Excellent service. One of the highlights for my trip. Highly recommend. Well worth every dollar
Hello, thank you very much for the kind words, and if you wish to return to Peru, we can offer you other tours.
I booked the Paracas, Ica, and Huacachina tour with Inca Trilogy Tours and I had an excellent experience. From the beginning the service was very professional and friendly, the advisor was always willing to answer questions and provide all the necessary information On the day of the tour they picked us up very punctually at our hotel, in a quite comfortable bus. Our guide Chris B was always very friendly and made the experience very pleasant. In addition, the organization of the tour was very good, despite being a long tour, they gave enough time to enjoy each of the activities. I definitely highly recommend this agency for those who want to see the best of Peru
The proposal indicates that there would be an expert local tour guide. The guide who is with our group was absent. No explanation, he was on his cell phone the whole time and when we arrived at the places not even the slightest explanation, he just told us what time we would meet and left. When we were eating he was not nearby. We had to ask many times for them to give us the drink menus and to be able to order extra drinks. We spend all our time looking for it when it is time to go from one place to another. Disappointing experience. Likewise the breakfast restaurant (knowing that it is on our tab), very disappointed with the offering, food, we found hairs on the plate and then food that was too salty. The available restrooms were in terrible condition. You can be sure that we have to cross our fingers all the time to get something decent. For dinner, we were supposed to be able to order food to receive it when getting off the tubes. It was never indicated to us when or where we should order it and when we asked, he only indicated that it was already too late. We all had to stop to buy something to eat at the gas station. For the price, you get a more than disappointing service.
An excellent and varied experience that combines nature, food, and adventure; super pleased with the service.
Yaritza was excellent!! If I could give 6 stars I would. Very knowledgeable, kind, patient, caring , attentive. It was an outstanding trip. Thank you.
Oswaldo has been a fantastic guide. He has a great, good energy that made the tour very enjoyable. From the beginning of the tour, he has been very attentive, asking if we were okay. We really appreciate the good treatment and seeing his passion for his work reflected.
It was an amazing ride... The ride itself was exhilarating and the entire family enjoyed it. This was one of the biggest highlight of our entire trip. The sunset was amazing, and the sandboarding experience was a first for us - and brought out the kid in all of us!
From Bogotá, Colombia: This was an experience that we enjoyed very much, I did it right on my birthday and the truth is that it was totally worth it. The communication from the day before is very good, they are very attentive to resolve any concerns, they picked us up very punctually in a very comfortable bus, the trip was pleasant, upon arriving in Paracas we liked the tour very much and all the information that the guide gave us seemed very valuable to us, she spoke three languages, which surprised us pleasantly. We continued towards Ica - Huacachina, we made the stop for lunch, the lunch seemed very complete to us, the restaurant was very well prepared, as soon as we arrived they brought each of us the dishes we had ordered in advance without any error, they had it organized by names and that agility and order was really very pleasant, they also gave us a Pisco tour that we liked a lot and to finish of course visiting the Huacachina Oasis, it was spectacular, it is a great experience, the landscape is unique and new to us, the shops around and the gastronomic options are good, personally I didn't enjoy the dune buggy ride much, since for my taste it was quite extreme, however, we did like the sandboarding a lot, we took beautiful photos and returned to our hotel very happy, we especially thank our guide Erika, who was very kind and attentive.
It is one of the best experiences I have had; Peru is impressive, its landscapes, its food, its people. I loved everything, I would do it again and again. Thanks to my guide Edgar because he made the experience much more pleasant and I learned a lot about Peru thanks to him.
