Paracas, Ballestas and a perfect sunset - A very complete and enjoyable tour. The Ballestas Islands were a great start to the day, and ending in Huacachina with the sunset made the experience even more special. Everything was well coordinated.

Unforgettable sunset in the desert - A really nice experience. Everything was well coordinated and that made us enjoy the tour much more. Watching the sunset between the dunes was unforgettable and definitely the best part of the day. I took a very good memory of Huacachina.

A very special experience - It was a very nice experience. Everything was well organized from the start and the pickup was punctual. Huacachina is a beautiful place, but certainly the best thing was to see the sunset in the desert. The scenery looks stunning at that time and makes the tour totally worthwhile. Highly recommended.

Excellent experience - Overall the whole day plan we loved. The food in the vineyard we really liked, the bus was comfortable and the experience in the Ballestas Islands and the desert, was the ultimate. There was a bit of miscommunication at pickup time, but otherwise it was excellent.

A Waste of Time and Money - I left for the tour at about 5:50 am and came back to the hotel just before 12:30 am the next day. But the two activities lasted only about two and half hours at most. Most of the time was spent on the wheels and on visiting tourist traps. I don't think the tour was worth the time and money spent.
