1.Paracas and Huacachina Oasis Full Day Guided Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 1,780 reviews · 18 hours · from $59Our pick

Review of Lima to Paracas and Huacachina, with Ballestas wildlife, pisco tasting, dune buggies, sandboarding, costs, and practical tips.

“The day tour was fantastic, if I was booking again which I plan to next month when other friends come it will not be on a holiday. So busy and we got a bit behind schedule. 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 the 17-hour Paracas, Ballestas Islands and Huacachina tour from Lima, covering wildlife, pisco tasting, dune buggies, costs, and practical tips.

“Eas a lot of driving for questionable highlights. We did not get the show promised as the last item of the tour. On reflection, this may be why we had 50 soles contributed to our lunch payment, although that was never explained. A lot of driving with very boring scenery.”

Cruise from Paracas to the Ballestas Islands for sea lions, penguins, seabirds, and the mysterious Candelabra, with a bilingual guide.

“We had an amazing time. Good service. The guide was amazing at pointing out the animals. When some of the more stupid guests tried screaming at one of the seals that was sleeping on a rock, the guide was quick to point out that the animals are not there for our pleasure. It’s not a circus. And that I really appreciated! I love to see guides that care about the animals we see and don’t treat them badly. She was also quick to point out that we should take one of the front seats so that we got some amazing views. Very happy we did that! Thanks for a great…”

Review of a private Machu Picchu guide in Aguas Calientes, with practical advice on circuits, timing, price, transport, and what to expect.

“Our tour guide was Javier. Javier previously served in the Peruvian military, and we really appreciated his perspective on the sites. He gave great detail to the history of Machu Picchu, deviated the tour when we asked specific questions to better understand how the citadel was built and why. He took great photos of us enjoying the site. I definitely recommend this service.”

“This company has it down to a science. Flawless execution of an amazing journey in all aspects imaginable. With critical coordination and detailed transfers, multiple tickets and handoffs I cannot be more happy with this tour company. Everything is outline on a single sheet and review in person. I would say the best company for Machu Picchu that there is out there. Even in person review of activities and overview of the trek at your hotel the day before the journey begins. If any issues arise whatsoever they have you covered. It’s fast paced but they’re there to guide you every step of the way. Couldn’t be more satisfied and…”

Review of a private Machu Picchu tour from Aguas Calientes, covering guides, circuits, buses, timing, value, photos, and practical tips.

“Jaime was an excellent guide, knowledgeable and well-versed in the history and culture of Machu Picchu. We took Circuit 2 and it surpassed our party of 5’s expectations. He went above and beyond, picked us up at the train station and escorted us to our hotel. He was extremely thoughtful, let us have time alone at the hotel to wash up from the train trip and regroup and recommended a place to have lunch, then picked us up again. Excellent in every way! He made it seamless for us. His English is also excellent.”

Review of the 2-day Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, with Wiñay Wayna, Sun Gate views, hotel stay, meals, guides, and practical advice.

“Very good trekking trought beautiful forests and archeological sites. Hard path. Insects in same parts (useful repellent). I think it was better to divide tours by trekking fitness (principiant, medium, pro): we wait more than 30 min sometimes to wait the rest of the group. Very good tented lunch, good hotel in Agua Calientes. Very expensive (+900€/couple), as other tours.”

Private Machu Picchu guide from Aguas Calientes with expert history, flexible pacing, photos, and help with the park’s strict circuits.

“Booked months in advance with pick up location and time clearly stated on confirmation. They didn’t show up. When I called they said they didn’t know. Then when I asked for my money back because this was a documented error on their part, they refused. They also said the attempted to contact me the day before departure which was also a lie. Would you spend your money at a place that would treat you that way when they are in truth at fault?”
