Tipp: Don't book at Camel Tours. We were not satisfied with our driver Roberto, since he pushes very aggressively to keep the schedule. You'll have more then enough time at the market to buy souvenirs but will be urged to hurry up at the sights like salt flat, salt hotel or Geysirs. No sense of customer is king was visible :-(
Tour Guide Recommendation:

However, we were very satisfied with Quechua Tours. Here we booked a one day trip and had an excellent day. See for your self:
