Tour of Titicaca
The day on Lake Titicaca was fantastic. The guide, Samuel, spoke English, Spanish and the local Incan Languages as well. The stops at the floating islands and Taquile were very informative. The views of/from the islands were great as was the food included. I would highly recommend the tour.

A beautiful day on Lake Titicaca
We had a very nice day boat trip with Inca Lake. Our English speaking guide Samuel picked us up at our hotel on time and the whole trip went very smoothly. Samuel was attentive to our needs and provided very good information about the culture and sights we experienced.

Amazing day tour
Our tour guide Samuel provided a 5-star service from picking us up at the hotel to the end of the tour. He explained everything in such great details that made us appreciate the culture and people here even more. His fluent English helps a lot. I would highly recommend this trip. A truly thumbs-up experience. The boat ride as well as the delicious lunch overlooking the lake in the island are wonderful. Hats up to Samuel!

Very Good Experience / Recommend without hesitation
Our day through this tour was great particularly thanks to our guide Samuel who was not only very knowledgeable about what we were visiting but also was definitely sharing a lot of information (eg showing us examples of traditional hat used in Taquile island), taking good care of his entire group and was speaking very good English. Would definitely recommend doing this tour with Samuel.

Uros and Taquile Islands on New and Comfortable SpeedBoat: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puno.
How much does Uros and Taquile Islands on New and Comfortable SpeedBoat cost?
+
Prices start at $50 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 Uros and Taquile Islands on New and Comfortable SpeedBoat take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Uros and Taquile Islands on New and Comfortable SpeedBoat worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 87 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 277 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Puno, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Uros and Taquile Islands on New and Comfortable SpeedBoat?
+
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 Uros and Taquile Islands on New and Comfortable SpeedBoat suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Uros and Taquile Islands on New and Comfortable SpeedBoat?
+
Around 97 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Uros and Taquile Islands on New and Comfortable SpeedBoat 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, Puno to Cusco Scenic Day Trip with Lunch (Route of the Sun). 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.
