Loved my tour with Rimber. We had an amazing and diverse group, which the agency planned carefully to maximize the group dynamic. We visited all the highlights in Salar de Uyuni and the Altiplano. I opted for the private accomodation and I highly recommend it. The guide was happy the whole trip and made it a fun and exciting trip.Tour was great! The guide was super nice and could tell a lot of information. Only point of improvement could be the dinner. The dinner in both hostels was not nice and really really salt. Breakfast and lunch where great! Prepare for the cold and enjoy.

Klare Empfehlung für eine Tour mit Trans Andino! Wir haben eine 3Tage/2 Nächte Tour im Büro gebucht. Zahlung mit Kreditkarte war möglich (+3%), man sollte für weitere Eintritte und Toiletten noch ca 230bs dabei haben. Unser Guide war Rimber. Er war sehr nett, lustig und extrem zuverlässig. Er fährt sehr sicher und nicht zu schnell. Er macht tolle Fotos , geht auf alle Wünsche ein und leistet einen super Service! Die beiden Unterkünfte waren viel besser als erwartet, es hat uns an nichts gefehlt! Die erste Unterkunft hatte heißes Wasser umsonst, bei der zweiten kostet WiFi 20bs und eine heiße Dusche 15bs. Das Essen war immer toll, es gab genug für alle und das vegetarische Essen war auch immer sehr gut. Unsere Erwartungen wurden übertroffen! Wir hatten eine traumhafte Zeit in der Salar Uyuni!Después de nuestra último Tours hace 15 años, este a sido espectacular. Nuestro chófer y guía Rimber, nos a ayudado a disfrutar mucho de este Tours.
