One of the best experiences
It was a very pleasant experience; getting to know the culture and the guide Roly's explanation complemented the teaching. They were very kind and, above all, attentive to everything we needed. This experience is highly recommended, as is doing it with this company.

Warm, caring and unforgettable service in Peru
I booked a tour with Titicaca Travel Peru and had a wonderful experience from beginning to end. The team was friendly, helpful, and truly caring. Even though we speak different languages, I always felt welcome and looked after. The guides shared so much about Peru's nature and culture, and the trip became one of the best memories of my life. Everything was well organized, and I felt safe and comfortable throughout. After I returned home to Japan, the team even wrote to me with such kind words. That personal touch really touched my heart. I highly recommend Titicaca Travel Peru to anyone visiting Puno and Lake Titicaca. Thank you for everything. I hope to come back to Peru someday! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Well Worth It
Went on the afternoon slot which was perfect, not so cold with warm sunshine. Roly our guide was excellent, very informative, kind and helpful. More a living museum and definitely worth the experience for 3 hours and a relatively inexpensive trip while in Puno.
Response from the operator: Dear traveler, Thank you very much for sharing your experience with us. We are delighted to know that you enjoyed the afternoon tour and that our team helped make your visit memorable. We truly appreciate your kind feedback and hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you again on another adventure in the future. Kind regards. Juan Carlos😊.

Uros tour with Titicaca Travel
Very interesting and well organized tour to the floating islands of Uros with our guide Roly. We were a small group and visited one island with four families who showed us how they build the islands and live. The second stop allowed us for beautiful sunset views too.
Response from the operator: Dear customer, Thank you very much for your kind words and for sharing your experience with us. We are very happy to know that you enjoyed the tour to the floating islands of Uros and the beautiful sunset views. It is wonderful to hear that our guide Roly and the local families made your visit special and informative. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again on another adventure around Lake Titicaca. Best regards, Juan Carlos

Half Day Tour Floating Islands of Uros Puno: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puno.
How much does Half Day Tour Floating Islands of Uros Puno cost?
+
Prices start at $10 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Puno usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Half Day Tour Floating Islands of Uros Puno take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Puno is not rushed.
Is Half Day Tour Floating Islands of Uros Puno worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 26 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Puno, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Half Day Tour Floating Islands of Uros Puno?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Half Day Tour Floating Islands of Uros Puno suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Half Day Tour Floating Islands of Uros Puno?
+
Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Puno can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Puno and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Half Day Tour Floating Islands of Uros Puno start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Puno within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Puno?
+
On Outty we rank every Puno experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tour to Uros and Taquile Islands in a Fast Boat, Uros and Taquile Speedboat Day Tour in Small Group, Uros and Taquile Islands on New and Comfortable SpeedBoat. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Puno?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Puno?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
