Awesome 3 days tour in Bolivia with Oscar - Still not over the incredible three-day trip with Oscar as our guide and Samuel as our driver. We were immersed in breathtaking nature for three full days — from vast salt flats and colorful lagoons to geysers, desert landscapes, and starry skies. Oscar is a fountain of knowledge — about the country, its history, and its unique wildlife and plants. Samuel got us safely from A to B — even when there were no roads for the last two days, just endless sand. I travel a lot, but this one made my top three… if you can, try to get Oscar as your guide!

Best tour of a 6 week South America journey - Just wrapped up the 3-day private Uyuni tour with Joker Expedition and honestly, it blew us away. I don’t usually write reviews, but this one deserves it. Everything ran like clockwork from the second we landed. Our guide Alfredo was incredibly knowledgeable—not in a tour-guide-scripted way, but genuinely passionate about the landscapes, history, and culture. Our driver Samuel was a total pro too, navigating some crazy terrain without breaking a sweat. We always felt safe and well looked after. The route was incredible—salt flats, flamingos, volcanoes, geysers, all of it. What made it next-level was how Joker handled the logistics. Beautiful private lunch in the middle of the salt flats, sunset wine, great food the whole way, and really nice hotels. Every part of it felt considered. But here’s where they really went above and beyond: we ran into some border-crossing issues (our mistake), and they completely reorganized our schedule, transport, food, and even helped rebook flights—without charging anything extra. They had every reason to say “good luck” but instead took care of it all, no questions asked. If you don’t speak Spanish, that kind of backup is worth everything. We met other travelers who did cheaper shared tours and heard some horror stories—missed pickups, bad food, rough accommodations. Ours was the complete opposite. Yes, it’s more expensive than the group tours—but if you want peace of mind, comfort, and a trip that actually feels like a vacation, Joker is 100% worth it. Would book with them again in a heartbeat.

- The Absolute Best Uyuni Tour – Worth Every Penny We just finished the 3-day private Uyuni Salt Flats and Colored Lagoons tour with Joker Expedition, and it was honestly the best travel experience we’ve ever had. From start to finish, everything was seamless and thoughtfully executed. Our guide Alfredo was incredibly knowledgeable—he has a university background and gave us deep insights into the landscapes, wildlife, Bolivian history, and culture. He also had great medical knowledge and helped with my minor altitude sickness with professionalism and care - including using the well stocked medical kit, including an oxygen tank. Our driver Samuel navigated some seriously difficult terrain with total calm and skill. We always felt safe, comfortable, and well cared for. The itinerary was amazing—sunrise geysers, flamingo-filled lagoons, volcanoes, and of course the magical salt flats. The food was delicious, the car new, spacious and very clean, the accommodation luxurious, and everything ran exactly on time. We were treated to a private salt flat lunch, sunset with local wine, and stunning views every step of the way. Joker even helped us customize the itinerary so we could be dropped at the Chilean border and transferred to Calama Airport. When we ran into an issue crossing the border (our fault), they didn’t miss a beat—reorganizing our accommodation, transport, meals, and even booking our onward flights to La Paz when we had technical issues. And they did all of this at no extra charge. As non-Spanish speakers, this support was invaluable. We met other travelers who did cheaper shared tours and had rough experiences—poor food, cramped schedules, and missed transfers. Ours couldn’t have been more different. Yes, it’s a bit pricier—but it’s 100% worth it for the quality, comfort, safety, and peace of mind you get with Joker, including the professional support, before, during and after your tour. Can’t recommend this company enough. Book with Joker—you won’t regret it!

Wonderful tour with a amazing team - We had a wonderful trip with Joker Expedition to Salar de Uyuni. Our Tour Guide Oscar gave us a lot of knowledge along the whole tour. He is very interested in his job so he had very special and interseting information along the whole tour. The places we visited were magnificent (Salt lake, Vulcanos, Animals,...) Thanks again for the amazing experience :)

One of the highlights of our 3 month South American trip - Joker tours was amazing! With so many options for providers we had lots of questions. They answered them all timely and with patience. Our guide, Oscar was so knowledgeable and kept us informed of what was coming up along the way. He was also a great photographer at the salt flats. Our driver, Dionicio, was extremely safe and patient as well. We had a fantastic trip seeing all of the highlights. Our only regret was that we could have used a fourth day to explore some of the sights a little longer. Bolivian landscape is stunning! We would 100% recommend Joker to anyone. We did the superior category. Accommodation was amazing with heat and hot water. Food was catered by Joker, tasty and plentiful!

Incredible and unique - We just returned from a three day tour of the Salt Flats and colored lagoons of Eduardo Avaroa National Park organized by Jose at Joker and it was incredible. Due to the reduced number of tourists, Joker teamed up with another company, Salty Desert, so we would have a full car. Our driver was great, the organization and communication from Jose was perfect, and the experience was unforgettable. The hotel in Uyuni that is also run by Jose, Atipax Boutique Hotel, was clean and comfortable and the rooms were beautiful. The accommodation in the National Park on day 2 are pretty rough, but to be expected when you’re in the middle of nowhere. The salt flats are out of this world and an absolute must see. The trip to the colored lagoons was remarkable as well, but be aware that it is a lot of driving… like 10-12 hours each day.
