Enjoy the tour very much, I would repeat it again - The full day I went to with my friends was just amazing. 🌊🐧
In Paracas we are fascinated with the Ballestas Islands, sea lions and the famous Candelabra. The view from the boat was spectacular.
In Ica we did a tasting of wines and piscos 🍷🥂 and they were good!
The best wine in Huacachina 😍: an oasis in the middle of the desert that looks like something out of a movie. Getting on the tube and sandboarding was pure adrenaline.
A special thanks to the guide, who was always in the best vibe, explaining everything patiently and making us laugh along the way. And of course to the travel agency, which organized everything 10/10 and allowed us to enjoy without worrying about anything.
Undoubtedly, a journey I would repeat a thousand times ✨💙

Amazing experience - I was picked up very early from my hote, mobility was comfortable and once at the destination we visited crossbow islands where we saw sea lions and barn birds, I loved it!! We could see the candelabra geoglyph also, we had lunch, we did wine and pisco tasting, sweets like shingles and chocotejas, we visited the oasis of huacahina, wow that place is amazing!! , we made the tour in the sand carts and samboarding in the dunes, back we did more tastings and enjoyed the music show and back to lime.
The guide treated us super cute, we had a great time and I think the price was pretty fair for everything we visited.

Convenient but not great - This was a good tour for those short on time that want to experience a few stops in peru. Communication prior to the trip was great and pick up/drop off were timely.
But few things to know before booking:
1. Bring extra toilet paper and small change for bathrooms (they charge 1-2 soles each).
2. The Isla Ballestas boat tour was great (much better than expected) but it was colder than expected and you will get splashed so bring a light rain jacket.
3. Don’t feel pressured to buy a sand bandana at the first instance since many more people will be selling them along the way and you can bargain down the price (heard as low as 3 soles).
4. At the pisco tasting restaurant the service and food were not good but the tasting itself was at least entertaining.
5. Sand boarding was great and plenty of opportunities to take pictures.
6. The final tasting in Chincha was totally unnecessary since it didn’t offer anything new and was basically a roadside convenience store.
7. Pressure sales tactics at many of the stops (particularly the chocolate tasting). This is likely not specific to this tour as I experienced this on other tours in Peru as well.
All in all, some great stops on the tour (paracas/sandboarding) but be prepared for subpar food, bathrooms and tasting experiences.

Less than expected - Nice experience. This activity is like a must from Lima, but this is less than what we expected unfortunately. We supposed to have a stop #6 to chincha Alta winery but this is skipped. We supposed to finish around 11pm but we arrive hotel 830pm
