About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 479trishav0 contributionsOne of the best experiences ever!!When originally booking this trip, we were skeptical that one company could seamlessly take care of all the logistics needed to see the wonders of Uyuni. We could have not been more pleasantly surprised!!! Immediately following the booking Joker Expedition contacted us to get the passport information so they could book our round trip flights from La Paz to Uyuni and hotel. We received our complete itinerary shortly thereafter. The trip itself could not have been better organized; from picking us up from our hotel in La Paz and given our boarding passes to the flight, to meeting in Uyuni by our amazing driver, Samuel and Liliana, the best tour guide of our entire vacation. While we were so excited to see the flats themselves, we were blown away by all parts of the tour (the train graveyard, learning about salt refining, the ojos de Uyuni). Liliana explained all sites with expertise and helped us take pictures and videos with professional quality. Our experience was incredible from start to finish and found the company took very good care of us and thought of EVERYTHING. We cannot recommend this enough, it was worth every penny and delivered on a once in a lifetime experience. Special thanks to Samuel and Liliana, they made our trip so special and could not have asked for two better individuals to guide us around Uyuni!!!Written February 9, 2025
- KeelinS60 contributionsSalar tour good and badSuch a beautiful area. Glad we did the tour. Enjoyed the shower after the long bus ride- that was a beautiful hotel. I am not sure we could have done this on our own, especially as well. Miguel Angel was a great guide- very knowledgable and clearly loves the area. Drawbacks: Both lunches were brought along and served at dining areas along the way. I do think the second lunch led to an illness my hubby and I suffered the day after the trip. I also wish we would have shopped around either in la paz or uyuni rather than use trip advisor. There are tons of tours available, not all stay in uyuni after the salt flats. Also Joker Expedition was not our guide. They just got us from la paz to uyuni then we were passed on to Salty Expeditions. All guides and employees were nice.Written February 7, 2025
- rach P0 contributionsA day to remember!This trip was amazing from being picked up at our hotel to the luxury coach to the hotel we could shower at and were given breakfast to the fantastic day at the salt flats which included a lovely lunch and snacks whilst we watched the sunset to the coach home and the last lift to our hotel. Our guide Soledad Lopez and our driver Erik Cruz were knowledgeable and did everything to make the day extra special ! We can highly recommend it.Written February 3, 2025
- rosssb20220 contributionsMemorable Lagoon ExpeditionI recently booked a 3N/2D private tour with Joker. Everything was taken care of from start to finish. Our English-speaking guide Oscar was very knowledgeable and was able to speak about everything from Bolivia's history to its flora and fauna. Joker was also able to secure me a room in the Tayka El Desierto (a must for anyone considering a trip into the national park). Finally, Jose was able to answer all questions that I had beforehand over email. Would highly recommend!Written January 19, 2025

- 423jinw0 contributionsA wonderful tourWe have Evan as our tour guide, he is very professional and kind, took us to a lots interesting places and explain the details. We have sick friend, he arranged her to be back in town smoothly.Written December 5, 2024
- Z7531QQdavidw0 contributionsUyuni is world marvel not to miss.Uyuni is one of the most amazing places I’ve ever been. Epic landscapes, wonderful, wonderful people. You’re about two hours away from the final shootout of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid. You’re two hours away from Potosi, the world‘s most important and oldest silver mine. The salt flats themselves are larger than Lebanon, dotted with islands of ancient coral and blooming cacti. It’s where Star Wars the last Jedi battle scene was filmed, there’s a British and American steam locomotive graveyard to play around in. It’s just supremely incredible and well worth the effort to see.Written November 21, 2024
- 548yuann0 contributionsCanceled...Canceled in the morning...we've been left doing nothing in Uyuni... Try to find another thing to do if you have already done the Salar, like lagoons maybeWritten November 3, 2024
- 752antoniaz0 contributionsEnjoyable tripI did a private tour as I get car sick sometimes. The driver was excellent, ensured I was comfortable and we had a smooth journey. The guide knowledgeable, entertaining and spoke english well. Great team from Joker Expedition. Would recommend themWritten October 31, 2024
- 752antoniaz0 contributionsExcellent teamBooked a private tour as I get car/bus sick. Driver and guide were both excellent. It was a smooth journey, guide was knowledgeable and spoke English well.. Both went out of their way to ensure my comfort. Highly recommend Joker ExpeditionWritten October 31, 2024
- C7635NNrichards0 contributionsUyuni salt flats private tourWe had an excellent trip exploring the salt flats of Uyuni with Joker tours. Our guide Oscar was very knowledgeable, and we had the right balance of time to ourselves vs being accompanied. Highlights for us including the photoshoots on the salt flats, which Oscar was brilliant at taking, picnic lunches on the flats (away from the crowds) and enjoying the sunset with a bottle of wine and snacks, set up by our driver Yver. I would recommend this tour to anyone who is thinking of going to Uyuni but doesn't want to do it as part of a large group.Written October 31, 2024
- davidkW5062BJ0 contributionsAmazing scenery with impeccable customer serviceSeemless from start to end. Joker Expeditions had it all covered, from hotel pickup in La Paz and drop off the next day. Everyone I dealt with were great. Oscar was my guide on the flats, and he was knowledgeable and super friendly. He shared lots of information about the train graveyard and the origins of the lake/Salt Flats like it was second nature. By the end of the day, I felt like I'd known him for ages. The food provided was fresh and delicious. And the views were spectacular. A sight not to be missed. In the eight or so hours I was on the trip, I took 200 photos and videos (some also by Oscar) - which is testament to the special nature of this trip! Thank you Oscar, Coco and the Joker Expedition team.Written October 25, 2024
- joannefI1620FF0 contributionsSuperb, highly recommendOur trip really was a dream come true. I was nervous about booking from Australia but need not have worried, all my queries were answered promptly, everyone we interacted with were sensational and everything was organised to perfection. The service was top notch and our skilled guides knew where to take us to avoid the crowds. The beautiful lunch and sunset drinks were superb and allowed time to sit and soak up the experience (there was even flowers on the table!). Diego our driver who picked us up in La Paz did such a good job getting us to the airport on time as a car accident had closed the main road, he even walked us into the airport to ensure we got to the gate in time. Our guide Oscar was incredibly knowledgable, accomodating and easy company - not to mention a great photographer who captured some treasured memories for us. Christian our driver was very experienced and we always felt very safe. The hotel was beautiful and Janette was delightful and provided exceptional service. Even upon our return to La Paz we had a very lovely driver Jhonny to take us back to our accommodation. Would highly recommend.Written October 21, 2024
- carolrG1634UU0 contributionsAmazing Tour of a LifetimeWe actually did this tour from San Pedro Atacama to Uyuni, and Joker Expeditions was willing to arrange pick up there and transport to the border where we met our team. This was an unbelievable trip! Our guide, Oscar, and our driver, Silvio, were kind, caring and attentive to our every need, sometimes before we even knew what they were! Oscar did everything from helping us navigate the visa process at the border (no easy thing) to pointing out and identifying wildlife, especially the diverse assemblage of birds, to supplying us with snacks and water, to making sure that all activities were safe, suitable and fun. Silvio mas a masterful navigator on tough roads, and sometimes no roads (in the case of the salt flats. I kept thinking of the line from Back to the Future - "where we're going there are no roads!") He also kept the vehicle spotlessly clean, no easy task in that environment. These guys were great in every way, and I can't laud them enough. I must also complement Jose and Joker Expeditions. He was very prompt in responding to my many, many emails and questions, which is a great comfort when you are going with a local tour operator. Everything was as advertised and he clearly made the effort o put us in the most comfortable accommodations available at each stop, with all meals included (and delicious). What we paid for our private tour for 2 in English gave us incredible value for the money, probably since it did not involve multiple levels of middlemen as I am guessing may other tours did. The pick up in Atacama allowed us to have the itinerary we planned and I would HIGHLY recommend this agency, as well as Oscar and Silvio, to anyone considering this kind of trip. You won't regret it and you will see incredible things!Written October 14, 2024
- kehhin0 contributionsOnce in a lifetime experienceWe booked this tour via Jokers Expedition which is then conducted by Salty Desert Adventures. The pre -post support provided by Jokers Expedition was excellent. This covers transfers to/from hotel to bus station n hotel room in Uyuni to shower on arrival/departure from Uyuni town to the Salt Flats. Our tour of the Uyuni Salt Flats was led by Ezequiel. He was a good coordinator n very knowledgeable of the terrain, flora & fauna, animals n birds and tried his best to a large group of 16 tourists spread over 4 vehicles. Our driver Jose is also excellent- very safe n tried with his limited English to highlight certain key features of the terrain. His music selection in the vehicle was upbeat n enjoyable. Key highlights of the trip was the photo taking sessions, surprise wine n snacks stop to see the sun set n getting close to the animals that lived in the flats. Food is kept simple but sufficient. Depending on the package, accommodation ranges from sleeping bags, shared bedroom/bath/toilets or private rooms with en-suite. The package from Jokers Expeditions came with private en-suite rooms. Be prepared for long drives, limited toilets facilities and varying weather between hot to windy chilly conditions. Our guide always ensured we r briefed on this the night before so u can prepare ahead. Overall a once in lifetime experience that one should not missed. We made new friends in the same vehicle we traveled in which is also great.Written October 9, 2024
