Our tour was amazing!!! We were nervous because it was the cheapest option, but it did not show at all. Couples got their own private rooms, food was great, our tour guide plastido was amazing, such a beautiful tour, 10/10! 

Our friend had to join the tour late and they easily accommodated us. Also, our friend was vegetarian, no problem at all!

Die Tour an sich war super. Die Landschaft ist der Wahnsinn.
Unser Fahrer Luis war auch top, super nett und ist wirklich sehr gut und sicher gefahren! Er hat auf alles geachtet, wenn es jmd. nicht gut ging oder jmd. noch für ein Foto anhalten wollte etc.

Dass die Unterkünfte basic sein werden, war vorher klar. Dass aber das Abendessen und Frühstück so schlecht sein wird, leider nicht. 
Am ersten Frühstück war das Brot sogar bereits am schimmeln. 
Hier sollten die travelagency dringend mit den Hotels sprechen, das war teilweise eine Zumutung.
Wir waren über Weihnachten auf der Tour. Natürlich haben wir uns das so ausgesucht, aber doch irgendwie gedacht, dass auch dort wie in allen anderen Städten und Orten in Bolivien etwas geschmückt wird oder nett abends zusammen gegessen wird.

Todo muy bien la disponibilidad y explicación en cada punto, hospedaje comida,todo como estaba previsto,muchas gracias.nuestro guía Luis muy agradable.

nossa experiência foi incrível! A agência Skyline fez um ótimo trabalho, nosso tour foi maravilhoso e o guia que nos acompanhou foi perfeito, Plácido foi super prestativo e atencioso. Não poderia ter sido melhor. Amamos tudo!

It was a super nice tour due to the landscape etc. But since this is the same for everyone I’m just gonna talk about the tour organisation etc. 

Our Guide Plácido only spoke Spanish but with only one year of doing Duolingo 2 minutes a day we were able to follow - and what he explained was a lot more than we expected since the agencies said we’d just get „drivers“. Plácido knew a lot about the landscape, explained everything nicely and patiently and also explained our itinerary.

Also when some other car had a breakdown it was Plácido who helped them multiple times with fixing the car.

So Plácido was a super good guide and also mechanic, thus deserves a pay rise! 

The food was also good, simple but tasty. 

Only thing that should be improved is provision of water from time to time.

great trip. every day new highlights. our guide, Ivan from Skyline Traveller was most experienced, very friendly and always there to help - even for fotos at night (stars). highly recommended.

Very good. One of the most beautiful trips I have ever made.

The tourguide / Chauffeur was very good. Alvi was his name. Good English, had a lot of added value. Plus Humor! Skyline travelagent.

Circuit incroyable, des expériences folles, plein de souvenirs ! Petits groupes de 6, donc hyper convivial. Organisation au top de A à Z, c’est juste une expérience à ne pas manquer.

Our guide Beto was amazing! An experience we will never forget. No words can describe this tour!

The 3 day salt flats tour was such a wonderful experience, especially with our guide Saul who made our trip so extra special with his knowledge, warmth and his willingness to make our trip so much more  - he even threw in a special 4.30am wake up call to see the Milky Way - something we will never forget with some spectacular photos  ! The itinerary was packed full and the sights we saw were out of this world - I would not hesitate to recommend this trip and if you get Saul as your guide you will not be disappointed.

Eine tolle Tour, die ich jedem empfehlen kann. Unser Guide Alberto hat sich ganz viel Mühe gegeben und in einer lustigen Mischung aus Spanisch und Englisch viele wichtige und interessante Dinge erklärt. Die Organisation war prima, Essen und Unterkunft OK. Es war ein unvergessliches Ereignis mit einmaligen Eindrücken. Wir sind am Ende na San Pedro de Atacama weitergereist. Auch dies war problemlos.

Food on the second night and third morning was pretty poor. There were no plates to eat off on the third morning and we were given stale bread which looked like mold had been cut off it. 

Overall really enjoyed the salt flats, the lagoons and the geysers. Would have liked to spend more time at the geysers.

Fue muy fácil hacer la reserva y todo/a(s) se pusieron en contacto conmigo con información importante. Así nunca sentí perdida.

Our driver Ruben was fantastic. He always went above and beyond to make sure we made the most of our time on the tour and was very informative and always happy to answer any questions that we had. He most certainly went above and beyond in every aspect. The food was also excellent and plentiful. Definitely 10/10 from us.

One of the best experiences, unique landscapes alternating one after another! Our guide David was so friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable!

La experiencia ha sido muy positiva. Eduardo nuestro driver, y guía, fue estupendo. Siempre atento a satisfacer las necesidades de todo el grupo, dando suficiente tiempo como para visitar los sitios con tranquilidad. Los alojamientos y comidas han sido mucho mejor de lo que nos esperábamos. La agencia informó puntualmente de todo, incluso en un intento de ser cautos, pintando las cosas algo peor de lo que luego son. Lo recomiendo al 100%!

The 3 day Salt Flats tour was simply outstanding and was the highlight of our trip to South America. We had a great driver/ guide in Eduardo who explained everything in detail and looked after us all extremely well.
Would strongly recommend

It was a really nice tour with our driver Eduardo. 
He tried to explain and shows us everything, served us lovely food ( even vegan) and was at the same time a nice photographer. Would definitely recommend to have this experience with Eduardo

The tour was awesome! We covered a lot in the 3 days. The views are different and great, as well as the wildlife. Our guide and driver esteban was very helpful and creative especially on the salt flats shots! All the food included in the tour was delicious and enough. They even gave us drinks. The stays are humble but complete with warm beddings and hot shower. Will definitely recommend this tour. Maybe one slight improvement is for maybe a longer stay in the laguna colorad viewpoint. We were there 10 mins since we need to catch before sunset the laguna colorada walk but the views in the viewpoint are one of the best and maybe additional few mins will be great. Thanks! Had a lot of fun!

Tbh I expected a more comfortable ride (being stuck in the back row isn't comfortable at all- especially if you suffer from car illness). The system was supposed to be a rotation one where everyone gets to stay in the back seat but it wasn't like that. 

Also, the last day we were supposed to visit the green lagoon but the driver seemed intent to convince us otherwise and said that there was a black lagoon which was better (as lagoon wasn't even green). We asked whether we could skip the hot springs (as no one wanted to swim) and visit the green lagoon and the black one but he refused. He told us we still have to wait one hr at the hot springs. We ended up waiting 1hr 30mins...because he went to eat at a house that's next to the springs. We were like wtf?! No one even wanted to swim but instead of taking us to visit the green and white lagoon, he kept us waiting at the hot springs while he went eating. 

The rest of the trip was great and we met some nice people and made good friends. However , we were all frustrated because of what I've explained. Also, I can't understand how all the people who were with me got a ride back to the hotel but we were dropped off at the company's office and had to walk it back with our luggages...oh and we paid more than we did. Great, right?!

Il tuor è stato operato da una agenzia locale tramite Howlanders, la scelta dell’operatore locale è stata molto buona perché ci siamo sentiti sempre al sicuro ( le strade del salar sono molto complesse) e le sistemazioni erano buone in considerazione del tipo di viaggio. La nostra guida era una persona di esperienza e calma di fronte agli imprevisti che possono capitare. Ottima esperienza

An amazing 3 day tour - jam packed with lots of incredible sights. The one negative was the food. The lunches were good - but the breakfasts and dinners were pretty terrible. I know it’s a remote location - but I still feel they could do better.

The salt hotel on the first night was great, but the hotel on the second night was fairly basic.

Good service







       








………..

Ein absolut tolles Erlebnis. Wir hatten eine tolle Gruppe und einen super Fahrer/Führer Max. Er musste auch ausbügeln, dass die Agentur die Schlafsäcke für uns nicht mitgegeben hatte. Bei der Eiseskälte nachts ist das kein Spaßt. Wir bekamen noch Decken, froren aber dennoch. 
Landschaftlich ust die Tour ein Traum.

It was amazing, but extremely intensive, and the accomodations could improve in warmth and WiFi access. The things I've seen overweight the problems. Maybe for the quantity of things, it could be rearranged into a 4-5 days experience.

This trip was the highlight of my 2 month trip to Peru and Bolivia. Skyline was a fantastic company to deal with, every aspect was arranged with friendly and efficient service. David, Our guide for the 3 days was fantastic, he went out of his way to share as much of the region as he could possibly fit into the time we had. So many other travellers missed out on experiences David shared with us. The accommodation is basic but you are told to expect that and from a personal perspective I feel it doesn’t hurt to live like a local to appreciate simple luxuries. I would recommend this trip and this company to everyone.

Super consigliato!
Abbiamo fatto il tour di 3 giorni e 2 notti ed è stata un’esperienza incredibile!! Paesaggi davvero surreali!
La nostra guida Eduardo è stato davvero super gentile, molto premuroso e sempre disponibile. Ci ha fornito moltissime informazioni sui luoghi dove ci ha portato.
I luoghi del pernottamento sono molto spartani e non sempre riscaldati (questo indipendentemente dalla compagnia con cui si fa il tour)
Unica nota: noi siamo stati ad agosto ed era davvero molto freddo e ventoso (la notte arrivano a -12 le temperature) - bisogna arrivare preparati!

Tornerei domani!!!

Una experiencia  genial con paisajes inolvidables. El guía Eduardo el mejor. La experiencia a sido súper gratificante gracias a él. Recomiendo muchísimo!!

Tour war super organisiert, gut auf individuelle Dinge eingegangen.

Einziger negativer Aspekt:
Uns wurde gesagt, dass wir um 05:00 Uhr Früh vom Busbahnhof nach einer Nachtfahrt abgeholt werden. Das funktionierte leider nicht und wir hatten einige Troubles ... bei den anderen Teilnehmer hat es aber anscheinend funktioniert ... Vermutlich ein individueller Fehler ... 

Sonst super Tour gewesen ...

Un organización perfecta. Nuestro guia-conductor Plácido un auténtico maestro. Conocedor de la zona, con mucha experiencia y con trato exquisito hacia todo grupo.
Hemos visto paisajes increíbles, vivido experiencias inolvidables.
Recomendable cien por cien.
Recomendable

Hola hice el tour de 3dias. Yo viajaba sola pero el grupo que se formó fue increíble, angy lee la agencia local con la q tuve comunicación previa una divina, alberto el guía a cargo del grupo un genio, una persona muy amable, atento a todo ..el hospedaje muy bien. La comida excelente. Los lugares a los q fuimos increíbles la verdad. En resumen mi experiencia fue muy buena. Cumplieron con todo lo pactado. Gracias.

The locations we visited were fantastic, and Marco was absolutely lovely and incredibly knowledgeable; I honestly think he's been the best tour guide I've had on my whole 6 month trip so would highly recommend him to anyone :) was an unforgettable experience

PROCEED WITH CAUTION 
I did this tour solo and had a great group and saw incredible sights. That being said there are a few things you should be aware of before booking. There is a whole list of things you need to bring (water, cash, sleeping bags, etc.) that isn’t sent until 9pm the day prior when most people are on a night bus en route to uyuni. If I were to redo it, I would have requested this days in advance. Next, this tour is 100% in Spanish even though it says the guide speaks basic English. Our guide spoke zero words of English. Myself and another girl were told we would have had to write in the text box while checking out that we wanted an English speaking guide and paid extra (even though this is not noted anywhere). Besides the language barrier the guide was actually just a driver. He did not provide any information or history regarding what we were seeing. He just sat in the car chewing a wad of coca leaves while we walked around and took pictures. Lastly one of the girls on our tour got her phone stolen and subsequently returned by someone at the second night hostel (we were the only tourists there). Our guide did nothing to facilitate the return and our group actually managed to put the pressure on for its return. While the tour itself was incredible I was very underwhelmed by the staff and the guide.

The guide and the drivers offered exceptional service
The views are stunning

La experiencia fue muy buena!! Sobre todo gracias a Eduardo Canaza, nuestro guia. Siempre intento que estuvieramos comodos y estaba disponible para todo!!

Our guide did an amazing job. He really gave it his all and beyond. He made sure we got all the information we needed, lots of stop and pretty views. He also made sure we weren’t too cold, when it was -5 degrees doing the night by giving us heating pads.
The only thing that could be better was the focus on food allergies. My friends kamilla is lactose intolerant and there were multiple times where we had to ask for ekstra food without milk or cheese and sometimes alternatives wasn’t provided.

Maravilhosa, superou minhas expectativas, ótimo custo beneficio.

The sales team at Howlanders is responsive and friendly.
The local tour Skyline Travelers is also responsive when we whatsapp them to arrange for airport pickup.
The itinerary involves 900km of driving over 3 days which isn't a lot but most of the driving is offroad and therefore uncomfortable, especially if you are sitting in the back row.
My group has people from 2 other tour operators and therefore we were confused on the itinerary as they are slightly different to Skyline's itinerary. 
Food is good and enough for us as we are small eaters but is not enough for Vegetarian dietary people (dinners Day 1 and 2) in the group. 
The sceneries are awesome and as per the photos on Howlanders' tour page except for the Sunset at the salt flats on day 1. We were driving to the hostel and the driver just stopped the car minutes just before the sunset. We didn't have enough time to get out of the car but the sunset is mediocre (no reflection) that we didn't mind.
We had a private room and we booked a sleeping bag but may be due to language barrier, the local tour didn't prompt us to pay at the office and therefore it was not taken from the office. We had enough blankets on Night 1 but was too cold to sleep on Night 2. Do book and pay for the sleeping bag in the cold months (from May) even you have booked a private room. The private room on Day 2 is basic with clean beds and some blankets. Although  ithas hot water, it is only for a few hours (6.30 - 9pm) .  We arrived to the hotel at 5pm but couldn't have a shower as there was no hot water. 
Our driver, Max, only speaks Spanish, is a safe driver and friendly. 
On Day 3, we stopped at the hotspring for 30mins ( a bit short for a decent dip when it's -3°C). Then we drove 20mins to the border to drop off 2 people who continue to Chile and drive back passing the hotspring (no one in the pool).  It would be nice that those people who don't go on to Chile border are offered the option to stay at the hotspring for an extra 40 mins (no crowds) to enjoy it because the hotspring can be a key highlight of Day 3 in the cold months if it is an hour insteadof 30 mins (a lot of effort and courage to change into bathers) at 6am below 0°C..
Our group is a combined group from different local tour operators and therefore a couple of people insisted to watch the sunset at the Salt flat reflection.  We skipped all the itinerary of day 3 after the border drop off so we didn't see 
The Black Lagoon, the Valley of Rocks, and the San Cristobal village church. However the Reflection at the Salt flats is truly beautiful and mesmerising at sunset. It's worthy to note that the Reflection is not included in Howlanders' Day 1 itinerary likes other tour operators as it is only 20mins from Uyuni (in different direction og Day 1 itinerary though) which may be not needed in the wer months.
We recommend this tour but be ready for 8 -10 hours of very bumpy drive per day for day 2 and 3 and bring your own food if you have special dietary as food may not be enough.

È stato un tour meraviglioso! Abbiamo fatto in 3 giorni davvero tantissime tappe, uno degli ostelli era davvero di lusso, e la nostra guida Placido ha reso tutto ancora più bello con la sua simpatia e mettendoci il cuore nel suo lavoro.

Superbe expérience de 3 jours les guides sont super sympa les hôtels sont parfait pour la nuit, on ne manque pas de nourriture pendant les repas 
Merci beaucoup je recommande !

A pesar de que es un plan cansado por los recorridos y los tiempos, es algo que vale mucho la pena.

Realmente una experiencia impresionante, pero con toda la organización para las visitas, los hospedajes mejor de lo que esperaba, la comida fresca y rica, nuestro guía Luis amable siempre, con buena disposición... Muy recomendable

Das Erlebniss war einzigartig und wunderschön. Die Unterkünfte waren genial, wenn auch etwas kalt. Rumbear war ein toller Guide. Das Essen war leider bei jeder Mahlzeit viel zu wenig (aber lecker), das ist sehr schade. Sonst ein sehr empfehlenswerter Trip.

Magnífico tour, nuestro guía, Rubén, nos encantó. Tiene experiencia, da la información necesaria y al mismo tiempo da espacio a cada persona respetando los ritmos de cada uno/a. Muy atento y amable.

Alberto was an amazing guide, making sure we were having a good time and being safe. We were a group of 6 and we had plenty of food! Don't hesitate to bring warmer clothes, it can get very chilly very fast in the desert. I would recommend taking the sleeping bag if you're there in may, even if it's not winter yet.

A great, if exhausting experience! It's three long days of driving but they fit so many stops and experiences into it. No English spoken by the guide but he was great and took excellent care of us - driving, arranging meals, taking pictures, and providing explanations.

Great experience. Enough time at reach spot, food and accommodation exceeded my expectations (all was incredible). Our driver Veto was lovely and so knowledgeable, he took safety and fun as the number 1 priority. Would highly recommend this tour.

Probably the best ever tour what we had.We spent 3 days on best possible landscape with professional support of our guide Alberto from Skyline.We been so lucky and catch a mirror efect on the Uyuni salt and we explore to maximum all others stops of our itinerary.everything it was above my expectations

Tuvimos que cambiar el tour por motivos de salud y el operador nos facilitó todo lo que pudo que pudiéramos disfrutar de la visita al Salar, lo que agradeceremos siempre.

It surpassed our expectations, amazing trip and experiences. Thank you so much for making this happen, and so easy to book, pay and communicate during the whole process

We loved it! The tour and everything we got to see was amazing, our tour guide was super patient with us taking time to get the right pictures. He was a very good driver and just a nice guy, just a little late in the mornings (two times 30 minutes late :/). We did the tour in march, that’s why we couldn’t go to the salt hotel and the island but that was okay. All in all a nice experience.

El tour estuvo de acuerdo a lo planeado, todo el personal muy amables un gran servicio al cliente, la experiencia fue espectacular y todo muy aseado. David nos permitió vivir cada momento de manera única.

Le programme proposé est super. Nous étions 6 et le conducteur était sympathique. Nous avons été étonnées de la qualité de la nourriture (choix végétarien). 

Gros point négatif : les logements.
Première nuit, nous avons dormi dans un hostel où nous partagions une salle de bain/ toilettes mixtes pour 5 sur le palier sans verrou, ni rideau de douche… Deuxième nuit : très rustique (dommage de ne pas le préciser), une douche pour 15personnes à 10 bob/pers et deux toilettes sans papier, ni verrou. Nous avons demandé s’il y avait de l’eau chaude, on nous a répondu en rigolant que oui… je crois que nous n’avons pas la même notion de chaud. Nous avions aussi demandé un sac de couchage, on nous a répondu que cela n’était pas nécessaire, résultat : nuit glaciale à 4200m sans chauffage, ni vraiment d’isolation.
GROSSE SURPRISE le dernier jour : notre conducteur ne nous a pas amené au désert et à la lagune verde, nous avons loupé le sunrise, sans aucune raison alors que les autres groupes l’ont fait ! Qd on lui a demandé pourquoi, il nous a dit qu’il avait une meilleure surprise : la laguna negra qui est elle aussi déjà prévu dans le tour. Ce manque de professionnalisme a ternis la fin de l’aventure. Nous étions tous les 6 déçus.

The tour was a wonderful experience in every way. Easy to book, great communication, lots of information. All staff friendly, helpful and very efficient. We are a couple in our 60s and the other members in our group were 20s to 30s, but we all got on well and had a great tour. Our driver, Placido was fantastic! His driving skills were incredible. His photography has given us some amazing memories. His knowledge of the area and his enthusiasm to show us and tell us everything made the tour so enjoyable. We have been travelling the world for 15 years, had some great experiences, but this is the best thing we have done. Thank you Howlanders, thank you Placido.

Nota 10 
Organização, passeios, guia turístico , pontualidade 
Tudo excelente!!

We had an amazing time! Vladimir was the best guide. He always explained a lot and made sure everyone was comfortable. The accommodation and food was simple but very good and we also did not freeze during the nights. Definitely one of the best tours I ever did! Can 100% recommend.

3 day tour experience that I won’t trade it for the world. The best.

Don domingo, la persona que se encargó de guiarnos en el tour, demasiado atento y siempre con buena disposición para todo, tras de que manejaba, preparaba la comida, nos acomodaba nos tomó unas fotos y videos espectaculares, se nota que ama lo que hace y ama mucho a su país, definitivamente lo recomiendo al 100% mi experiencia fue increíble y valoro mucho todo lo que hicieron por el grupo.

We really had an amazing time on our tour in Bolivia! Thanks to Skyline Traveler for the great organization and our guide Christian really took care of us. The landscape in Bolivia is amazing and the people are very friendly. We will recommend the tour to our friends and family

It was a well organised tour. Everything was well prepared and written down. We had a lovely Group experience!

This was absolutely one of the highlights of our time in South America. The salt flats themselves are very impressive, but it was the wide range of incredibly beautiful landscapes that we saw over the course of the tour that really impressed us. Our guide (Saul) was also AMAZING, and went above and beyond to make our experience memorable (including a photo-shoot under the stars on our second night). I really can’t recommend this tour enough if you have the time and budget for it!

Increíble experiencia, empresa muy profesional, cumplen todo lo descrito. El guía Iván hace la diferencia: te permite disfrutar los lugares sin apuro, te ayuda con las fotos, te explica y es muy amable. Otro aspecto a destacar es que el primer día te van a buscar al terminal y te llevan a una cafetería para que no quedes tirado en la calle. La recepcionista de la agencia skytraveller te da buenas recomendaciones para prepararte para el tour.

Si bien los lugares donde te alojas tienen solo lo básico, cuentan con lo necesario para el tour. Las comidas son ricas y abundantes. Los automóviles dónde te transportan están en buen estado.

En general una muy buena experiencia, lo recomiendo totalmente.

PD arrienden saco de dormir y lleven ropa abrigada y porque las noches y mañanas son frías.

It's was amazing the tour guide was very implicated with us and showed us more than expected. A great moment.

This 3 day trip was spectacular. The ease of booking  (through Howlanders.com) was exceptional and the trip was a great value. I paid by credit card and my reservation was confirmed immediately. Howlanders promptly informed me that Skyline Traveller would be my local agency and communication from Skyline was excellent. On the morning of the first day, they picked me up at my hotel, took me to their office, where i rented a sleeping bag, and I met up with the other travelers.  Our guide Saul was professional, dedicated and knowledgeable. This was a Spanish language tour but Saul's English was more than adequate. He timed our visits to key sites (and some beautiful unusual ones) so we avoided the rush of other tourist groups which was much appreciated, as August is high season. And the other guests in my groups were wonderful -- I will always remember this trip.

The trip was an amazing experience, the sights we saw were phenomenal. Accommodation and food were very basic but good and this is to be expected when so remote. Unfortunately our driver appeared to be under the influence of something on the second day. We can’t say for sure but he was driving sometimes very slowly and other times quite recklessly, we got lost at one point and this meant when we made it to the sights we had to rush. On the other two days, he was a good tour guide but this experience on the second day was a little concerning. 

Fantastic tour with an excellent, friendly and honest guide (Saul). Wonderful landscapes, good timing and great flexibility and calm (we participated as a family with kids). Good and clean hostels, good food. A wonderful experience and a dream come true. 

The tour was great! We saw so many amazing places, every day was exceptional! Our guide Vlad was excellent- we opted to not pay extra to get an English speaking guide. Vlad even though he didn’t speak much English was very attentive and ensured to make everyone feel comfortable and kept the vibe positive! We’d heard a lot from other travellers about how the salt flats tours accomodation was meant to be ‘humble’ but we were happy with our rooms. We were warm enough in the accom. Big thanks for a memorable tour and experience! Highly recommend!

The 3-day salt desert tour was one of the best experiences I have ever had. Everything was perfectly organised and you really felt very comfortable. Especially the expertise of our tour guide Alberto made the trip unforgettable! I would book this tour again in a heartbeat.

Great tour would recommend, both the guide Jessie and our driver we’re great

I had an amazing time on my 3 trip. Howlanders were so accommodating when I had to change my plans twice. 
The landscapes were incredible and we had so many wonderful experiences.
The hostels both nights were basic as to be expected but hot showers were available and the rooms were clean. It was extremely cold in June so prepare with lots of warm clothing. 
The food was great and there was always more than enough for the group.
Be prepared for three days of endless bumpy roads, but it is all part of the experience!
My group and guide Louis all were Spanish speakers. If you don't understand much Spanish and aren't willing to take the risk, I'd recommend booking the English guide.
Despite the language boundaries, my guide Louis was very helpful and friendly the whole time.

I loved the whole trip. Our driver was Placido, he was very nice, kind and warm. He made the experience very comfortable and pleasant.
We visited all the places the tour promised, they were amazing and beautiful. We had enough time to spend in each one, enjoy them and take all the pictures we wanted.

Expérience unique et immersive au cœur des Andes. Il ne faut pas avoir peur de faire beaucoup de jeep mais les paysages sont merveilleux !

The 2 night/3 day tour of the Uyuni Salt Flats was incredible! Each day so different but just as amazing as the previous. My guide, Ruben, was very knowledgeable of the different landscapes and always had some great ideas for those “classic” tourist photos on the salt flats. He spoke in very clear Spanish which I was able to understand easily for someone who is still learning the language. I sadly didn’t get an opportunity to thank him properly as we were all a bit rushed at the border with Chile. So if someone at Howlanders could pass on my gratitude to him that would be great! 

The food and accommodation was also exceptional. Strongly recommend this tour!

The tour was well organised. The comments about our accommodation on the last night being humble, to me were incorrect. It exceeded my expectations.
The disappointment of the tour was the the driver/guide. There was no discussion about the plans for the day. We would turn up at a location and he would stay in the vehicle and look at his phone. There was no effort to engage with us whilst driving.
This all changed on the last day, and the thought was he only did that so we would feel obliged to tip him.

La excursión es fantástica. Nuestro guía se llamaba Rubén y fue muy atento durante los tres días, nos explicó muchas cosas sobre Bolivia, comimos platos típicos y nos llevó a sitios espectaculares.
El único inconveniente son los hospedajes, sobre todo el del segundo día. Desde un principio te advierte de que son lugares humildes, pero además de humildes están poco cuidados. Por ejemplo, no poniendo papel higiénico en los baños o teniendo las ventanas rotas.
Por lo demás muy bien

It was a super nice tour the food was good. The guide was super sweet and was interested in learning some English words (we took a Spanish tour). Every question we had he could answer. At first we got picked up by te wrong tour but our tour picked us op from the hostel again and drove us to the first stop where we met our group. Good experience 

It was very nice. We saw very beautiful and many different things all over the tour. From Lagunes to the endlessness of salt to active vulcanes. Our guide Rubén was super cool and the food also was very nice. 
Only thing to notice is in the second night the rooms aren‘t isolated and it‘s getting very cold, so make sure to bring warm clothes. 
The weather changes, in the mornings and nights it‘s very cold, in the day, because of the sun, it‘s fine to go with just a sweatshirt.

espectacular. nuestro guia nos encanto y se merece un 10

El viaje a Uyuni con Skyline Travelers a través de Howlanders fue increíble. Los lugares que visitamos fueron impresionantes. La atención de nuestro guía, Rubén, fue excelente. La comida que nos dieron fue muy buena. Mi única crítica es que cuando te recogen en la terminal de Uyuni, antes de que comience el tour, llevan a un restaurante algo caro en lugar de dejarte decidir por tu cuenta. Deberían explicarte que debes de estar en la oficina del operador turístico a las 10 y dejarte ir a buscar el mejor lugar para desayunar.

We had the BEST time on our tour with Vladimir and Paola. Paola was the queen of knowledge with amazing English, Vladimir was the king of 4x4 driving, beats and food. Honestly the best food we’ve had so far on our whole trip! The tour itself was full of incredible sights, surprises and Easter eggs that we didn’t expect. The best three days ever! Thank you!

We had the best experience. We had a really nice guide who took care of us very well. He looked for spots with less tourist and wanten us to have the best experience. 

We did the tour as a family of 6, so it was like a private tour :) Our guide David was very nice and he took many great pictures and videos of us in the Salar. The food was great, we saw lots of amazing stuff and we felt very safe and well taken care of. Thank you for a great experience!

The tour guide took good care of the team members during the three days.  The scenery is beautiful and I had a great time.

¡Hola! Me complace compartir mi opinión sobre el tour que realicé. Reservamos online con "Howlanders" y realizamos la travesía con "Skyline Traveller Uyuni" para visitar los atractivos turísticos del Salar de Uyuni y Parque Abaroa en tres días y dos noches. En resumen y pocas palabras, fue una experiencia única, de otro mundo e inolvidable.
Desde el principio, el equipo de Howlanders-Skyline se mostró muy profesional y servicial. La comunicación previa al viaje fue excelente, y todas las preguntas y solicitudes fueron respondidas con prontitud y amabilidad. Además, el tour se llevó a cabo sin contratiempos y con una logística muy bien organizada.
Fuimos con mi familia que me visitó desde Alemania (Hermano y Pareja), y mi esposo Franz y mis hijas.
Ahora bien, lo más destacado del tour fueron los lugares que visitamos. El cementerio de trenes. El Salar de Uyuni es verdaderamente espectacular, con sus interminables llanuras blancas y paisajes surrealistas, la isla Incahuasi imponente e impresionante. La puesta del sol en unos espejos de agua con nuestras copas de vino hizo muy especial el final del primer día.
También visitamos lagunas de diferentes colores, como la Laguna Colorada, donde pudimos ver flamencos y otros animales autóctonos. En el Parque Abaroa, las formaciones rocosas, los geisers, las aguas termales y los paisajes naturales eran simplemente impresionantes y en cierta medida extraterrestres.
Nuestro guía turístico (Rubén, nacido a orillas del salar, en una comunidad cercana al Volcán Ollagüe), que a la vez hizo de excelente conductor, fotógrafo y cocinero, fue excepcional. Un persona sencilla y muy amable. Conocía muy bien la zona y nos proporcionó información detallada y recomendaciones sobre cada lugar que visitamos. Además, se aseguró de que nos sintiéramos cómodos en todo momento, incluso durante los tramos largos en coche. Su creatividad y experiencia para tomar fotos en el salar nos fue muy útil.
En síntesis, recomiendo encarecidamente a Howlanders-Skyline para cualquier persona que desee explorar los atractivos turísticos del Salar de Uyuni y el Parque Abaroa. El equipo es muy profesional, los lugares que visitamos son impresionantes y la experiencia en general fue simplemente espectacular. ¡Gracias Howlanders-Skyline por una experiencia memorable e inolvidable!

Wir hatten eine unglaublich tolle Zeit. Alles war bestens organisiert, vom Essen bis zur Unterkunft. Auf unsere vegetarischen Wünsche wurde auch Rücksicht genommen. Unser Tourguide, Ruben, war sehr aufmerksam, lustig und sehr darum bemüht uns alles so angenehm wie möglich zu machen. Ich würde dieses Unternehmen auf jeden Fall empfehlen. 

Un excelente tour, muy buena la comida y el  hospedaje y el guia Vladimir excelente, siempre dispuesto a responder cualquier pregunta con buena actitud, muy servicial y muy buena onda,, lo pasamos increíble en gran parte gracias a él.

Un muy bello viaje con un gran guía (Vladimir) que fue super atento todo el viaje. Los paisajes del viaje fueron increíbles super recomendable 

We absolutely loved this tour! Our guide was so kind and friendly and went out of his way to make it a special experience and make sure we were all having fun. He even brought us special tea when our friend was sick and lent us extra money when we ran out. The food was more than enough and extremely tasty Bolivian food. Accommodation on the second night was very cold but we were given hot drinks and food and plenty of blankets. Just make sure to bring warm clothes and loo roll! Overall it was a great experience and would highly recommend as you get to see the salt flats the desert loads of lagoons and much more. Thank you very much worth every penny !! 

This was one of the best tours I have ever been on.  Very weel organized, the timr at each attraction was enough, food and accomodation were above our expectations. Our driver/guide Vladmir was extremely friendly and kind, knowledgeable on the area, and it was definitely a highlight of the tour. If I have friends interested in the Salt flats I will reccomend this tour

El tour de tres días por el salar de Uyuni con Ronald fue increíble pero me gustaría destacar negativamente el que no se de el nombre de la agencia para contactar con ellos antes (ya que una vez en Bolivia no disponíamos de internet) y que no se mencione que las duchas son de pago y que compartiríamos baño con 30 personas. Con el precio que se paga, que seguro es más alto que en la agencia de allí, esperaba tener incluido baño y duchas ya que es una necesidad básica.

I’ve been backpacking South America for awhile now and i feel this tour should’ve been the grand finale of my travels. While you DO get to see the salt flats (which are incredible), you see SO much more than can possibly be listed in their description, as well as incredible memories with fellow travelers/guides. I was fortunate enough to have Ruben with me for 3 days (I called him the father figure over all the other ones because he was always checking in all of us, but his other guides during mealtimes.) The journey is very accurate in regards to timeframe, give or take 30-45 minutes. As a vegan, i was worried that there would be minimal options for me, but each meal we had MORE than enough food for our group of 6, including fruits and vegetables! Wine watching the sunset on the salt flats, the 100s upon 100s of llamas, alpacas, and vicuñas, sunrise at geysers and a volcano…our group consisting of people from Guernsey, Malta, Spain, and Chile couldn’t have asked for a better guide or experience. This isn’t to be missed :)

Unluckily, 2 of the group couldn't travel in the last days before the trip. The agency and Howlanders customer service immediately arranged the reimbursement with no problems! The two people that ended un traveling had a great time, good organization and amazing experience!
