Great tour with Mario - We did the Salar de Uyuni tour with Mario. He is a very good driver, guide and great photographer. We had a lot of fun and learned a lot about the salt lake and Bolivia. The tour with Mario is highly recommended!! We were so excited that we booked a second tour with him 🙂

An Amazing Day - We had a great day with our tour guide. Mario. He picked us up on-time and took us to see the Uyuni Salt Flat. He is very flexible and listened to our requests. He also took great photos for us and left great memories. At end, we called him Super Mario. So, if you decide to book a tour, ask for Super Mario to be your driver and guide.

Excellent support and impressive experiences, increase hard to imagine - We booked a private 3-day tour and already the communication with the staff in advance was very good. We were picked up on time at the airport, and over breakfast in the cafe we could discuss our wishes directly with the guide. Mario was a tour guide, driver, cook and photographer in one person and he did his many jobs excellent !! He was committed to impressing us with food and information far beyond the normal level. He was concerned at all times about our well-being, responded to wishes and did not strictly adhere to a schedule. Towards the end of the tour he even drove unplanned to a great viewpoint over Anaconda Canyon.
Back in Uyuni, our onward journey for the next morning was already organized by Trans Andino Tours, and we immediately received the bus driver tickets. We can highly recommend Trans Andino Tours and Mario!!

Moreover, all employees in this company always support on my lost passport in Uyuni. They took me to the police station and took me to the airport.

Amazing tour of Uyuni Salt Flats - Nelson is simply an amazing guide. He took his time with us and really illuminated the life of Uyuni and the salt flats. His answers to our (many) questions were grounded in science, or history, or mythology, or geology -- sometimes complex concepts that he made easy to understand.
Nelson is incredibly personable, with a great sense of humor, which made the 10-hour tour feel far shorter, and his service is top-notch. He really does go above and beyond to ensure you get the BEST experience out of the salt flats. We definitely did, and we have the photos to prove it.
We also want to mention Christian, our driver, who made the ride through the flats spectacular. He's clearly very experienced and enormously kind, as well.
We couldn't recommend Nelson and Christian more highly. They're exceptional at what they do.

Not recommended. Prices go up and car brakes down! - Not recommended! The price suddenly went up when we arrived in Uyuni and we ended up paying more than we had agreed on before with the operator. The tour was very nice actually but the car (very old and very rusty) broke down on the second day literally in the middle of the wilderness and we had to hitch rides back to Uyuni and almost missed our bus back to La Paz. ZERO apology from the operator for that and no refund for a tour that could not be completed as agreed. In fact the guys never ever responded again after this incident. The guide (Nelson) was great though! But I would never book again with such an unprofessional tour operator that clearly cares little for customers!
