I totally recommend this tour for couples and adults groups, well coordinated, each activity is unique, so many different memorable experiences in one tour.
This tour was the last tour off our Peru vacation, and it was the best way to end our time in Peru. Everything works like clock work....all because of our brilliant tour guide Bianca. She did an amazing job at coordinating our pick up and drop off, the day before and arrived precisely when she said she would with the tour bus. Our group was a big one and everything went smoothly. Breakfast in Paracas was really good, with good healthy options, the boat tour was safe, spacious and comfortable and the captain took us and brought us back safely, after very nice sightseeing of penguins, sea lions and lots of birds. Though the drive was long to each tour the bus was pretty comfortable and we got to catch up on some nap time since the day started really early. Then, the Pisco lunch, it was included, in my opinion very good, portion size was more than enough, tasty and was local cuisine, very comfortable place to eat as well. The tour was short and sweet...it ended with a little tasting of the Pisco alcohol. After, we set off to Huacachina Oasis, there was a lot of people there but everything is catered for because we didn't have any waiting time. Bianca shared some interesting facts on a couple of items about Peru while one the way there, I appreciated this. This place was the best part of this tour in my opinion. My fiancé and I had a blast in the desert activities. The dune buggy ride was a thrill, we really enjoyed that. Then we did sand boarding, so much fun by the way, all the while Bianca and her assistant Angie was with us coordinating and making sure everyone and everything was getting done and being enjoyed so no one missed out on anything. Lastly the buggies took us to our picnic site which was so romantic and cozy in the open desert and we got to see our last Peru sunset. Everyone drank wine, enjoyed the charcuterie and just enjoyed each other's company. After the sunset set, we were taken back by the buggies, our driver Christian gave us such and enjoyable and thrilling ride throughout. We said our "see you next time to Huacachina" and journeyed back to our respective hotels safely. I would recommend this tour for couples and adults groups.
Our guide, Geraldine, was very punctual and attentive throughout the entire trip. I chose the three-day option: the first day was for the Ballestas Islands, followed by time to explore Paracas and a sunset walk. The second day included a visit to the distillery, sandboarding, and a sunset picnic. On the third day, I went hiking in the Canyon of the Lost (Cañón de los Perdidos), enjoyed some delicious local food, and returned to Lima. Traveling with Lima Experience is safe; they coordinate well with all the local guides, making the trip much more enjoyable. The bus is top-notch, and the service doesn't end until the last passenger has safely reached their accommodation.
Telling everyone how amazing this was!!! Best day in Peru in my opinion best way to spend my birthday
We went with Fernando, it was a pleasure to go with him... very attentive to everything!!!
A super complete and well-organized tour, our guide Bianka was the best, attentive and very professional, plus she provided us with a lot of information throughout the walk! You won't regret it 🇵🇪🤍
The tour was fantastic. The organization and punctuality were perfect. The guide Vivi demonstrated absolute control of the group which helped the tour flow easily. Her treatment was respectful, attentive, and very pleasant throughout the entire tour. The tour is 100% recommended. In our case, we substituted the visit to the Ballestas Islands for the visit to the Paracas National Reserve on ATVs and we loved it. The natural beauty of the views of the reserve in the month of July was unsurpassed. The experience visiting the Huacachina Oasis, sandboarding, and the dune buggy ride with our driver, Cristian, was full of pure adrenaline. Finally, the picnic to watch the sunset was spectacular. Peru has not disappointed me, and its people have been charming, especially our guide Vivi. Thank you and much success!! 🇵🇪
The guide Gia was very attentive and treated us very well at the end of the trip because our hotel was far away and she called the taxi for us herself.
We had such a wonderful time with Lima experience. We took a day trip to Paracas and Huacachina. Because we have young kids, we thought the full trip would be too much. They were very helpful in booking us a customizable private trip with a fantastic wonderful English speaking guide Geraldine. She was so helpful and wonderful and our drive was very comfortable and flexible. I highly recommend this company and if you can get Geraldine that will be a bonus for you.
Giovana Was a great guide overall great value and some beautiful sights along the way would recommend that’ll inclusive deal
