Couldn’t recommend this more!

What an amazing tour! Sam was so helpful with picking us up from our accommodation and chauffeuring us between vineyards and dune activities. He was beyond knowledgeable helping us understand the different wine making practices and Pisco/Ica history. Could not recommend this more for people travelling wanting to know the history and get amazing food and travel recommendations from a local. Thankyou Sam!!

Decent. You can do it yourself.

The tour (April) was a convenient way of being ferried around Huacachina and Ica, where the destinations and activities were picked for you. In reality, you still pay for entry, food, tips for activities. In conclusion, you can do all this yourself (given uber is extremely cheap in Peru), but this makes it slightly more hassle free.

10/10 would recommend. Make friends with the people on the tour too. It makes it more fun!

The experience went like this. I booked it. Sam reached out. Told me he’ll pick us up. He was very communicative. First we went to one industrial vineyard where we learned about history of Peru’s wine. Then went to a more local family owned type vineyard. Where the food was amazing. Got to taste wine at two different wineries. After lunch went to the sand dunes. Drove at crazy high speeds it was like a roller coaster. Then we took turns sliding down different sand hills. Finished the night with a sunset photo shoot. Sam was always there to help us if need him!

Amazing views

Dune buggying: Amazing views and fun, low-risk sandboarding on three dunes. The buggy had some technical difficulties but our driver managed to fix it like a champ while we watched the sunset. Wine and pisco: Fun, educational tours of both Tacama winery and an artisanal pisco maker. Winery tour was more comprehensive but both were informative and tasty,

Amazing except the dune buggies.

This tour was awesome! WARNING: The dune buggies go FAST. If you don't like big rollercoasters, you will not like this. There were drops and sharp turns. I'm only rating it 4 stars because the description does not mention this. I brought my 5 year old not expecting the dune buggies to be so intense. Luckily he was not crying. Otherwise, everything else was fantastic. The winery tours were awesome. The tastings were great. Beware of the dune buggies.
