Incredible experience - It was an excellent experience doing the tours with Benjamin and Antonio, everything was super organized, excellent all-inclusive service, they came to pick us up at the indicated time and the transportation was quite comfortable, we would definitely choose them again.

Private tour worth it - We reserved the private tour, and were pleasantly surprised to find there was a dedicated driver and translator/guide for just the two of us. Other than the boat tour to Ballesteros, the schedule was flexible. Since we had such a blast in the dune buggy, the driver, Antonio, called up his bud who agreed to take us on a custom tour to watch the sunset for a good price. It was definitely worth it, as we had him drive faster and do more extreme things than what would normally be done on a group tour.

Great day spent!! - We spent the day with Antonio & Benjamin for our private tour of Paracas & Huacachina from Lima. My family of 5 (2 adults, 3 Children) enjoyed every minute of it. Especially the Pisco tasting and Dune buggy ride with Sand boarding. We would highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting a fun filled day
A huge thank you from us,

Totally unprofessional - Never again!
I booked a one-day tour through viator.com. The provider then told me that I should cancel the tour hnd better book it directly with him because viator.com charge him too many fees. Well, okay, I wanted to help this little Versnstalter, and I did.
This was a big mistake. First the car was broken and they kept me waiting for half a day. The tour could then also do the next day. However, I was not picked up at the hotel at 6.30am as agreed. The guide was looking for me at the airport, which is completely crazy. We had to rush all day due to the one hour of wasted time.
The Balletas Islands were not approached as offered, but a very small island where there was nothing to see.
The dunes were ok but very touristy. Just for the dunes to have a 16 hour day, I would not do more and certainly not with this organizer!
