Really good company to go with, our tour guide Axel was brilliant and our driver Iceman was very professional and a great driver.

We took a shared group tour with Red Planet Expeditions towards the end of February 2025. We had a great time and saw many incredible views. Our tour guide, Claudia de Tarija, was amazing. She spoke excellent English and knew a bit of some other languages as well. We spent some of the time doing forced perspective pictures and videos which she organized and also taught us some Bolivian dance moves. I would definitely recommend this tour and Claudia as a guide.

We enjoyed the tour! It was a lot longer than we expected but it was great weather on the flats. Not as much rain during the rainy season haha but we still got some cool reflective shots and many with props they had and we brought. A delicious lunch on the actual salt flats and a beautiful sunset. The drivers were friendly and experienced, tour guide both English and Spanish. Went to a train graveyard, salt village with labyrinth and then the flats. Had some wine and chips at sunset. Only negative for me was the car was super tight and uncomfortable. Not a lot of ac, bring socks for boots they provide, and there aren’t too many spots to use the bathroom! Bring water but keep this in mind :-) easy pick up and drop off.. would def recommend this tour

we had a pleasant time there because of good weather: blue sky and the flats with a little water and a marvelous tour guide, who picked up the best place for taking pictures and having lunch. the experience is unusual.

This was an incredible tour! Our guide was very knowledgable, was able to answer all of our questions, and spoke great English. Highly recommend!

I purposefully searched for a high rated company through which to book this tour, because i wanted the experience to be as smooth and comfortable as possible. There was a lot of waiting about in the office, and some confusion at the start of the day, while various different trips and transport were organised. I specifically asked for the trip to be in Spanish since my partner does not speak English, but it was all in English delivered by the driver of the other vehicle. Our driver did speak Spanish but hardly said a word because the other passengers were English speaking. After the train graveyard, we were taken to get welly boots which we would need for the location of the sunset. It was a free for all, and the closest we could get to our correct sizes (each of us take a size 40) were sized 37 and 44 boots. For the money I spent, I would've expected to have been asked beforehand what shoesizes we are. Obviously this made watching the sunset not as comfortable and perfect as we were expecting. The drive was smooth and it was nice to chat to the others in the group. The salt hotel was nice and lunch very tasty. Cactus Island was extraordinary, but as at train graveyard, the guide just disappeared and offered no explanation as to how the island formed, etc. Other groups had a guide with them going round the island explaining the archaeology. The highlight was the stop for funny photos and videos. The guide was a real expert and gave us a lot of help taking funny perspective shots and directed a hilarious video with all of us in it. We got back to Uyuni at the expected time, and it was a great experience overall. As said, my only disappointments were: - not in Spanish - ill- fitting boots - no background information on graveyard cemetery / cactus island / or indeed the salt flats themselves

Excellent service from start to end. Really nothing we can complain about; communication was straight forward, the guide was very friendly, the drive & the car war safe and we had a great group. The scenery was undoubtedly the most beautiful I've seen in my life, 5*!

We did our day excursion to the Salar of Uyuni with the agency Incahuasi. This was a great experience from the first moment until the end. They provided us with a driver called Armando who also works for Sol de Mañana. He did such an amazing job that we would like to write a review also directly for him. He was fully involved and made all efforts to make us happy. He took amazing and funny pictures of us in the Salar. We will thus have super memories and souvenirs of our day in the Salar of Uyuni. Since we heard many bad reviews of drivers who just leave you at some place to get by on your own, it is important to know that there are drivers who take their job really seriously. Thank you very much again Armando for this unforgettable trip and for the great job you did.
