AMAZING TRIP, BOOK NOW! - This is THE TOUR to take. I cannot recommend this trip enough! From the start, it was very organized with email confirmation. The day before, a WhatsApp chat was made with those on the trip and the guide. The guide shared what to expect for the tour which was very helpful. The entire day was very on time and executed in a way that was completely relaxing for me and my partner! From seeing sea lions and penguins, to pisco tasting, to riding around in the dunes in Hucachina, to our AMAZING tour guide Aaron… this was our favorite tour in all of Peru! Don’t hesitate to book!

A must do!!! - A must do while in Peru. Be prepared for a long day, but so worth it. Every stop was incredible and the afternoon/ sunset in Huacachina was amazing. Our guide Fernando was great, he communicated with us every step of the way, and made the day very enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour, do not miss it!!

Unmissable experience close to Lima - Probably the greatest tour outside of Lima. From start to end of day you will be constantly having fun and get to know very different environments that are part of Peru. Our tour guide, Fernando, was always happy to assist everyone on the group, and would tell us very interesting facts about the places we've been. At every activity of the day, he would be by our side. Start the day by getting picked up from your hotel in Lima, then go on a very interesting boatride an see local fauna in Paracas. Stop by a local wineyard and have great food and taste different types of Pisco. At the end of the day, you go on an amazing thrilling ride on a sand buggy and then go down the dunes using a sandboard, finally, you get to witness what I can say was the best sunset I've ever seen. None of this would have been possible without Lima Experience. There is nothing I can think of to make the experience better.

Simply fantastic! - This was an incredible tour all around, from the wildlife of Isla Ballestas to the dune buggy ride in Huacachina. And I can’t say enough good things about the team at Lima Experience. Fernando was the perfect guide - both enthusiastic and knowledgeable. This tour has a lot of moving pieces, but with Fernando and team everything was flawless. This is a must-do for any trip to Peru. It was definitely one of the highlights of our trip! PS: If you’re nervous about the sand boarding, just do it. You won’t regret it. :-)

Unforgettable - An unforgettable experience. The most organized tour company I have found in years. From the pick up they sent the location in real time, at each stop George, the guide who deserves a special mention for his extraordinary work, explained in detail in perfect Spanish and perfect English so that we could all enjoy it. If you are in Lima, dedicate a day to this experience.

Best Tour Guide Nilo - I had the pleasure of exploring Paracas, Islas Ballestas, and Huacachina Oasis in Peru with the exceptional tour guide Nilo. Nilo's personable nature, extensive knowledge, and sense of humor truly enriched my travel experience. His recommendations for places to visit and eat were spot-on, showcasing his deep understanding of the local area. One of the highlights of the trip was a sandboarding day at sunset organized by Nilo. Not only did he ensure a thrilling and unforgettable experience, but he also captured amazing pictures that perfectly encapsulated the beauty of the moment. I also loved seeing all the different animals in their natural habitat. Thanks to Nilo's guidance and expertise, my journey through these stunning destinations was truly memorable. I highly recommend Nilo as a tour guide for anyone looking to explore the wonders of Peru with a knowledgeable and engaging companion.
