Edwin is the BOMB! Amazing trip - It was a very, very long day, but totally worth it! The experience was worth the value if not more than the cost. I enjoyed it a lot because it was a smaller group and you can see the larger groups being heard around like cats. Edwin was amazing. His English and Spanish skills were amazing and appreciated. He was very personable and friendly; he took the time to get to know you. He really worked hard during the long day. The best part was the Dune Bugging. Such an amazing experience and so much fun.

Hard to run smoothly and it shows - Our guide was not very English proficient, and although he was a nice guy, this created several serious issues and made for a very challenging day. Timing on things, meeting locations, activities we were supposed to be doing, etc. The most disappointing thing was that the food in Peru is not consistently safe. We were on another tour and had this one already booked. We both got very sick on the other tour thanks to the recommendation of that operator, and we were just simply unable to attend this tour on the date we had scheduled. Unfortunately, we were violently ill within 24 hours of departure. They claimed that they had to charge us anyway because it would cost them that we weren't attending. They would have kept all our money had I not followed through with my complaint. They did kindly let us reschedule for a serious penalty, but we found out that it absolutely did not cost them anything for us not to have attended the first time out. This is very disappointing because it shows they didn't really care about the health and safety of the guests/clients nearly as much as making money. All that said, it was a great tour. We saw penguins in their natural habitat, got to ride in dune buggies, and sled down sand dunes, and we got to see how Pisco is made. The communication issue caused some members of our group to not be able to sit together on the boat ride out to the island. The boat was very rough and lots of people got very wet. All those things were fun for us, but we hardly had any time for shopping and the souvenirs in Lima are 4x what they cost in other places. It's just a lot to pack in to one day. The bus driver could have used any of the opportunities to get gas, but waited until he was almost out and we had to stop on the road back to Lima to fill up. Silly. The electrical outlets are very low power and it was hot on the bus all day even though it was only 71 degree Fahrenheit outside. Plus, it's just common sense not to listen to videos on your phone or have the volume up on games and such, but the tour guide took no action as people were doing that. Hard to sleep when people have that racket going at 5am.
