Review of Lima’s Paracas and Huacachina day tour, with Ballestas wildlife, pisco tasting, dune buggies, sandboarding, costs, and practical tips.

“This tour is about fun, not education. It’s a very long day if you depart from Lima, six am to midnight. The activities are well planned and organized, no lineup. I recommend buying the meal at the wine tasting, it was very good. Bring water and toilet paper.”

Dune buggy was trilling like a roller coaster ride. Sand boarding was an experience that I will be trying again. Well worth the money paid and long day. Already looking forward to the next time in March. 😊😊”

Review of Rainbow Mountain from Cusco, covering altitude, transport, meals, guides, price, difficulty, and practical booking advice.

“I had booked this a while ago and had been in communication with them and I even asked before we got to Cusco what time they were gonna pick us up at the hotel. Also note you have to message them first through WhatsApp they’re never gonna reach out to you first. They told me that they would let me know the day before. Day before came, I messaged them and called them because it was already 5 PM an and no one told me about a pick up time. I even had the Hilton call them and nobody responded. Ultimately no one ever showed up and we had to…”

Review of the Humantay Lake trek from Cusco, with breakfast, lunch, guide, transport, altitude advice, pricing, and practical hiking tips.

“I bought this tour via Viator before arriving Cusco just to be on the safe side and paid $78 for the tour thinking that this is the standard rate/tour provides higher quality lunch, etc. On the day of the tour, I learned that everyone else on the tour paid max of $24... The quality tour was not good either... The guide spoke Spanish mostly, did not provide guidance about the structure of the tour, etc. When I reached out to Viator about this issue and the unfair price, they did not help me at all... This felt like a complete rip off. I was truly frustrated. Overall, do not buy…”

Review of Lima’s Paracas, Ballestas Islands, and Hacienda San José day trip, with wildlife, desert scenery, transport tips, costs, and drawbacks.

“We enjoyed seeing wildlife and beautiful geology of Ballistas islands. Nice lunch in Paracus as we waited for second activity. Hike in Paracus was moderately difficult, hiking up sand dunes/hillsides. I wouldn’t recommend for small children or people with mobility issues. Views from the top were spectacular and sunset as well. Tour guides were working hard to keep track of various tours for people on the bus. We were alerted that it would be a long time on the bus, and for us that was a bit long from Lima.”

“This was an EXCELLENT tour of the Sacred Valley with Junior from Exploor. Junior is a fantastic tour guide, he is energetic, helpful and full of knowledge about all the ancient sites. His English is perfect so he was able to describe everything to us clearly. He suggested the best locations for photos, and the timing of the tour was great because we always arrived at the sites before the crowds. At Moray we took lots of creative photos and he helped us with all of them, never rushing us along. He pointed out birds and plants that were native species, and even used an app to call a rare,…”

Review of a private full-day Machu Picchu tour from Cusco, with train travel, private transfers, expert guiding, costs, and practical tips.

“The train ride up to Macho Picho was breath taking. Loved it! The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, was well as a great photo taker. Macho Picho was impressive and interesting. The tour operator did an outstanding job changing tour itinerary because my tour was delayed a day due to Peru Airport shut down for a day. The tour operator also did a great job preparing the tour and explaining how it was to be executed. This tour was a great experience.”
