This trip was excellent! They met us at the planned spot exactly at the agreed time. They thought of everything (including snacks for the road!) and were available on Whatsapp throughout to answer questions. Maribel, the guide, was knowledgeable and fun. I felt that this was the perfect amount of time to see the salt flats. The only thing that would have been helpful to know ahead of time is that the bus ride from Sucre to Uyuni (and back) is a shared coach bus with others who are traveling to Uyuni for other reasons and it is quite cold - layer up! There is also no bathroom on board. That said, I highly recommend this trip and this tour company!
