Thanks to Renzo, I enjoyed well - The whole trip was absolutely amazing . Guide Renzo gave lots of information in perfect english. Especially, I was the only one who doesn't speak Spanish but he personally helped to translate everything into english every time. Such a grateful moment for a solo traveller :)

Friendly Tour Guide - The sandboarding and ATV ride were both exhilarating and a lot of fun! The wine tasting was also a delightful experience. We even spotted a sea lion while on the water. Our tour guide, Elma, was exceptional—she checked on all of us regularly and was incredibly considerate throughout the tour. Inca Trilogy Tours provided an unforgettable adventure!

Great experience in the desert and nature - The whole day was fantastic. Jenny, our guide, explained the day we began our tour from Lima. Our boat trip in Paracas to the nature reserve was very complete as we saw many birds and penguins. The next stop was a delicious lunch, vineyard and tasting, all excellent. Our last stop was the sand dunes with buggy ride and sandboarding, what an exhilarating experience. It's a long day, but Jenny and our driver Jorge made the day a once in a lifetime experience.

Excellent day we had!!! - It was a very good day, there was a lot of marine diversity, in Ica the food was good, the tasting of pisco and other house wines was very good. What is spectacular is the buggy ride, sandboarding and the cherry on the cake is the sunset. It is worth mentioning the excellent guide company provided by Jenny and the driver Jorge, everything was very punctual and in order.

Full day excursion to Huacachina and Ballestas Islands - Everything excellent! Very good vibes from the guide Renzo. We liked Huacachina more than Paracas (ballestas islands). Ballestas Islands: I suppose it is much more interesting in summer when you can see a large number of sea lions, it didn't seem like a big deal to us but for those who are not used to the sea they may enjoy it more. Huacachina: the buggy ride and sandboarding experience are very fun. You end up watching the sunset with a beautiful view.

Paracas and Ika experience in Peru. - It's a great day excursion package. To spend morning in Paracas, boat ride to see the small rocky islands, which are formed nicely by oceanic current. Lots of interesting birds leave in the area. Afternoon was visit to Ika and sand dune buggy rides which were exhilarating experience. It's Luke roller coaster on land.

Best day ever - What an incredible trip! This is an absolute must!! Our guide Renzo was awesome. We had the best day at Cultur Pisco and Huacachina. The Pisco tasting experience with lunch was at the most beautiful setting. From the moment we arrived at Huacachina, it was non-stop adrenaline. We didn't want the day to end. Please book this and ask for Renzo!

Great day out - Fantastic day split into three main areas. The boat ride to the Ballestas Island was great. The lunch followed by Pisco Sour tasting was excellent and informative. The final segment in Hauchachina was breathtaking. Our guide Renzo was fantastic and helpful throughout the trip. Communication was good and a great guide. The only minor negative was the food at the place we went for breakfast. Staff there were not particularly helpful and the food was not great. That was more than made up for by everything else but I’d suggest bringing a snack or having prepared breakfast.
