          Great tour
          We got a city tour with Roxanna and Diego. It was only me and two of my friends and Roxanna was more than willing to answer all of our questions especially when it came to the monastery.

          Amazing tour, 11/10
          This tour was absolutely unreal. Super long day but it’s worth the early wake up. Every stop was amazing in its own way. We booked this for Huacachina but Paracas and Ica were equally as amazing. Can’t recommend this enough.

          Top level excursion out of Lima
          Top level excursion out of Lima. Be prepared for a very long day with fun and adventures and learning some things about the local area. Wildlife viewing at the islands was great. Learning about the Pisco brewing practices and the sampling some was a good relaxing break. The dune buggy experience was thrilling like riding a sand roller coaster. Warning it is not for the faint of heart. The sand boarding is not as you would expect (it's not really like snowboarding on sand... More like sledding on your stomach down a steep dune at high speeds) but still fun nonetheless. Just know it is a very long day and some minor delays may occur due to group size but the host and driver are hard working and friendly people so it should be a great overall experience. Highly recommended from a traveler that has been all over.

          Loved it
          The trip was amazing! We had a great time, especially at the pisco tasting and the Huacachina dessert. The only downside is the length of the trip which starts at 4am, but was totally worth it.

          The tour was amazing!
          I learned a lot about the history of Lima, I visited San Francisco church and I love that, at first it was a little bit scary, nevertheless I really like the experience. Then I taste a delicious Peruvian dish called Lomo saltado. Also the guide Ricardo was friendly and helpful all the time. I recommend taking this tour, you won’t regret it!

          Great city tour with Ricardo and David
          We had a great city tour of Lima with Ricardo and David, our driver. It was our first opportunity to see the city after arriving, and Ricardo was very knowledgeable about all aspects of language, history, and culture. We really enjoyed the day, and gave us an idea of other things we’d like to do and see during our 2 weeks in Lima. Thanks guys!!

          Amazing full day experience!
          For sure my favorite part of my Peru trip! To start, the fact that they picked me up/dropped me off from right outside my hotel was incredibly convenient. The islands in Paracas was a nice way to see some of the marine life, and I was not expecting to see one of the nazca lines there but it added to the experience. The pisco tour was wonderful, I loved trying out the different pisco products made from the grapes and I purchased some to take home with me. Lastly, the Huacachina oasis was a phenomenal experience. It’s a much smaller area than I had expected so the free time we were given was plenty to walk around. Next were the dune buggies to take us sand boarding. Included in the cost is body boarding but a couple of people in the group wanted to do the stand up sand boarding, like snowboarding. They let our guide know ahead of time so for an extra fee they were allowed to get some boards fitted to their feet prior to getting on the dune buggies. The dune buggie driving was amazing! It was such beautiful scenery and the jumps from the dunes felt like I was on a rollercoaster, so so fun. We were driven to a couple dunes in increasing heights to go sand boarding and ended it by watching the sunset on the top of a desert dune. Simply beautiful. I will note that the food is not included in the costs and that you should be somewhat familiar with spanish but certainly don’t need to be fluent. I would highly recommend this tour if you’re considering it!

          We had a great time with Manuel Giron, scooting around Lima. Manuel was very knowledgeable and we were able to cover a lot of ground. Definitely recommended!

        The tour guide and driver are fantastic. Caral is a place to be admired. We stopped for breakfast and later lunch. Pickup was on time. It is a very long day but worth it. Disappointed that I never got text messages in advance regarding change in pickup time. Luckily I traveled with a friend who had a separate reservation and warned me about the change. All communication was through her which I mentioned to the tour guide was unacceptable. It’s an administration issue and not the guide’s fault. Otherwise it was a wonderful experience. BTW always carry toilet paper and hand gel. Bathrooms clean but no TP

        If you have time to spare in Lima, this full day excursion is worthwhile. The Caral excavations started just a few years ago, so there is still so much to uncover. You will realize how little is known about ancient Peruvian civilization, pre-dating the Incas by thousands of years. Remember to take your hiking shoes, sunscreen and wind-proof head cover. Be prepared to walk.

        We also toured the coastal village of Bandurria, even older than Caral, and even less excavated. Also wonderful views of the Albufera ParaĂ­so and the Pacific Ocean.

        Our bus driver and our tour guide were excellent!
