Interesting but too much tourist focused - Interesting to see how the Uros live, but you need to know ehat you are buying, is a bit too much turist oriented, but all of these tours are quite the sama, good for 1/2 day.

Beautiful Islands but Sketchy Company - The Uros islands themselves are super cool and the boat ride over there was beautiful. However, this tour was not what I expected. To start, it was just me and a guide who spoke barely any English. There were also some hidden costs. I knew it was 10 soles extra to ride in the traditional boat, but I didn’t realize it would cost me 10 soles to experience Taquille island. Also, my transport back was supposed to be included but they tried to charge me 10 soles for that as well, which I refused to pay. Overall, it’s a stunning boat ride and my guide was very nice, but this company was not transparent with me and I didn’t appreciate that.

very helpful guide and good experience - the guide let someone pick me up from the hotel punctually. Though it was chilling but visiting the floating island is a good experience. At least I did feel the "floating". The guide speaks good english and overall introduced things clearly.

Uros - We were dropped off at a tourist trap and we felt very pressured to purchase a boat ride that wasn’t included in our booking. The tour guide did provide us with interesting information. We were hoping to get the opportunity to explore more.

Very strange - The experience made us feel uncomfortable as there was quite a lot of pressure to buy things and some of the islanders looked embarrassed having to ‘perform’ for tourists. It felt voyeuristic and exploitative. However, The guide was good and also the transport/organisation.
