Worth the Drive - We were skeptical for this since we were staying in Lima and it would take 4 hours each way but it was so worth it. Our guide José Carlos was so kind and great at explaining the histories of each of the areas we drove through. First stop was Tacama Vineyard which was phenomenal. A nice little tour with a fun wine and pisco tasting. We decided to have lunch there because of the beautiful scenery and got lucky with an authentic horse show. After, we went to Huacacchina to see the oasis. José Carlos walked us around explaining the myth of the oasis and the story of the mermaid which was very insightful. After we went to the dune buggies which was an absolute blast, i wish i could Do that everyday it was that fun. Sand boarding was a great way to end the experience, my wife still has sand everywhere from it LOL! Great experience and thank you to José Carlos and Mr. Hugo(our driver) for an amazing day!

Would 100% recommend. - It was an extraordinary experience, which also felt very safe. Our driver, Carlos was very friendly and responsible making the experience easy and smooth. We started with the Tacama vineyard where we tasted wine and pisco, had the tour to the wine making processes, great lunch and also watched a horse show. Afterwards we took the car to the oasis and did the Sandhills and Sand-boarding experience. It was really awesome. I would definitely recommend this service.

Excellent experience - We did the tour with Jose, he was a great guide and kept us entertained all the time with the history of the places we visited. We had an incredible time and hope to return to Huacachina with the whole family.

Amazing experience and beautiful area - The tour was very organized, punctual and the guide very kind and friendly. Ica surprised us with a beautiful landscape and places as beautiful as Huacachina that seems to be taken from a movie.

The tour was fantastic - Thanks to this tour I had an excellent day and was able to learn a little more about Peru. The Ica region is a wonderful place that has many attractive places such as Paracas and Huacachina. This time I visited Huacachina and I loved it, I'm sure there will be another opportunity to stay more days in this beautiful city.

A perfect day! - This was one of the most beautiful tourist activities we did during our stay in Peru. Ica was the perfect place to escape the cold of Lima and have fun in the Huacachina desert and of course enjoy wine and pisco in the beautiful Tacama vineyard.

Awesome full day in Tacama and Huacachina - This was an awesome tour which started from Lima. Our guide Jose was great at explaining every interesting fact. Tacama, which is the oldest vineyard in South America, is located 15 minutes from the city center. This vineyard produces some of the best wines of Peru and has a great restaurant which offers tasty Peruvian dishes. In the other hand, Huacachina is where the huge dunes are. We had a lot of fun riding a 4WD dune buggy for 2 hours and using the boards to slide on the sand. We recommend booking this tour.

Fun buggy tour - The Buggy tour was fun and the staff were friendly. I would not book with Travel Adventures Peru (TAP) anymore. We did not an itinerary and they would not return any phone calls or texts when we asked questions. We were picked up by random Peruvians who could not communicate with us in English (after TAP said that they would have someone who could speak English) so we just had to trust that they were taking us where we were supposed to go. We didn't know how long anything was going to take, how long he drive would be. Our driver was falling asleep on the way and we felt so uncomfortable that we said we needed a restroom break just so that we he could wake up for the rest of the drive. He was nice but we were still nervous and tried to contact TAP but they never answered. I would do the buggy tours again but with I recommend Peru Hop. They were VERY nice organized. Could do without Tacama vineyard, but Nietto was fun.

Do not take this tour! - Our guide who picked us up from our hotel went with people who took the Nazca lines tour so we were left without a guide!! We were dropped off at the winery where we were charged 45 soles (which i was told will be refunded to me but nothing has been done about it yet!), also the buggy ride driver refused to take us above the sand dune from where the oasis view is visible!! imagine going to Huacachina and not getting view of the oasis!! Luckily my husband and i still had few minutes before sunset so we ran up the sand dune after the buggy ride and managed to get a view of the oasis , however my mom could not climb up and missed it!! Giving 2 stars cause pick up was in time, and we were dropped at the winery first, picked from there and then dropped to the sand dunes - BUT WOULD NOT RECOMMEND - whats the point of booking this if there is no guide with you!! also being charged extra at the winery which is not mentioned here in the viator website!! total scam!

WORST TOUR EVER! DO NOT GET FOOLED - WORST TOUR EVER!
Was expecting a group tour, but turned out some guy in a hoopty picked my family and I and turned what was supposed to be a 4 hour drive to Tacama Winery into a 5 hour drive, because he took 2 wrong detours, stopped for gas, stopped for a snack, stopped for water and then stopped and picked up some random woman and her child (they were not related) and dropped them off, before finally dropping us off. He told us he would be in the parking lot after our tour so we left our car seat with him. When we finished, I looked at my phone to see that he send me a message that he was gone and was sending another driver. Naturally I was very upset, because he did not provide any details of who this new driver would be and had my baby's car seat. Mind you, we are only HALF way through the tour, this is the Winery and Huacachina Tour. I text him telling him to come back, with no reply so I reach out to the tour operator, again no reply, finally I reach back out to Viator. After an hour of trying to track the driver down and the and the company I hire another driver to take us back and tell Viator they are not only responsible for the refund of this trip, but my baby's car seat. Before we leave the driver shows up and is yelling at me !!! We get into a screaming match at the vineyard before he tosses my baby's car seat out of his car and leaves. This would have been a 0 stars, but I dont think Viator allows 0 stars.
On a positive note, shout out to the manager at the Tacama Vinery who was SOOOOO Helpful and SOOOO nice helping us find another taxi driver. Tacama was a great experience and our driver back to Lima was also awesome.
Viator should not allow companies like this to offer tours.
