    Zero communication whatsoever from the company. Went to the meeting point at the designated time & they never showed.

    Response from Host, Jul 2026

    Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are truly sorry to hear about the frustration this situation caused. After reviewing your reservation, we found that your booking was canceled through the booking platform due to a payment issue. As a result, the reservation was never confirmed, and we did not receive a valid booking to operate your tour. Because your reservation was made through Viator, all booking confirmations, payment notifications, cancellations, and related communications are managed directly through their platform. Unfortunately, once the reservation was canceled on their system, we were not authorized to reinstate or modify it. For this reason, your booking did not appear on our final confirmed passenger list for that day. We completely understand how disappointing this must have been, especially after arriving at the meeting point expecting to join the tour. We sincerely regret the inconvenience this situation caused. If you have any questions regarding the cancellation or the payment process, we recommend contacting Viator's customer support, as they have access to your booking and payment records and will be able to assist you further. We appreciate your understanding and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you on one of our tours in the future. Kind regards, Customer Experience Team Huacachina Oasis

    This was a long but...

    This was a long but enjoyable day. Jesus, our guide, was both knowledgeable and hilarious. He was good at keeping the group moving and in good spirits.

    Extremely Noisy bus ride

    Siu_L, Jun 2026
    The bus is old and so noisy on highway. The ride at the back of the bus is worse than sitting next to an jet engine. The vibration and engine noise make otherwise a fun trip a bad experience.

    Response from Host, Jul 2026

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the bus ride did not meet your expectations. We understand how important comfort is, especially on a long journey, and we regret that the noise and vibration affected your overall experience. Your comments have been shared with our operations team so they can review the vehicle used on your tour and ensure it continues to meet our service standards. We are constantly working to improve both the comfort and quality of our transportation. We truly appreciate your honest feedback, as it helps us identify areas where we can improve. We hope that, despite the discomfort during the journey, you were still able to enjoy the incredible destinations and experiences throughout the tour. Thank you for choosing Huacachina Oasis, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with an even better experience in the future.

    A very complete experience

    It is a very complete experience; bring sunscreen and water... the rest is provided by the organizers. In our case, Jesus the guide was very attentive to what we needed.

    ¡Muchas gracias por compartir su experiencia y por su recomendación! Nos alegra saber que disfrutó de un tour tan completo y que encontró todo bien organizado. Gracias también por el consejo para futuros viajeros; sin duda, llevar bloqueador solar y agua ayuda a disfrutar aún más la aventura. Nos hace muy feliz saber que **Jesús** estuvo siempre atento a sus necesidades y contribuyó a que su experiencia fuera cómoda y memorable. Compartiremos sus amables palabras con él; estamos seguros de que le alegrarán el día. ¡Gracias por elegir Huacachina Oasis! Esperamos tener el placer de recibirlo nuevamente en otra aventura por el Perú. 🇵🇪✨
