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!

Peru hop is a great tour...

Peru hop is a great tour operator. Diego was an excellent guide - spoke English and Spanish and brought the jokes. The day starts super early and you head to Paracas. Keep your eye sharp for wildlife. Yes you will be on a boat. Take motion sickness a needed… Pisco winery tour is next. Samples were nice, but not much of a tour or lunch. Huacahina is a blast!!! Best part of the entire tour. The dune buggy and sand body boarding is a must. Buckle up! Sunset in the desert with the massive sand dunes feel out of this world. The bus ride back to Lima is a struggle… the traffic is no joke.

Get up close and personal...

Get up close and personal with sea lions!! Alex was an excellent and hilarious guide. Wet suit and life vest provided. Need swimwear to go under the suit. For those prone to motion sickness (like me…), might want to take something before heading out on the boat.

Paracas and Huacachina Exclusive Sunset Picnic Tour

Unforgettable Experience in Peru — Thank You Yoced!

Our experience was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Everything was organized perfectly and thoughtfully down to every detail — from the pickup to the drop-off. Both activities were unforgettable, but the dunes, buggy ride, and picnic truly became core memories for us. The views, adrenaline, and atmosphere were something special. A huge thank you to our guide, Yoced, who made the entire experience even better. He was incredibly organized, attentive, and always making sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time. One thing that really stood out was how he took the time to film each of us while sandboarding so we could fully enjoy the moment and still have memories to take home. It’s small gestures like that that make a huge difference. Because of people like Yoced, Peru truly has a heart. We will never forget this experience.

Lima Ultimate Peruvian Food Tour

Jorg_B, May 2026

Delicious Journey Through Peruvian Cuisine

I had a great experience on this Peruvian food tour with our wonderful guide, Valeria Adela Novoa Castro. The tour began at the operator’s office with an engaging presentation on key ingredients of the Peruvian kitchen, plus a tasting of chocolates made from cacao grown at different altitudes. From there we moved from restaurant to restaurant on a perfectly organized schedule—every stop was expecting us. Hygiene standards were excellent, and since we visited proper restaurants rather than street stalls, I felt completely comfortable enjoying dishes like ceviche, where freshness is essential. Everything we tasted was delicious. We also got to watch preparation demonstrations, including lomo saltado, which was especially impressive. This tour is on the pricier side, but given the quality, variety, and professionalism, it’s worth it. I ended the evening very full and very happy.

Peruvian Cooking Class, Local Market Tour & Exotic Fruit Tasting

Ayumi_N, May 2026

This was much more than...

This was much more than just a cooking class. I had a wonderful experience walking through the local market, learning about local ingredients, and tasting a variety of fruits I had never tried before. The cooking session itself was fun and easy to follow. Everyone was friendly and welcoming, and the whole experience felt very authentic. Highly recommended.

One of the best food tours we have done

Would highly recommend this tour, the food was fabulous and Arthur was an excellent guide. We learnt so much about the food and culture of Peru, in particular Lima. Ending the tour with a short walk around the artistic area was a perfect way to end the evening. We were a group of 11 which was the perfect size to get to know everyone over good food and drink. Arthur made sure that food and drink requirements were met at each restaurant without any fuss.

Best tour ever

Liz was an amazing tour guide and Thomas was a great driver. Liz was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole experience feel smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. She explained everything really well, kept the group engaged, and made sure we were comfortable throughout the tour. Thomas was professional, safe, and reliable on the road, which made a long trip feel much easier and more relaxing. Together they made this experience memorable, well-organized, and stress-free. I would definitely recommend this tour, especially with Liz as the guide and Thomas as the driver.

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.
