We did the 3D, 2N tour from spda to uyuni.
We had a really good experience with a great knowledgable Spanish speaking guide named Elias that was a mechanic and a chef, he provided great vegetarian friendly food and took us to hidden corners that no other tourist were at.
We felt special and he had a really personal approach with our whole group. He helped us take cool photos at the salt flats and repaired our flat tire in about 10mins and wasted no time, he stopped and asked at every photo worthy spot if we wanted to get out and take a photo or walk around. The vehicle was a really sturdy Toyota Land Cruiser. His driving was super safe and we never felt in danger, Elias made last Minuit decisions to change the route due to weather conditions and explained the reasons for his decision and was really safe. All the seatbelts worked well and he was always checking the mechanics of the vehicle.
The accommodation was definitely a step above the rest of the other companies with a private room on the second night with ensuite bathroom, hot shower and candles beside the bed and towels. Dinner was accompanied with a bottle of wine and the stars were out to then take night shots if you are into that.
The salt flats were something I never thought I would ever experience and was quite overwhelming. Our guide knew just where to go and what to do and that made the experience relaxing and I left feeling very content knowing we got everything we possibly could out of the experience.
When we arrived I Uyuni we spoke to the office and the helped us with further travel plans in Bolivia
Thanks for an unforgettable experience!
Good luck Elias for future tours!
Totally recommend!!

Overall we had a wonderful time, the only negative thing we have to mention is that Estrella del Sur (the company where we booked the tour in San Pedro) seems to have charged us too much. Must people seem to have paid 120.000 pesos, he charged us 130.000, so keep that on mind when booking.
But we had a very good trip with the Bolivian company which is actually called Tambo Loma. Our driver Pedro was very friendly and explained a lot of interesting things about the region and people. We felt safe at every moment.
The food was great, especially for us eating vegan it was a relief to find a company that offered tasty non-animal food !
The accommodations were far better than we expected, on both stops the hotels were very clean and warm, so we did not need our sleeping bags.
Highly recommend !

Overall, the tour was great. I booked a tour to Uyuni from San Pedro de Atacama. The other 5 people who went on tour with me were super nice so that added a bonus to the experience. Our guide, Ronald, was great. Ronald was always taking care of us and told us a little bit of each place we went. Also, he made sure to carry dressings such as ketchup and mayonnaise for our food and he always provided water and coca-cola for us. Ronald is an experience driver and tour guide in Bolivia with more than 10 years of experience. He went far above than we expected taking the best videos and photos we could have think of. I felt completely safe with him driving us around.
The food was healthy and delicious during the trip. The second day we even had wine during dinner!
The only downsize of my trip was that when staying in the hotel from the agency (Tambo Loma) during the second night, they offered a private ensuite bedroom for each of us but didn't gave us the keys to the beds. I'm not sure if they didn't know that giving you a key of your bedroom is a must. Either way, when I asked for my bedroom's key, they gave me the wrong one so I was locked outside my bedroom and it was awful because I had all my belongings inside. For that reason, I asked for help and a new key but they didn't have one. I had to wait for several hours without an answer and when it was getting late, I decided to ask again. They didn't have an answer and they wouldn't solve my problem since the person in charge was not currently in the hotel. That person was not able to get to the hotel neither so I had no place to sleep, I didn't have my belongings and no apparent solution. The only way we think of was to force our way into the room, and they were okay with that but they didn't offer help so a friend broke the door handle and we could enter to retrieve my things. Then, the current hotel employee gave me another room but, in this one, the bathroom didn't have access to water. So again, I had to move. Thankfully, one of my fellow travellers offered to share her bedroom and double bed with me. The following day we checked out at 5:30 am because we had to go to Incahuasi Island to see the sunrise. That way, no one apologized to me or even cared if I have had a good sleep.

We had an incredible experience doing the 4 days/ 3 nights Salar de Uyuni tour thanks to Estrella del Sur and our driver Crispin. From the beginning on, it felt right to book the tour with this agency as they explained the tour to us in detail. We always felt save, enjoyed the stays in the hotels which are really nice and saw incredible landscapes. The food was basic but good. We highly recommend to choose the agency estrella del sur and ask for Crispin as driver :-)

We booked our 4 days / 3 nights Uyuni tour from San Pedro to Uyuni with Expediciones Estrella Del Sur (over the Howlanders website). The tour was very well organised, the program was full of great activities and everything was on time. The food was also great and they took into consideration my vegetarian preferences. I would highly recommend this tour.

First of all, the places you visit on the tour are absolutely incredible - one of my favourite views in all of LatAm, definitely worth going. I took the 3 day tour from San Pedro to Uyuni and was super happy with Estrella, and especially with our tour guide Geovanny: he spoke good English, didn't ever rush us, tried to show us to places where there weren't many people (e.g. one of the lunches we did as picnic), and also our car had no issues on the way (vs. some other groups with punctures etc.). If I return to Uyuni, I would definitely try to travel with Geovanny again.

Terrible experience with this company. The food was horrible and the staff demanded I pay extra upon checking in for the tour. Not transparent and I wouldn’t recommend anyone going with this company. They have poor attitudes and lacked empathy when we tried to address the issues after the tour.
Also everyone’s clothes was wet because the driver didn’t cover the clothes.

We did the 3D/2N circuit with Estrella Del Sur in January. We had a great time and we had a lot of fun.
We were very lucky to see the mirror effect because it rained the previous days of our trip.
The road is long until the lagunas but it is really worth it to admire the beautiful mountains, the desert, the lagunas, the volcanoes....
Giovanni our driver and guide was great and took the best pictures.
I really recommend this agency.

This was a typically great tour. This company was great and the jeep drivers and guides were funny (none of them speak English) so we had some friends helping translate on the tour for us. Meals that are included are basic but good salad, pasta, fruit and coke or water. We had Juan as our guide and he was a responsible driver and friendly, he also helped us take some great photos and videos on the salt flats. The salt hotel you stay at is lovely but does not have WiFi even thou they tell you they do. Overall I would recommend this company.
