Top Lima Day Trips

This tour was seamless and absolutely worth the 3:45 a.m. wake up. Communication leading up was excellent. We knew exactly where to be an when. Our tourguide, Renzo, spoke fluent English and switched between Spanish and English to translate everything without being asked! Most persons on the tour were Spanish speakers but he ensured we felt totally looped in. The same should be said of the individual attraction guides - they all said everything twice - first in Spanish then English, just excellent. The bus was large, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was light and inexpensive. The boat ride was so relaxing, food at the beautiful winery excellent and the dune buggy ride and sanboarding exillerating. Plenty stops at clean restroom facilities. A note for solo travellers - we had 2 and by the end of day you would have thought they came with friends. People can be so kind and friendly. 10/10 highly recommended.

The trip was a fantastic opportunity to explore outside of Lima, and it was not disappointing. We did everything mentioned in the description. The bus was very comfortable/clean with an onboard bathroom. Our guide GIA was wonderful and kept us informed every step of the way and very friendly and knowledgeable. The boat ride was very nice, and the Chandelier Geoglyph was interesting to see from the water. I was a little underwhelmed for this being the “Galapagos” of Peru. We saw a few sea lions and birds but not much else. I can’t hold the company accountable for this though as that is the chance you take with wildlife viewing. The Pisco tour and tasting was very nice! We had a delicious lunch and enjoyed the show with a tour of the distillery and a visit to the tasking room and gift shop afterwards. Finally, we got to the oasis, it was beautiful and we really enjoyed our visit there before heading out to go dune bashing which was a pretty cool and exhilarating ride. Next, we did the sandboarding and finished with the sunset over the massive sand dunes after a quick snack and beverage service. Like many reviews I read that mentioned this before booking, this is a VERY LONG day trip. The 18hr length is if the whole day goes without issue. Our issue was traffic and road closures that we had come across because of a local parade. This part was unexpected, but we were allowed to leave the bus and watch the parade so that was very cool. However, all of this extended our day trip to close to 22 hours. We got picked up at 4:30AM and didn’t get back to our hotel until 2:00AM the next day. Just something to consider as much as we enjoyed the day trip overall, we were exhausted!!

This was a 10 out of 10. It’s a long day packed with Peruvian history, traditions and adventures. In Paracas we saw penguins, sea lions, many species of birds, and dolphins. The boat ride was lovely. Enjoyed the quick stop in the textile house and bought a beautiful hand made wall hanging. The lunch at the winery was a nice break from the activity and travel. It was interesting to see the fractional method if making Pisco. The tastings were also good. Then a quick drive to Huacachina. To see an oasis in the desert felt like a movie. The dune buggy was thrilling .. just fast and bumpy enough. Sand boarding was awesome and the sunset was breathtaking. Our guide, Oswaldo was the best. He had so much energy and made it fun with the themed music he brought. A great soundtrack for the day. Highly recommend.

A fantastic way to experience the highlights of Lima. Our guide Klaudia and driver Eduardo we excellent. I couldn’t recommend this tour more highly. Klaudia, was a wealth of knowledge and made the tour very enjoyable, if you want a great experience then this the tour , thank you for a great day.

The experience was excellent. It was a small group with a big bus. We were able to recline our seats as the bus was extremely comfortable. We enjoyed all three tours Ballestas Island, pisco and wine tour as well as Huachachina which was the best. Book with them for the best experience. We got a Hostel if we needed to change and freshen up as well....Great tour.

If you are coming to see Machu Picchu, add this to the list. A great opportunity to see a pre-Inka civilization. From 2800 BC, the pyramids and structures have amazing architecture and as well preserved. Johanna was an amazing guide with lots of information about history of Caral. The on-site facilities are impressive. An underappreciated archeological treasure the deserves more global attention.

We enjoyed our tour to Lima, which included a one and a half hour walking tour of the historical center. Our tour guide was amazing and helped us navigate a very busy historical centre given it was a national holiday. There was so much more to see than I had imagined. Lima’s historic centre is quite grand with most of it accessible on a pedestrian path. It was New Year’s Day, and everyone was out celebrating. I think we would’ve been lost without a guide. The bus to and from the historic centre was comfortable, although some conflict arose about seat switching, which had nothing to do with the tour company, but some very arrogant tourists on board became extremely aggressive and antagonizing to all the Latino tourists on the bus. My children and I were quite shocked and everybody was very uncomfortable with their aggression. This is not reflection on the company. We were on the upper deck and the guides were on the main deck.

What a great experience!!! Rodriquez was fun and informative. He sent us pictures after our experience. Thank you! Being able to be in the water, see the wildlife (PENGUINS!!!) and swim with the sea lions. Sure it may be a bit chilly at first, but any thoughts about being chilly goes away when you see curious beautiful sea lions swimming around you / don’t hesitate/ just do it!
