Great day of touring Lake Titicaca and Sillustani - We had a long but very pleasant tour on Lake Titicaca (Uros and Taquile) and then a quick walk thru Sillustani to view the stone tombs. Samuel was our guide and he was knowledgeable of the places we visited and explained a lot of the local culture and traditions. The day was a mix of travel and experiences at the locations. Definitely recommend this tour if you want to maximize your time in Puno and see as much as you can..

The Best Way to Spend a Day in Puno - Many thanks go to our wonderful guide, Samuel, for an awesome experience. The trip was outstanding and very well organized. Everything was great, from the hotel pickup all the way to getting dropped off at the end of a full day of incredible sights. The floating islands are touristy of course, but still worth seeing. Taquile was SUPER interesting, especially the people. And originally we thought we wouldn’t get to see Sillustani because of the protests, but the team made it happen, and we are so grateful! It was DEFINITELY the highlight. We would 100% recommend the tour and the Inca Lake team in particular. What a day!

Make sure you read my Review. - We had a great time on this tour with Hugo and Samuel We visited the island community in Urus, followed by a stop on the island of Taquile, where we had lovely lunch with views over Lake Titicaca. We then came back to Puno to take a quick trip to Sullustani to see the pre Inca and Inca burial sites. Highly recommend the tour.

Fabulous tour of titicaca and silustani - We spent a brilliant day visiting the islands of uros and taquille by speedboat then visited sillustani. The extension to sillustani was absolutely worth it. Our guide Samuel was really knowledgeable and made our day really interesting. Highly recommend.

Once-in-a-lifetime experience with the best guide, Samuel! - We enjoyed our day-long tour of the Uros Islands, Taquile, Lake Titicaca, and Sillustani so much! The tour picked us up at our hotel and took us to the port to board an enclosed speed boat bound for the Uros Islands. Samuel provided informative, individualized information to our group throughout the day, answering all of our questions and allowing us to take things at our own pace. Taquile was a highlight of the day, and our lunch on the island was incredible. Our favorite part of the day, however, came after we returned to port and Samuel and his associate Hugo took us to tour Sillustani. Samuel’s passion for what he does shines through and we could not have asked for a better guide-he went above and beyond throughout the day, even helping us to arrange affordable transportation to the Juliaca airport for our return flight to Lima. 11 out of 10 would recommend!

Good day trip, really interesting - The trip we went on didn’t include Sillustani. We had a great day. Anna, our guide was very knowledgeable and spoke good English. The Uros islands were interesting, and the people there very friendly. Did feel a bit pressured to buy souvenirs though. The trip to Taquile island was about an hour and a half on the motor boat, which was very comfortable. Once there we trekked to see some islanders give a dance display and learned about the typical dress. We saw some weaving and there was a chance to buy souvenirs if you wanted. We had a delicious lunch and then returned back on the boat to Puno. One downside was the lack of direction at the beginning of the trip at Puno port. Overall though we would recommend the trip.

Full day tour - Uros, Taquile and Sillustani - The tour is great opportunity to see the famous islands, local culture and people. For some travellers Uros islands may look like commercial ones prepared for tourists but for me it was real and unique. Islands are really made of totora roots and reeds, people are really living there and you can really go there only by boat. Amazing experience, this place is legendary, like from National Geographic programs. Taquile island was ok, nothing spectacular but when you realize that you are at island at Titicaca lake, you know it it a special place. And Sillustani - very magical place, ancient graves, beautiful landscape and sunset (even if it was raining before). You can find there a ramp built next to one of chullpas - a for me it explains a lot ;-) Our guide (I can't remember his name, sorry) was very nice and kind, told us many interesting facts. After boat cruise we took a car to Sillustani. We had short time but guide made everything on time so we couls see the spot. All tour was well organized, I recommend that company.
