Romario_W, May 2026

Excellent Tour!!

I can’t say enough about this amazing tour, they were amazing from start to Finish! Diego and Jose did such a great job of bringing us to the locations in comfort, I didn’t even feel the 4 hours as I was fast asleep. The activities were exhilarating! The dune buggy and sandboarding were my favorite! 10/10 recommend!

Lindsey_P, May 2026

Fantastic! Arturo was phenomenal

We had the best time. Everything was so organized starting a few days before, they adjusted our pick up based on a Lima event. The rest of the day was the same, organized, communicative and very very fun! Arturo was the perfect amount of involved without being over the top and his English/spanish translation skills are top tier for someone who speaks both languages. We had the best time at each location, it was just enough time to spend and be able to do/see all the things with it being rushed. The food that was provided was delicious and inexpensive and it was so awesome to have it already figured into the itinerary. The sand boarding was phenomenal and I almost didn’t do it, but was so happy I did! Highly highly recommend.

Full day experience with...

Full day experience with a lot of bus travel. Be sure to preorder breakfast and dinner when offered as you are moving constantly and won’t have time for a sit down meal. Great trip from a boat tour to a distillery for lunch with a pisco tasting and dune buggy rides with an opportunity to try sand boarding.

Peruvian Cooking Class, Local Market Tour & Exotic Fruit Tasting

Cook like a Peruvian!

This class was a really fun blend of food education (tour of the local market), cooking, and eating delicious food. Kevin was a great host, and Chef made cooking a fun adventure for the entire group. The team presented a few different menu options, allowing the group to decide the appetizer (we chose ceviche, of course!) and main course.

Lima Ultimate Peruvian Food Tour

Interesting, great!

The food tour was really good. Interesting information about the food and the city. The places we went to taste the food were interesting and fun. Our tour guide, Valeria, was excellent. Very personable, knowledgeable, attentive, organized, and spoke English very well. Our group was fun also. My husband and I had a difficult time getting to the meeting point in time because of a marathon that was on in our hotel area, so Valeria and the company communicated with us to keep in touch as to when we would arrive. We were going to be late so the company gave us the second stop address to meet the group and that worked out well. We were very glad not to miss this great 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!

Lima Gourmet Food Tour: Evening Experience

Amanda_E, Apr 2026

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.
