I felt at home. Highly recommended, they know the country very well.

I'm from Costa Rica, I like to travel. I've been to 5 continents and 31 countries. Sometimes I backpack, ride a motorcycle, 4x4, train, bus, plane, etc. This is my second time in Bolivia and I'm definitely very satisfied with Uyuni tours' services, I felt excellent, accompanied at all times, as close as a phone call and always at each stop, someone from the agency was waiting for me.

I hired this agency to visit the Uyuni Salt Flats and it was one of the best decisions of my trip. The service was excellent from the beginning, with a very professional and attentive team. The tour to the salt flats was spectacular, with guides who shared a lot of interesting information. I 100% recommend this agency to explore Uyuni and Bolivia.
