What are people saying about Lima

Marlene_S, Apr 2026

Long day & 14hrs of...

Long day & 14hrs of driving but oh so worth it! Our 30 mins flight over the lines was well explained by our guide & we were also given an aerial map of where the main designs were so it was easy to follow. And we also made a stop to see some of the Palpa lines, which are visible from the road. Huacachina oasis was also incredible & the buggy ride over sand dunes a lot of fun, with a stunning sunset to wrap it all up! 3.40am start, 7hrs driving (one way) & an 11pm return was definitely worth it!!!

Full Day Tour From Lima: Paracas and Huacachina Oasis

SATYA_V, Apr 2026

Amazing experience

We had a truly wonderful time on the Full Day Tour From Lima: Paracas and Huacachina Oasis! From start to finish, the trip was well organized, smooth, and packed with unforgettable experiences. The landscapes were stunning, and everything ran efficiently, making it a great way to explore these incredible destinations in a single day. A special shoutout to our tour guide, Lizbeth, who was absolutely exceptional. Her English was excellent, and she demonstrated true professionalism, enthusiasm, and care throughout the trip. She communicated everything clearly with step-by-step instructions, making the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. She truly went above and beyond — she deserves a raise! The only downside of the trip was with the sandboarding/dune buggy upgrade. We paid for a 2-hour experience, but only got one round of sandboarding, which was disappointing. There was no clear communication about this, and that part of the tour felt rushed compared to the rest of the day. Aside from that, everything else was fantastic, and we still had an amazing time overall. With a bit more transparency and better execution on the upgraded experience, this tour would be absolutely perfect. Highly recommend the tour — and especially Lizbeth! 👏

Lima Ultimate Peruvian Food Tour

Emma_T, Mar 2026

Best food tour!

This tour was an amazing experience! The tour guided us through a typical Peruvian breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert, and included a Pisco sour at an old school bar! Definitely come hungry! I liked how the tour was spaced out with breaks to learn about the history and view the street art of Barranco to give ourselves a chance to digest. It was also super neat to watch the cooking demonstrations of Lomo saltado and ceviche! Lastly, our tour guide, Paola, was an absolute delight! She was full of knowledge and was so personable.

Premium Paracas & Huacachina Day Trip from Lima with Sunset Toast

Sai_N, Mar 2026

Amazing tour with Peru Hop

Premium option with this tour only allowed us to pre select seats in the bus but didn’t get any free cocktail as mentioned in the booking details. So, a regular booking should just be fine if you are OK with seating as first come first served basis. Tour with Peru Hop was amazing. Itinerary was followed as mentioned without any hiccups. Tour guide Carlos did a fantastic job explaining stuff, accommodating food and cheering us up. Definitely recommend Peru Hop!!

Paracas and Huacachina Exclusive Sunset Picnic Tour

ANTHONY_D, Mar 2026

Great Day Trip from Lima

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!!

Paracas & Huacachina Full Day from Lima : Sunset Experience

Leslie_D, Mar 2026

The best day ! So many awesome adventures.

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.

Epic Paracas & Huacachina - Day Trip From Lima

Samantha_S, Mar 2026

The experience was...

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.

Marcahuasi Experience in Lima

Denise_C, Feb 2026

Carlos - The Ultimate Guide

Wow - what a day we had! We cannot recommend Carlos highly enough as the ultimate guide. This was an unforgettable experience into the mountains, and a first taste of The Andes, with a dramatic drive up to Marcahuasi at 4,000m....through hills, gorges, across the fast flowing river below and a final stop at the last town before the summit - San Pedro de Casta. A chance to meet some locals and get a feel for the way that they live. So meaningful to see happy and contented locals living out their totally natural and happy existence and way of life. Carlos is well known on this drive and clearly liked by everyone. He takes time to talk to everyone he passes with a smile and a wave. He is also happy to give locals a lift from San Pedro de Casta to the top of the mountain to tend their cattle (for them only a short trip of 15 mins rather than a 2 hour walk) if he has room in his great Toyota Land Cruiser, that can happily handle any on road or off road challenge. At the top we experienced total peace and tranquility - truly the quietest place we have been on this earth. Amazing. We then spent a glorious and relaxed 2 hours on a gentle walk taking in the breathtaking views, lagoon, ancient rock formations and ruins of a village dwelling from over 1,000 years ago. Departing Lima at 5am to avoid the heaviest traffic, the 3.5hr journey to the summit went in no time. Incredible scenery and a great education and commentary provided by Carlos the whole way. A most memorable experience and how lucky we were to have found Carlos - amazing to have full access to this magical place. Thank you Carlos - never to be forgotten.

Caral, The Oldest Civilization in the Americas:Day Trip from Lima

BryanLeaver, Feb 2026

Experience the first known civilization of the Americas

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.

City Tour Panoramic Bus Departure From Larcomar

Natasha_M, Jan 2026

Great Way to Visit Lima

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.

Visit the Sea Lions in Palomino Islands, in Lima Peru

Amy_B, Dec 2025

Worth it!

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!
