Un tour muy bueno y recomendable, se aprende mucho de la forma de vida de los Uros y los habitantes de la isla Taquile. Es fascinante ver como estando tan cerca unos de otros tienen diferentes formas de vida. Muy completo tour, muy agradable el trayecto en los barcos designados, con vista y asientos cómodos. Muy buen almuerzo en la isla Taquile. Nos sentimos bien acogidos y aprendimos mucho Translate this opinion into English.

A very good and highly recommended tour. You learn a lot about the way of life of the Uros people and the inhabitants of Taquile Island. It's fascinating to see how, despite being so close to each other, they have such different ways of life. A very comprehensive tour, the journey on the designated boats was very pleasant, with good views and comfortable seats. Lunch on Taquile Island was excellent. We felt very welcome and learned a great deal. Opinion translated. Show original.

Tappa obbligatoria se si visita Puno. Visita a una delle isole Uros e consiglio di optare poi per il trasferimento con la loro imbarcazione tipica, con 15 soles l'esperienza merita. Pranzo molto buono e complimenti alla guida che ha saputo prendersi cura del gruppo. Translate this opinion into English.

A must-see if you're visiting Puno. Visit one of the Uros islands and then opt for the transfer on their traditional boat; at 15 soles, the experience is worth it. The lunch was delicious, and kudos to the guide for taking such good care of the group. Opinion translated. Show original.

Visita totalmente imprescindible en Puno. Nuestro guía fue Walter, nativo de las islas, lo que fue un privilegio. Es muy sorprendente el modo de vida de los Uros, merece muchísimo la pena poder acercarse a este pueblo. Navegar por el lago es una maravilla, recomiendo hacerlo en la cubierta superior del barco. Translate this opinion into English.

A must-see in Puno. Our guide was Walter, a native of the islands, which was a privilege. The Uros way of life is truly remarkable; it's well worth the visit. Sailing the lake is wonderful; I recommend doing so on the upper deck of the boat. Opinion translated. Show original.

Um dos melhores tours que fiz no Peru. As ilhas flutuantes são lindas e a cultura deles é extremamente interessante. A ilha de Taquile possui uma magia a parte, e o almoço estava delicioso. Um agradecimento especial ao guia Richard que fez nossa experiência muito melhor. Um guia que parece realmente gostar do que faz, muito gentil e amável com todos, nos deu tempo extra para conhecermos os lugares, não pareceu em nada um tour robotizado. Fiquei muito feliz com tudo! Translate this opinion into English.

One of the best tours I've taken in Peru. The floating islands are beautiful, and their culture is incredibly interesting. Taquile Island has a magical atmosphere, and the lunch was delicious. Special thanks to our guide, Richard, who made our experience so much better. He seemed to genuinely enjoy what he did, was very kind and personable with everyone, and gave us extra time to explore the sites. It didn't feel robotic at all. I was very happy with everything!

El guía fue perfecto. Muy amable con todos y atento, trato muy próximo y amigable. La actividad a las islas flotantes nos encantó. Taquile te permite conocer otro entorno y vale la pena la excursión y la comida. Un día completo y compartido con personas locales que te hace conocer sus vidas y sus culturas. Muy aconsejable. Translate this opinion into English.

The guide was perfect. He was very kind to everyone and attentive, very approachable and friendly. We loved the floating islands activity. Taquile allows you to experience a different environment and is well worth the trip and the meal. A full day spent with locals who give you an insight into their lives and cultures. Highly recommended. Opinion translated. Show original.

Todo muy bien, el guía, la embarcación. Uros nos gustó mucho. Pero Taquile fue demasiado viaje para una isla totalmente comercial. Vinos un baile típico con lindos trajes y artesanías y luego almuerzo en uno de los “42” (literal) restaurantes de la isla. No nos valió la pena. Translate this opinion into English.

Everything was great, the guide, the boat. We really liked Uros. But Taquile was too much of a trip for a completely commercial island. We had wine, a traditional dance with beautiful costumes and handicrafts, and then lunch at one of the island's "42" (literally) restaurants. It wasn't worth it. Opinion translated. Show original.

La organización para desplazar del hotel al muelle un desastre. Tras llamar varias veces me recogieron 45’ tarde y de milagro. No voy a entrar en más detalles Luego en el barco había más personas que había sido ni tan grave pero similar. La excursión muy bien y el guía agradable.

The arrangements for getting from the hotel to the dock were a disaster. After calling several times, they picked me up 45 minutes late, miraculously. I won't go into further details. Later, there were more people on the boat, which wasn't as serious, but similar. The excursion was very good, and the guide was pleasant.

Las islas de Uros son interesantes, aunque me pareció muy artificial. Taquile carece de interés turístico. Navegamos dos horas solo para comer trucha (no muy rica), ver bailar durante 5 minutos a un grupo de habitantes de la isla y pegarnos una caminata a pleno sol hasta el muelle.

The Uros Islands are interesting, although I found them very artificial. Taquile lacks tourist attractions. We sailed for two hours just to eat trout (not very tasty), watch a group of island residents dance for five minutes, and take a walk in the full sun to the dock.

Sentimos si la organización del tour no ha cumplido con lo esperado. Tendremos esto en cuenta de cara a mejorar el servicio que ofrecemos. Translate this opinion into English.

Actividad enriquecedora y bien organizada para conocer de cerca las costumbres de las dos poblaciones indígenas del lago. Muy contentos con el guía, que conocía perfectamente las tribus y explicó detalles muy interesantes sobre su cultura. Habríamos apreciado que en la descripción del tour mencionase el traslado de 1:40h hasta la isla de Taquile para así prepararnos y aprovechar este tiempo (personalmente habría traído un libro) Translate this opinion into English.

An enriching and well-organized activity that gave us a close look at the customs of the lake's two indigenous communities. We were very pleased with the guide, who was extremely knowledgeable about the tribes and explained very interesting details about their culture. We would have appreciated the tour description mentioning the 1:40-hour transfer to Taquile Island, so we could have prepared ourselves and made the most of this time (personally, I would have brought a book).

Nos ha sorprendido mucho. Si bien es cierto que es muy turístico y hay momentos de aglomeración de gente, después la gente se dispersa y es una experiencia super auténtica. Nos ha parecido muy bonito y una manera de acercarte a las personas locales. Como sugerencia, haría barcos en español y otros en inglés para no tener que escuchar la misma explicación dos veces y para mejorar la experiencia. Translate this opinion into English.

We were very surprised. While it's true that it's very touristy and there are times when it's crowded, afterward, the crowds disperse, making it a super authentic experience. We found it very beautiful and a way to get closer to the locals. As a suggestion, I would take boats in Spanish and others in English so you don't have to listen to the same explanation twice and to enhance the experience. Opinion translated. Show original.

Amaneció lloviendo así que cambiaron la ruta para visitar primero Taquile y después los Uros.Todo un acierto porque después despejó y pudimos ver una vistas súper bonitas del lago Titikaka y de fondo las montañas de Bolivia. El inconveniente que tuvimos que comer pronto para poder seguir hacia los Uros. Fantástica y muy curiosa la visita y la explicación de sus costumbres y modo de elaborar sus viviendas y crear la isla. Gente muy agradable. Los guías muy profesionales y pendientes de nosotros. Translate this opinion into English.

It was raining in the morning, so they changed their route to visit Taquile first and then the Uros. It was a great decision because it cleared up afterward, and we were able to see superb views of Lake Titicaca and the Bolivian mountains in the background. The only drawback was that we had to eat early so we could continue on to the Uros. The visit and the explanation of their customs and the way they build their homes and create the island were fantastic and very interesting. The people were very nice. The guides were very professional and attentive to us. Opinion translated. Show original.

En general la actividad fue buena, especialmente en Taquile; sin embargo, creo que las actividades en las islas de Uros son muy breves y no hay mucho que ver, quizás nos tocó mala suerte porque en la mañana llovió y tuvimos que hacer la actividad regresando; todos visitamos una sola isla y no pudimos convivir de cerca con la comunidad (que era el objetivo principal), solo nos vendieron sus productos y nos dieron un mini viaje en el Mercedes Benz, que quizás pueda ser mas largo. Translate this opinion into English.

Overall, the activity was good, especially in Taquile; however, I think the activities on the Uros Islands are very brief and there isn't much to see. Perhaps we were unlucky because it rained in the morning and we had to return. We only visited one island and weren't able to interact closely with the community (which was the main objective). They only sold us their products and gave us a short trip in the Mercedes Benz, which could have been longer. Opinion translated. Show original.

Todo perfecto. El guía Efraín fue súper excelente. Desde el recogido al hotel, la transportación al muelle, la lancha, la explicación, la comida, en fin todos. Efraín fue el mejor guía que tuve en toda mi estadíaen Perú. Viajé con un niño de 11 años y se disfrutó todo el tours. Translate this opinion into English.

La actividad en si está muy enfocada al turista. Si bien no se puede realizar de ningún otra manera. La experiencia de conocer a una famila que vive en los uros, que te muestran su hogar, te vistas con ropas típicas, es encantadora. No me gustó tanto que se nos pidieran propinas por todo. Propina por usar una embarcación, propina por el músico que te toca dos canción antes de subir al barco, propina por navegar... Es una excursión recomendable y el guía fue muy agradable. Translate this opinion into English.

The activity itself is very tourist-oriented, although it cannot be done in any other way. The experience of meeting a family that lives among the Uros, who show you their home, and dressing you in traditional clothes, is lovely. I didn't like that much that we were asked for tips for everything. Tips for using a boat, tips for the musician who plays two songs for you before you get on the boat, tips for sailing... It is a recommendable excursion and the guide was very nice. Opinion translated. Show original.
