    We had a great day on...

    We had a great day on this tour. Our guide, Soledad, accommodated us on what we wanted to see and do, and did a wonderful job. It was a full and comprehensive day on the salt flats, and we were very happy with the experience. Highly recommend.

    Fantastic

    Oh, wow! It was a magical experience that’s hard to define. You have to see it for yourself to fully understand how amazing it is.. The Joker tour was brilliant! They had a lot of patience with us and made sure we had all the information because we are deaf. They put in a lot of effort for me, and it blew us away. The view was magical! You definitely won't regret it. I apprecIate for coco and Alvora

    Brilliant tour from Coco and Álvaro! Wonderful experience!

    Amazing experience! From pick up hotel at La Paz, over night coach to Uyuni. Then picked up and drop off lovely cosy hotel, then Coco and Álvaro came pick us up and drove us to grave train, then to Salt Flats, we saw many things! Amazing experience and will never forget what we saw. Saw cactuses, wonderful to see how big it grown. Coco and Álvaro explain and gave us loads of information, we appreciate this. As we’re deaf, they made a lot of effort to make sure that we were able to have full access with all information via WhatsApp messages. So appreciate for this. Afterward we had an amazing lunch, so delicious! So full up! Then drovr all way until some sculpture of salts. Unbelievable how big they can get. Then they took us to location where we took some funny pictures. Coco and Álvaro offered us to watch sunset, but we was tired and they took us back to Uyuni hotel, so luxurious hotel. We appreciate for Coco and Álvaro making sure we’re comfortable and enjoy the experience!

    Beyond fabulous experience, excellent customer service

    This ranks amount the best tours I’ve ever enjoyed. Our guide Al and driver Costa were excellent. Al shared a wealth of fun and interesting information starting with the Train Cemetery, to the creation of the salt flats, Incahuasi Island, Tunupa Volcano, and happy hour and sunset on the flats. The hotel arrangements they made were excellent at Luna Salada Hotel and spa. With every step beginning to end they made sure we had everything we needed and more. It was such an easy yet exciting day. I wish I had booked at least two days with them.

    Uyuni Salt Flats: Full Day Shared Tour with english speaking guide: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Uyuni.

    How much does Uyuni Salt Flats: Full Day Shared Tour with english speaking guide cost?

    +

    Prices start at $162 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Uyuni usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Uyuni Salt Flats: Full Day Shared Tour with english speaking guide 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 Uyuni is not rushed.

    Is Uyuni Salt Flats: Full Day Shared Tour with english speaking guide worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 18 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Uyuni, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Uyuni Salt Flats: Full Day Shared Tour with english speaking guide?

    +

    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 Uyuni Salt Flats: Full Day Shared Tour with english speaking guide 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 Uyuni Salt Flats: Full Day Shared Tour with english speaking guide?

    +

    Around 6 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 Uyuni 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 Uyuni and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Uyuni Salt Flats: Full Day Shared Tour with english speaking guide 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 Uyuni 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 Uyuni?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Uyuni experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 3-Days Tour to the Uyuni Salt Flat and Colored Lagoons +Sunset+Mirror Effect, Uyuni Salt Flat 1 Day Tour +Sunset in the Salt Water Region with Mirror Effect, 3-Day Salt Tour of Uyuni with Sunset and Lagoons Colorada. 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 Uyuni?

    +

    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 Uyuni?

    +

    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.
