I enjoyed every moment of my tour to the islands of Lake Titicaca. Abel was the guide and he was very nice in explaining things and was very calm and patient. Uros floating island was truly a different place on earth, just few miles away from Puno, the culture changed dramatically. The hike up the hill in Taquile was somewhat difficult but do-able. The lunch was little but delicious. We also saw a folkloric dance performance by locals here.

We had a nice time visiting the two islands on this tour. Uros floating islands were a bit touristic but it was a nice experience getting an insight into the local family’s way of life. Our guide was Fausto and he explained everything in detail and also spoke good English.

Interesting learning about the construction of the floating houses and lifestyle of inhabitants. But after that we felt like a commodity (people on the island looking for any opportunity to sell you something, whether that is "traditional boat" or using toilet). I wouldn't recommend the additional traditional boat, you go half way across by oar and then a motorised boat ties itself to the traditional boat and motors the rest of the way. Lunch was good, and the island you visit is very nice. Felt very Mediterranean for any Europeans. Would recommend if you've got limited time. If got longer, opt for staying on the island.

We truly enjoyed this full day Lake Titicaca tour. It took us to two different islands, the first one was the iconic floating islands of Uros and then a bit longer boat ride to Taquile Islands. The hike from the pier to the centre of the island was 45 minutes uphill, glad we carried our walking sticks. The views were absolutely amazing though. The lunch served here was very delicious as well. Ruben, our tour guide was very nice and was very Knowledgeable and also spoke perfect English.

Great and informative tour of Uros islands with a great visit to one of them and plenty of time to take in the sights. The visit to Taquila island was stunningly beautiful and we enjoyed a delicious lunch with spectacular views of the lake and Bolivian snow covered mountains in the background. Highly recommend this tour!

I recently took a tour of Lake Titicaca and thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. We visited the Uros community, where we had the opportunity to learn in depth about their unique lifestyle, traditions, and culture. It was fascinating and truly enriching. Afterward, we returned to the boat and continued on to the Taquile Highlands, which offered stunning views and a deeper connection to the local heritage. Overall, it was an engaging and memorable journey that I would highly recommend.

A very positive experience from start to end. Yurema assisted me with the booking process and she was very knowledgeable and friendly. On the day of the tour, i was picked up on time from my hotel and the guide was very knowledgable and friendly. Ruben, our guide, was very patient and considerate given the fact that I was still feeling a bit unwell due to altitude and was slow to hike up to Taquile. Overall, I had the best experience and I totally recommend the tour company and the tour.
