Nicolas – Switzerland

The best tour we have ever done. The organization was very professional from the beginning to the end. The food on the tour was amazing (especially the carrots). The music in our private car was magnificent. I can recommend it to anyone.

Unforgettable Day Trip with Joker Experience – A Five-Star Adventure! Our day trip through the salt desert with Joker Experience deserves nothing less than an A+ rating! Chris, our driver, and Lily, our guide, gave us an incredible experience, showing and explaining the wonders of the salt desert. We had plenty of time to soak in the breathtaking scenery and capture stunning photos. Lily, with her creative touch, took beautiful shots of us—natural, funny, and far from the usual touristy poses. It was such a unique and personal touch to the day. The lunch, along with the wine and snacks at sunset, was prepared with so much love and care, making the experience even more special. Everything was perfectly organized, and we couldn’t have asked for a better way to explore this magical place. The hotel Luna Salada is an amazing place to stay in Uyuni - fireplaces all over, clean, cozy and luxury in the middle of nowhere! Five stars for a day filled with memories that will last a lifetime
