A long day but an experience worth having <3 - Our guide, Rudi was very hospitable and knowledgeable. The drive was clean & comfy. The boat tour in the morning was interesting bt very cold. Afterwards the buggy ride was soooo fun & a real adrenaline rush with all the bumps and steep slopes. Food for lunch wasn't inclusive but it was yummy & the servings were massive! We topped off with the pisco tour which we enjoyed very much. I blv our guide was juan. We left with 3 bottles of pisco!

An unparalleled experience! - Wonderful tour: Unforgettable ballestas, Huacachina - beautiful and buggy oasis with plenty of adrenaline, and don't miss to slip through the dunes, on the delicious sandboard. Finally, Vineyard - after the heat of the desert, the freshness of lunch under the trees and the tasting of the various types of Pisco. Passeio Maravilhoso!!!

Great, personal tour! - The Driver (Martin) and tour guide (Jonathan) were amazing and took care of us the whole trip. Jonathan Had very good knowledge about everything we wanted to know about. As this was a personal tour we could even plan individual stops like watching the sunset at the beach... This was no issue at all.
Everything was perfect and we couldnt have asked for more. Absolutly recommended.

Absolutely Incredible! Best Tour I've ever been on!!!! - My son and I went on a private tour with Ayman from Lima to Huacachina Balestras Islands and the Reserve -- and then dropped us off that night downtown Lima to catch the magic color water fountains. They customized it slightly to skip the winery as we weren't interested. From the moment they picked us up from our hotel, I was given a masters level class in Peru. (they asked if I wanted it.. or wanted to sleep!) The entire day I learned abut the people, the culture, the geography, food, politics, etc. I asked questions, they asked questions. By the end of the trip I wanted to invite them to my home in the US -- it was that type of rapport and friendship that resulted from the entire day. The icing on the cake was when we arrived at the Oasis, and after having lunch together we were to ride the sand buggies. It is an insane climb up the dunes to get to the cars, and I knew I couldn't make it as I have mobility issues. But Ayman talked with the company and had the car come much closer so I wouldn't have to miss the opportunity. It was one of the happies experience in my life to be able to do excursion, be out on the dunes, and have someone advocate for me. When I go back to Peru -- I'm already planning another trip, travel buddies will by the agency that I choose without question.

Amazing mix of adventure and relaxation, highly recommend! - We had such an amazing time on this tour! It is the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation, starting off taking a boat ride to see the wildlife on the Ballestas Islands, then going to the Huacachina Oasis for dune bugging and sand boarding, and finally going to the pisco winery for some amazing food and fantastic drinks! Aymen, our guide, went above and beyond to make our experience special, including giving the best food/drink recommendations and stopping so we could see wild flamingos during our drive! He was so knowledgeable and taught us a lot about life in Peru during our drive, which only added to the experience. Highly recommend booking this tour!
