The buggy ride in the... - The buggy ride in the desert was amazing. Visiting the vineyard and tasting Pisco sour was fun. Ballestas islands was nice, but didn’t get to see much wildlife.

Worth every penny - Very comfortable car. The competent and professional driver Saul. The guide Susan informed us about everything and left us free to ask any interesting facts about the tour and about various topics about Peruvian places and culture. I chose the private tour due to the difficulty of getting around, it was perfect. I did what I could do and we saw everything. I recommend.

Excellent experience - The staff were super friendly, attentive and explanatory, with a lot of knowledge about Peru in general, as well as super attentive to ensuring clean hygienic services for their clients. We made several stops to buy food. View of sea lions and humble penguins and we were also able to be very close to a sea lion that approached the coast.

Ica, wine tasting and sand boarding, highly recommended - Very personalized service, the day before they call to coordinate all the logistics (transport, departure time, etc.), already on the day itself, both the guide and driver are punctual and attentive, they manage to make the trip enjoyable despite being so long ~4 hrs, the wine tasting is good and the sand boarding is the best.... (This was one of the best activities in Peru).

Exceptional knowledge and service - Our driver, Carlos, and guide, Rosario, were really exceptional! They took great care of us, were on time and were very knowledgeable and helpful. I would definitely recommend this tour and tour company. They added the extras, like arranging tasting of some local chocolates and cookies from vendor in Paracas and arranging for bathroom stops and using the facilities after the sand dune buggy ride to clean off the sand and dirt. The Peruvian food at the lunch stop was very good.

Excellent service and experience - Excellent experience, the driver and guide were very formal and respectful, always attentive to whatever I needed. The places we visited are undoubtedly spectacular. It hurts the lack of time to do more tours with this company that is very serious and trustworthy.

Unforgetable experience - Very good service, excellent driver and guide. The activities are VERY GOOD and UNFORGETTABLE, but the private tour is a little expensive compared to other agencies. We did it with this agency since we had contracted the transfer from the airport to the hotel through Booking with them and it seemed like a very serious company. Ivan, our company contact, was always attentive at all times. Highly recommended company, just take into account the cost of the tours.

Would not book tour through Master Tours again - Pickup Vehicle too small too accommodate confirmed prepaid party of 7 adults so no tour on scheduled day. Manager wanted additional payment to supply adequate transportation on another day
