Great tour! - I loved this tour! The Ballestas Islands portion was separate from the National Reserve portion; both were good. The Islands tour was provided by a boat company, but the National Reserve tour was done by the Paracas Explorer staff, and they were great. Driver and guide were super friendly and helpful, the guide was VERY knowledgeable about all aspects of the reserve. Lunch was at a restaurant the guide recommended, and that was excellent too!

Walk with very good attention and support - Everything went very well, the Franklin Guide was super attentive and patient as we were with a baby and two elderly people. We were accommodated so we could do two shifts so we could do the boat ride so someone could keep the baby.

Paracas - Breathtaking doesn't put it into words. Beautiful scenery you won't see anywhere else in the world. I want to take the pictures I have and turn them into puzzles!

Nice tour to discover the region - Nice tour, especially in the morning. We have seen penguins, sea lions and various birds. The 2. Part in the desert was also very nice. From our point of view you could skip the last stop for lunch, instead finish the tour 1 hour earlier in Paracas.

I would recommend the national park, not the Ballestas Islands. - The tour of the Ballestas Islands is an unseen sight, 20 min scarce in the islands and in a hurry to make another tour at 2h and make more money. Too bad because if it was done more calmly it would be worth a lot more. The tour of the Paracas National Reserve is more recommended, different viewpoints are seen and you can enjoy the surroundings quietly.

BAD EXPERIENCE! - We had a very bad experience with this tour: 1) The service said with hotel pickup, we assumed it included the return and we were told no, that the return to the hotel had additional cost. 2) We were left more than an hour waiting between the end of activity of the Ballestas Islands and the start of the National Reserve Tour 3) The very dirty Tour truck in National Reservation and also the seat I touched was that of the rim so I could not sit properly. It was very uncomfortable all the way! And since it was full, there was no other place. I don't think that seat should be assigned to anyone. Plus it was a really boring tour.
