Had a great time. Guide was full of knowledge and very friendly. Places visited were unique and fun. One thing I didnt like was how late we got back because of the traffic.
Great tour, very attentive and polite guide. It is good to always remember to praise when you have a great driver (pq in Peru the traffic is intense). The tour is very intense and will not always stay long in some places. It was worth it!! The tubular (paid separately) is a very intense fun. The part of the sandboard that I thought would have more dunes but we only went down once.
A delight of place! The guide, Sergio, very good people! It's super reliable
The experience was great. The guides way very friendly and interactive, they made sure you were well looked after. Would take this trip again.
Excellent deal. Wonderful places
Excellent experience, my family had fun from start to finish and there were no queues to enter a Ballestas or the tubulars
Very goodaaa! excellent tour guides, very trained! I will go with them again, thank you very much for the kindness and patience
We took this Paracas and Huacachina day tour in January and it was one of the best experiences of our trip to Peru. It’s a great way to explore amazing places outside Lima in just one day, with everything very well organized. The dune buggy and sandboarding experience in Huacachina was the highlight for us. Driving through the desert dunes was thrilling and super fun, and the views were stunning. Definitely one of the most unique experiences you can have in Peru. The service provided by Alturismo was excellent. The transportation was comfortable, the schedule was well managed, and everything felt safe and professional. A special thanks to our guide, who was very knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole tour enjoyable with great explanations. I would definitely do this tour again on my next trip to Peru and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Lima and looking for a Paracas or Huacachina day trip.
I got to try sandboarding and it was one of the best experiences I've ever had. I liked that there weren’t too many people (they seem to control it very well). You can tell that the company really cares about the tourist and for this I give you the 5 stars. I'll be back!
Don't go with this agency, you totally lousy Service. Then I found out they're not even registered, so be careful, I don't understand how they can allow you to promote these types of "agencies"
