Tour Reviews
was beautiful experience, the floating islands (Uros) are spectaculars.
The landscapes are one of the most beautifuls that I had never seen before.
Was unique we had never seen something like this, we were impressed.
The landscapes took my breath away
We are very happy to have chosen this tour.
The Uros Islands are unique and the landscape matchless.
Very beautiful spot
The food was very good and healthy, if you visit Perou it is a place that I could not miss in your visit
We took private Titicaca full day all inclusive tour. Very well organized. Perfect guide. Perfect boat. We have visited small and less touristy floating island (we were the only visitors of the island) and met very friendly local people. Taquile island was interesting as well, though here we went along with the whole flow of tourists.
This tour is amazing, our guides and boat were very professional. All the guides spoke amazing english and did not hesitate to answer our questions. Visiting the Uros floating islands was the highlight of the trip for me. The locals were exceptionally friendly and encouraged us to dress up in their traditional clothes. Driving the boat through Lake Titicaca to Traquile Island provided amazing views of the lake. Our visit to this island was very interesting. The guides provided a huge amount of information of the lifestyle on the island. Lunch was cooked by a local family on the island and was abosolutely delishish. On the boat ride back to Puno you have the option to stay the night on the floating islands, which looked amazing.
The lake titicaca is awesome we wished to have more time to visit more islands.
This is like classic tour so was a little bit touristy, we tried to book the less touristy option but there was no enough applicants, but was enjoyable as well.
