Best Experience Ever! - Where do I start… Fernando the tour guide is amazing and makes a huge difference on how the tour goes! His kindness and positivity radiates through out the whole experience! It’s a very well organized experience. He makes sure to let us know exactly what to expect, where we will eat (what options there are), leisure time, restroom break, etc. I will say this, please keep in mind that this is not a walk in the park like mentioned, you need to have the physical strength to walk up the oasis in the initial part! We enjoyed every single part of this experience, this is something that you CANNOT skip out on or else you’ll regret it!! Thanks Fernando!!!

Best day trip I had in Lima - They are well organized from your pick up until your dropped off to your hotel. They begin picking up the guest around 4am. They took the pick up time seriously if you're not there on time (probably will give you 5mins spare time) they will leave you of course they will send you a video record as a proof they are there on time and you're not at the lobby. Nilo was our tour guide and he's biligual (can speak english and spanish fluently). He's very knowledgable about the trip and gives us tips how to enjoy our trip more. First stop was breakfast in Paracas then we proceed to our selected trip either the island hopping to Ballestas island or ATV drive to National Reserve of Paracas. My guide there was an old kind man though he doesnt know how to speak nor understand English but at least he tried his best to understand what I want to say and for me to understand him. Lunch at Pisci vineyard was perfect! Food is fantastic! We had a wine tasting after our lunch. Dune buggy and sandboarding in Huacachina was the highlight for me. Adrenaline rush overload!!! We're lucky we had a perfect spot for the beautiful sunset. My suggestion is maybe next time they could give us some information about Huacachine. P.s i'm not sure if Nilo gave it earlier because I fall asleep during the drive to Huacachina. Nilo is great he even share us information about must try food and restaurants in Lima.

Private tour - Ballestas Islands, Pisco and Huacachina Tasting - My husband, son and I took the private tour and had an unforgettable day, visiting wonderful places that exceeded all our expectations! Our guide George and driver Elias were exceptional from start to finish of the tour, always going the extra mile to make the trip special. It's a long and tiring trip (we left Lima in 4h50 and arrived back at 11pm), but it's worth every minute! I highly recommend the company Lima Experience, it is a super serious, punctual and dedicated company! We will remember this day forever!

Best day ever! - It was an unforgettable day and ending of our Peru trip. Everything was so well planned while you still got time to enjoy every moment. Nilo was very friendly, patient and funny! He also took care of some nice shots during our trip. I highly recommend doing this tour to get to know Islas Ballestas, try some pisco (11x!), experience Huacacina in 1 day with pick-up and drop -off at your accommodation; and all of that for only $109! So enjoy it :)

The perfect adventure! - Nilo's tour was absolutely incredible making my last day in Peru unforgettable. We started the morning off with a beautiful boat ride on the ocean seeing lots of sea lions, birds and penguins up close. We then had a great lunch and pisco tasting tour where we got to try over 10 different drinks! To finish the day off we got to explore a gorgeous desert oasis. But my favorite part was the thrilling dune buggy ride where Nilo took us deep into the desert away from the crowds to ride some of the biggest sand dunes. Nilo also took some amazing photos for me throughout the trip.

Ending Peru with a Bang! - Nilo went out of his way to make this packed day as fun as he possibly could! It’s always a blast when guides genuinely want to have a great day with their group. Had some great food with good people and made memories that will last a lifetime
