We could not have asked...

We could not have asked for a better experience than what we got. Everything was very organized and it was a smooth operation. Our guide, Rodrigo, was extremely knowledgeable, welcoming, and was an overall fun host. This was a well rounded experience from the personnel side to the incredible opportunity to admire and interact with the coastal wildlife including sea lions, penguins, dolphins, whales, and many more. This was truly an absolute pleasure.

Magical day for every age

This was absolute magic. We had three incredible once-in-a-lifetime experiences in one amazing day: take a boat and see sea lions in the pacific, take a dune buggy in a spectacular desert, and sand board down the dunes. My family of 26 left with a smile. Thank you to our guide Mar who was brilliant, our bus driver Miguel, and Alexander our Formula-1 dune buggy driver! Even my 84 year old dad did the dune buggy and loved it! Love from Florida, New York and Jamaica.

Premium Paracas & Huacachina Day Trip from Lima with Sunset Toast

appr1277, Jun 2026

Totally worth it!!!! Don't skip if on your list.

The day involves a lot of travel and an early start, so be prepared for a long excursion. However, the opportunity to experience both the ocean and the desert in a single day is something truly unique.The boat tour to the Ballestas Islands gave us the chance to see sea lions, penguins, and countless seabirds in their natural habitat. Huacachina was impressive..The dune buggy ride was an adrenaline-filled experience, racing up and down towering dunes that seemed endless. Sand boarding added even more excitement and lots of laughs along the way. Watching the sunset over the desert was the perfect ending, The almost flat reclining seats on the bus, allowed us to sleep comfortably on the way back. Marjorie was amazing, just enough interaction with the passengers, while giving everyone the opportunity to rest during the ride. Everything was well organized!

Was well organized well executed.

The tour is hosted by PeruHop who has a lot of experience running these tours. Everything was well organized, we had a clear idea of what is coming up. The optional activities were made very clear to us. Very good bilingual guides (was important to me as I only speak English as an international language). Would definitely go with them again.

Lima Ultimate Peruvian Food Tour

Danee_F, Jun 2026

Aura is dope - Food tour incredibly enjoyable

Aura was fantastic! We meet on time And after intros we ventured to our first stop which had s total of six stop. 1 - empanadas and cafecito. The empanada was incredible. Savory with a hint of sweet and the chicken filling was delicious. The coffee was perfection black. The spot, Luna Neuva, was so beautiful. A house turned coffee shop. So quaint with lots of little corners to duck into. 2 - fruit samples. We had passion fruit, bread fruit (so delicious and sweet), gooseberries, a tomato fruit (cant remember the name) and a few others then played a cute game to see id we could decipher if we could get the notes and we did! Aira said very few get it right so consider this a challenge! Its also a a co-op space with other artisans so we purchased chocolate, a beautiful lapel pin and a handmade figurine to represent flourishing. 3 - we had ceviche made in front of us with pickled pear juice. It was SOOOOOOO GOOD. I’d go back just for that. Wowwww! 4 - lomo saltado @ Nuna(?) and made in front of you! He calls his spot a laboratory and Hugo is so extremely passionate about his craft. The final two stops - one was a quaint and historic spot that had sandwiches and amazing pisco sours (semi-secco me please!) and a gelato spot. I wish I remembered the name of it. I enjoyed the cinnamon and straciatella but the salted caramel was insaneeeee! All in all, I can ot recommend this food tour enough. We strolled, laughed, took lots of photos and even played the punch buggy game. Aura again is an absolute GEM!

Paracas & Huacachina Day Trip from Lima with Sunset Experience

Simone_R, May 2026

Felt like 7+ experiences rolled into one very organized day

I think this was the best day trip I have ever experienced. It actually felt like there were 7 experiences rolled into one (Ballestas islands, Peruvian lunch, Pisco vineyard tour and tasting, seeing Huacachina oasis in person, the dune buggying, sand boarding, and then the bonfire). The tour group was extremely organized. Even though the day was long, there were periods of rest on the bus. The bus ride itself was surprisingly comfortable as the seats recline. I recommend bringing a neck pillow and eye mask to help with resting on the bus. Our guide, Momo, spoke both English and Spanish well and was very helpful. I am super impressed by the Peruvian hospitality. 10/10 recommend this tour!

Great tour of Pachacamac

Tour had both a guide and driver each with the name Jose. Both of them were very professional. The guide Jose provided a detailed education of the people and history. I learned so much. He always asked if I had any questions and he promptly gave answers. He took pictures of me when I wanted them. I highly recommend this tour.

This was a great...

This was a great experience. The staff was very friendly and provided an excellent video. I paid 20$ extra to have a 360 video instead of the standard video. The view of the ocean and the city was amazing. I would definitely recommend if the weather is nice and you have some spare time you won’t regret it.
