the highlight of our trip to Peru! - what an amazing tour and company. Jaime was our guide and really made us feel special. Our driver would always help us to get in/out of the car and would park and pull the car close to the entrances.
Jaime made sure we were comfortable and enjoyed our long trip. Very fun and informative guide, super polite and nice. Many people already commented on the amazing destinations and places you will see so I will not repeat them, but I wanted to say that this is a great company for sure.
The only thing we did experience is a buggy ride - apparently there was a fatal incident at the same day and a tourist died while riding a buggy (different company). Jaime was very apologizing and sorry and the owner wanted to give us a gift but we were travelling light and just enjoyed an extra dessert.

Amazing family experience - Our family of four had a wonderful time. Jaime and Henry picked us up at 6am on the dot. It’s a long day with a lot of activities but you never feel rushed or hurried. Jaime manages everything so well and everything is ready to go at each destination. Jaime was super kind to our kids (14 and 11) and knew so much and had great stories. 100% would recommend! Henry is a great drive, the van is comfy, and we all slept on the way back.

Must do! Well worth every penny! - Jaime was an exceptional guide from the minute he showed up at the door until they dropped us off. He gave us insights into Peru and made the time in the car fly by! Everything was perfectly planned and every detail taken car of. The excursions were amazing and offered so many small details that made the trip extra special. Henry was an amazing driver and made me feel safe in the crazy traffic. They were both not only great guides, they were fun and always checking in to share suggestions and fun photo ideas! 10/10 isn’t a high enough rating!

Spectacular varied activities with excellent guides - Wow! This trip was incredibly varied and fun. It's hard to believe they fit so many cool activities in one day. We had a lovely local breakfast, took a speedboat ride to see giant Nasca hieroglyphs, penguins, and sea caves, we experienced a private tour and tasting and gourmet lunch at a world-class winery and restaurant, and we had an exciting dune buggy and sandboarding excursion at the unique oasis. I'm probably forgetting something, there was so much to do. This was an amazing way to explore the regions outside of Lima.
Every step of the way, our guide Jaime and our driver Milton took great care of us. They were friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and fun! We learned a lot, and they were so attentive to our needs, and made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the adventure. They went above and beyond to make our day special, and we're so lucky to have traveled with them

Perfect Day from Lima: Islands, Wine, Desert Thrills & More! - We had the most unforgettable experience on the Paracas, Ballestas Islands, Winery Tour, and Desert Adventure Day Trip from Lima — truly a highlight of our time in Peru!
From the start, our driver Henry made the long journey smooth and comfortable, and our guide Jaime was absolutely exceptional. He was personable, attentive, and fun — the kind of guide who makes you feel like you’re traveling with a local friend rather than just someone leading a tour. He kept everything running seamlessly and made the entire day feel effortless and enjoyable.
The adventure began with a speed boat tour out to the Ballestas Islands — a thrilling ride where we saw sea lions, penguins, and a wide variety of birds and other marine life. The islands were absolutely breathtaking, and we even had a perfect view of the mysterious Paracas Candelabra carved into the hillside.
Later, we visited Tacama, a beautiful historic winery in Ica. We enjoyed a guided tour of the vineyard and learned about their winemaking and pisco distillation process. The wine and pisco tasting was a real treat, and the lovely lunch that followed — paired with a traditional Peruvian show — made the experience feel truly immersive and special.
To top it all off, we headed to the Huacachina desert for a high-energy dune buggy ride across the massive sand dunes. It was absolutely exhilarating — like a rollercoaster in the desert — and the views were nothing short of spectacular. We also had the chance to go sandboarding, which was an incredibly fun and thrilling experience. It added just the right touch of adventure to an already unforgettable day.
Every part of the day was thoughtfully curated, yet nothing felt rushed. It was a perfect mix of adventure, culture, and relaxation. This is a day my family and I will always treasure. Huge thanks to Jaime, Henry, and the entire team for such an incredible and memorable experience!

Amazing Adventure - We had so much fun exploring with Jamie! He is very knowledgeable about the culture, food and history of Paracas, Ica, and Huacachina. Each activity was well planned which made our trip amazing! Moving to each destination was great because of our driver Carlos!
Thank you Jamie and Carlos for making this an unforgettable experience!
I recommend this tour for anyone looking to get outside of Lima and experience more of what Peru has to offer.

Am amazing mix of fun - A fun mix of activities in one day! Three very different experiences led by our amazing guide Mario. Great wildlife viewing on the Bellestas Island tour, a beautiful tour of the Tacoma vineyard, complete with a tasting and pisco sour making. Capped off at the Huacachina desert oasis for an exciting dune buggy ride and sandboarding! Finishing off in the desert as the sun was setting made for some amazing pics.

Amazing day trip! Highly recommend - My mom and I took this tour with our amazing guide Jaime and it was one of the highlights of our trip to Peru! Jaime was wonderful. He was kind, funny, informative, and also gave us some great recommendations in Lima! Our driver Carlos was also fantastic! This was a long day of driving, but so worth it. The trip is broken out nicely and everything flows very well.
The first stop was breakfast which was delicious! Jaime explained it all very well and made sure we had everything we needed. Then we headed to the boat tour, which was relaxing and fun. We saw a ton of sea lions and penguins. Our next stop was the oldest winery in South America, which we loved! We had a great tour and one of the best lunches we have ever had. The final stop was the sand dunes/sandboarding—it lived up to th hype! We had so much fun and Jaime got great pics of us!
Although it is a long day, it goes by very fast and is filled with amazing things to do and see. We would 100% book this again and recommend to others! Thank you, Jaime and Carlos!
