siempre te mandan a un guía, el guía muy bien con su explicación en español e inglés, siempre atento a los usuarios, lago Titicaca magestuoso

A nice tour in itself, but very commercial. Lunch was terrific, as was the boat trip. The bus ride was okay, unfortunately the ventilation was broken and there was hardly any oxygen. Unfavorable for an 8 hour drive. After arriving in Puno we had to wait 2.5 hours in the entrance area of a hostel until the tour started. During the tour there is a lot of pressure to buy things - both on Uros and at lunch. Overall, I find this tour too expensive considering you can get the same excursion from Puno for $ 10.
