We did the 3 day / 2 night salt flat tour with Red Planet and had Oscar as our guide and thought it was great. We had heard of numerous problems with salt flat tours (drunk drivers, no space in the jeep, rushed from site to site, very poor food and accommodation etc) but pleased to say that this company...

We booked our 3 day 2 night tour of the salt flats with Red Planet and it was a fantastic experience! Our driver/tour guide Obed was very knowledgable, reliable, helpful and friendly. He provided an excellent service, and most places we went to it was interesting to see the other tour groups left to their own devices by their drivers/guides... More

I had a three day salt flat tour in Uyuni with Red Planet. We started off in Uyuni at 11.00 (am) and ended back in Uyuni two nights after at about 16.00 (4 pm). The tour in general was great! Our guide, Israel, spoke perfect English and had a huge knowledge on the area, and Bolivia in general. Israel is... More

We toured with Oscar for 3 days in December. He is a very good guide. His English is excellent. He (and the scenery) made this part of our trip one of the most memorable. I agree with some other reviewers that food and accomodations are not top class but this is perhaps part of the adventure. People who worked in... More

We had a great time on the Salt Flats tour with our tour guide and 4 others in our jeep. I've forgotten the tour guides name but we felt very well looked after. Although he was younger, he was very knowledgeable and lots of fun to do the road trip with!! Thanks for an awesome time around Bolivia!

I did not end up going on a tour with this company, so I cannot comment on the tour itself (hence have only rated it a 4). However, I can say that their pre-tour service was very good. On the day of the tour the rest of the group I was supposed to join did not turn up due to... More

It’s hard to get a reliable Tour operator in Bolivia, especially for a trip (semi-expedition) of the lagoons and the salt flats. But this is the most serious one at the moment. May be it is one of the most expensive, but still much cheaper than the prices from San Pedro de Atacama in Chile, where the same thing is... More

We did the trip in last september. The cars were good, the organisation too and the guide (Oscar) is amazing, very enthousiastic, he really loves his job and his area. If you did the trip, I recomand to ask him. Everything was very well organized (the food is not a 3 stars but you are in the Salar and it... More

My sister and I just got back from a 3 week trip through Peru, Bolivia, and Northern Chile. Our tour with Red Planet was definitely a highlight of our travels. Though the itinerary changed a bit due to rainy season we were able to see so much of Southwestern Bolivia and enjoy the company of our guide Al and driver... More
