinating. The friendly locals shared their crafts and stories, making the visit even more special. This tour is a must for anyone visiting Puno—highly recommended!

TITICACA - Visiting Lake Titicaca was an extraordinary adventure. Our Guide was exceptional, providing attentive service and sharing his extensive knowledge about the local culture. He tried hard to get us to appreciate every detail and recommended us to participate in the traditional festivities, which further enriched our experience. Definitely a fate that leaves an indelible mark.

Los Uros recommend it! - An amazing place to meet alone or with friends, top quality service, gave me excellent care! I'll be back soon.

* Floating Island Tour: Educational, but a tourist trap - Our guide did a good job of explaining information about the lake and about the floating island construction, but other than that it was a very touristy experience: an opportunity to be sold more stuff. I’d say the bulk of the focus of the activity is to bring tourists to the island to sell crafts and extra boat rides on the grass boats.

Very disappointing. Feel ripped off - They include the ride from your hotel to the port which is nice. The problems start when they drop you off at the end of the pier and assign you to a guide without telling you anything and you’re supposed to just know to follow him. The guide doesn’t introduce himself or let you in on any info. When you get to the boat, you’re asked to embark and wait for the departure. The boat eventually starts moving and our guide started speaking to us in a very low voice where we couldn’t comprehend much he was saying. He didn’t give us much information about the tour we were doing or the history behind the uros population or their floating islands. To note that a few people were in front of us vaping and drinking beers inside the bus with total disregard for others, the guide clearly saw them and didn’t say a word. There were kids on board… After the very very brief introduction by the guide, you arrive at an island and you’re sat in a circle. Women from the island start singing in a very unenthusiastic way as if they were being forced to. After a while you’re assigned to a woman on the island that brings you to her house to buy stuff. It’s a very weird feeling because you feel obligated to do so. The women barely speak spanish, let alone english so it’s very hard to decline to buy the things she’s selling. Also the prices are absolutely ridiculous. After this very unpleasant part, there’s the boat tour experience in their traditional boat the “mercedes benz” which costs 15 soles pp and is a total rip off as the boat is pushed by another motor boat. This short trip to the neighbouring island is about 15 minutes long. If you decline to do the “optional” boat tour as my gf and I kindly did, and as did another couple of backpackers, you’re disfigured by the guide and the inhabitants of the island and they try to haggle with you for a cheaper price. This “traditional” boat trip brings you to another island that is only made of restaurants and shops so again another opportunity for them to sell you stuff. The tour is also supposed to be bilingual (spanish/english) but the guide only knows his text so it’s impossible to have a conversation with him or to ask him intricate questions about the uros or the islands. Honestly it was an awful experience. Zero history, zero insights by the guide, and an all around guilt trip if you’re not emptying your pockets on this VERY touristic tour. Extremely glad we didn’t book a longer/more expensive trip with them. I never write bad reviews online but felt compelled to do so in this particular instance. I won’t add the guide’s name out of respect for him but I’m guessing any of their tours should ressemble this.
