Full Day Tour From Lima: Paracas and Huacachina Oasis

Antonio_P, Apr 2026

Once in a lifetime experience

Juancho was a great tour guide!! He gave us plenty of time to get ready. One thing I would recommend is the take off in the morning was a bit delayed by other tourists. I could be wrong but I think situations where other passengers are waiting for another group to show up will unfortunately waste our time when visiting the oasis. It was a bit rushed at the end but overall and amazing experience and I would love to do it again.

Premium Paracas & Huacachina Day Trip from Lima with Sunset Toast

Sean_M, Apr 2026

Great Experience: Paracas & Huacachina

Aymeth (our guide) was engaging, energetic, responsive, and organized. She communicated the schedule and activities in English and Spanish and kept our attention with jokes, comments, and advice. Highly recommend her for other travelers to Lima. The trip overall was also really good! All the guides were knowledgeable, patient and professional. The Paracas Candelabra was beautiful, and the dune buggy and sand boarding were fun. I highly recommend this trip and feel that it’s worth the full day of travel.

Full Day Nazca Lines, Huacachina Oasis with Buggy and Sandboard

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!!!

Lima Ultimate Peruvian Food Tour

Chesna_H, Apr 2026

One and only Lima Food tour

Our Lima food tour with David was fantastic from start to finish. He began with a great introduction to the history of Peruvian cuisine, which made each stop even more meaningful at the office/shop. The cafe was a warm start, the stir-fried beef with Peruvian flavors was delicious . The next stop provided us with seabass ceviche was incredibly fresh and unforgettable. The pisco sour was truly an experience on its own at the local bar and sandwich spot. Ending at Blu with locally inspired fruit creations was the perfect finale. David was knowledgeable, engaging, and made the entire experience seamless. Highly recommend!

Full Day Paracas Ica and Huacachina from Lima All Included

Kelly_G, Mar 2026

Highly Recommended

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.

Luxury Private Paracas & Huacachina Tour with Sunset Picnic

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.

Visit the Sea Lions in Palomino Islands, in Lima Peru

Lora_D, Mar 2026

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Unforgettable...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Unforgettable sea lion experience in Lima Swimming with sea lions in the wild Pacific Ocean was honestly one of the highlights of our Peru trip with my daughter 💙 Everything was perfectly organized from the beginning. Our guide Rodrigo was amazing — so kind, professional, and always making sure we felt safe and happy. He even helped us take beautiful photos and videos so we could fully enjoy the moment. They provided comfortable wetsuits, which made a huge difference. I was honestly a little scared the Pacific would be freezing… but surprise — the water was absolutely comfortable! We swam around 10–15 minutes, laughing like little kids. The sea lions were incredibly friendly and playful, swimming so close to us. And the biggest bonus — we even spotted a penguin 🐧✨ Such a magical, once-in-a-lifetime experience I will never forget. Highly recommend this tour if you are in Lima — especially if you travel with kids or want a truly unique adventure. 💙

If you are coming to see Machu Picchu, add this to the list. A great opportunity to see a pre-Inka civilization.

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.
