10/10 must do while in Peru

This is a 10/10 MUST DO experience while you are in Peru. We had the best day doing this and everything was so well organized. Everyone was so nice and everything is all taken care of for you. We had Diego as our tour guide and he was just the best and truly enhanced the experience. I cannot say enough good things about this tour and Diego. Do not skip this if you have the time!

Day Tour From Lima: Paracas, Huacachina, Pisco Vineyard & Sunset

An Unforgettable Experience with an Amazing Desert Sunset

This was truly an unforgettable experience! Our tour guide, Paulo, was very organized, provided clear instructions throughout the day, and did an excellent job managing and taking care of such a large group. We visited all the attractions exactly as described in the tour itinerary, and everything went smoothly. One of the absolute highlights was watching the breathtaking sunset over the desert dunes. It was such a magical and unforgettable moment! Paulo made the experience even more special by serving us wine while we enjoyed the beautiful sunset. It was the perfect way to end an amazing day. My only suggestion would be to allow a little more time in Huacachina to explore the town and take more photos around the beautiful oasis. It is such a unique place, and we would have loved to spend a bit longer there. Other than that, everything was well organized, and we enjoyed a pleasant and comfortable drive back to Lima. Overall, a fantastic and memorable experience that we would highly recommend! Special thanks to Paulo for his professionalism, excellent organization, and thoughtful touches that made this tour so enjoyable!

Enchanting night experience in Lima, Peru. Interesting being in the Catacombs while Mass was being held above in the church. Jean was a wonderful entertaining guide. Plaza mayor all lit up in different colors. Water fountain show was fun! Highly recommend this tour.

Great tour

A wonderful morning in the heart of Lima with a friendly and very knowledgeable guide. Everything went exactly as planned, from the hotel pick-up in the Miraflores district to tasting local specialties and visiting the city’s most important attractions.

Lima Ultimate Peruvian Food Tour

Glenda_M, Sept 2026

Great Way to learn about Peruvian Foods

Valerie was our tour guide. She was professional, but personable. She connected the food experience with culture and history in a creative and fun way. The only thing I’d say is if you do the Viator 7 hour “The Complete Lima Experience: History, Culture and Flavors” tour, some of the experiences are duplicated in the “Lima Ultimate Food” Tour. So, I would do one or the other next time. Both tours were great.

Money well spent

I travel quite a bit and I have to say Jesus was honestly one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had. His energy was infectious, he kept our spirits up from 5am to midnight and had us laughing throughout the tour. He was very knowledgeable and kept us well informed about our multiple stops and activities. He had a solution for basically every slight problem we could have and ensured the entire trip was seamless. He also is the best hype man and supporter when taking pictures lol. I would definitely recommend this tour company and if possible ask to have Jesus as your guide! All the other helpers we met along the tour were also very friendly and tried their best to make sure we were all having the best experience we could. I especially want to shout out our dune buggy driver for going above and beyond for our group. Thank you all so much you made this one of the best days of my trip in Peru (and I think my life)!!!

The Perfect Way to Experience Lima!

This tour was one of the highlights of my time in Lima! It was a small group of just four people - myself, another solo traveler, and a couple - which made the experience feel personal and relaxed. The itinerary was fantastic. We saw so much of Lima in one day, from the historic center and its fascinating history to the different neighborhoods, markets, and cultural highlights. Everything was thoughtfully organized, and the day had a great balance of sightseeing, history, culture, and food without feeling rushed. The food was another highlight. Everything we tried was delicious, and I loved that the tour incorporated local flavors and gave us the opportunity to experience Lima through its food as well. Our driver, Eduardo, was wonderful. The van was clean and comfortable, and Eduardo was professional, friendly, and an excellent driver. Having reliable transportation throughout the day made the experience so easy and enjoyable. But the absolute star of the tour was our guide, Claudia. She was truly exceptional. Claudia was knowledgeable, warm, engaging, and clearly passionate about Lima and its history. Her storytelling brought the places we visited to life, and she had a wonderful way of making everyone feel included and comfortable. She went above and beyond to make sure we were enjoying ourselves and getting the most out of the day. Claudia and Eduardo made an already excellent itinerary into a truly memorable experience. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Lima - and if you’re lucky enough to have Claudia as your guide, you’re in for a treat! Five stars all around!

Long drive but TOTALLY worth it!

The tour was great! Alvaro and Felix were great guides that were also very attentive to us throughout the trip. The hotel pick up and drop off were easy. The trip to Huacachina wasn’t bad since we had a couple of stops along the way. Huacachina and activities were AMAZING! We had so much fun on the buggies and sandboarding with Jhonny. The trip back is a bit long, but worth the trip. I previously read a review that was helpful to me prior to the trip: Stop 1 - Breakfast (not incl.) Stop 2 - Paracas around 9am for boat ride around Ballestos Island (90 mins) + walking around Paracas until around 11am Stop 3 - Ica at El Huarango around 12:30pm for Piscos + wine (incl.) + lunch (not incl.; about $20 a person, 65/s) Stop 4 - Huacachina around 3pm + sand buggies + sandboarding Around 4:30pm, long ride back to Lima (about 5 hours) - one stop at gas station around 7:30pm for snacks/bathroom Drop-Off around 9:45pm-10pm Highly recommend booking this tour! We had a blast and can’t stop talking about it. I’d only recommend the company to keep the A/C on because we got a little warm for such a long trip. But once again, our guides were great!
