Tour was good but the additional transport charge was a let down
The tour was very informative and good. The guide Luis provided us with a very good narrative and history lesson on the civilization and Uros culture and people. We throughly enjoyed the tour and lunch. However, I must say I was disappointed when the tour operator contacted me and asked for additional transportation charge of $60 Soles for a pickup to and from my hotel Sonesta which about 3 km from the tour pickup point. I don't mind paying but the going rate for such a short distance is $30 soles to and fro but they wanted to double charge me. This sort of behaviour of ripping off tourists has to stop. In the end I decided to call my own taxi and paid $30 soles for a return trip from my hotel to the harbour.

Good day trip, hidden costs
Hi! We had an amazing day with great guides and the lunch was amazing. However, we were disappointed that it wasn’t noted prior to going on the boat that we would need 15 soles for the traditional boat ride. We felt pressured to pay this with being told it’s their only source of income for the month and when I asked if we had to go on we were told umm no but you will have to sit here by yourself and then the boat will be delayed as we will need to come pick you up which made us feel extremely pressured. Considering we already paid a lot of money for the day it was disappointing.

Disappointing tourist trap!
Having done the 4-day Inca Trail and heard so much about the importance of Lake Titicaca in Inca mythology, it was a great disappointment to be shown typical tourist-trap material (eg local women in costume singing “You are my sunshine…”, stalls selling similar goods to anywhere else, “traditional” reed (?) boats that tourists were strong-armed into taking for an extra charge, …) The community of Puno and Lake Titicaca are really missing an opportunity by ignoring what is known about the importance of the area, and it is insulting as a tourist truly interested in the region to be treated in such a way.
