Just do it!!! Book this private tour not a group tour. - What an amazing day!!!! Don't go with anyone else. Carlos oUr driver and Jamie our guide were fantastic. Don't do a shared tour when you can do this tour that is private. No sharing a bus, you get to sleep longer in the morning and get home earlier at night. More importantly you get to have an experience that you won't have in any other tour. Jamie took care of us at every stop. You won't feel like a lost soul in a herd of people. Each excursion was awesome. The boat ride is not so fast you will be scared. The penguins were awesome! Breakfast in the morning was more than you could ask for. Jamie knows where to stop to get you a clean bathroom as well! The winery was informative and very enjoyable. Lunch was a highlight in a beautiful setting with amazing food. Jamie explains all the options that are available and which are the specialty of the restaurant. The dunes were much beyond what I expected. Boarding down the dune was fun but Jamie got us to the top in time to see the sunset. A big bus tour would not be able to make that happen with ease. We felt safe and comfortable the whole time. The vehicle was new and immaculate.
A few things to keep in mind:
1. Bring a light jacket or long sleeve shirt. The boat ride got a little chilly. Also, you may get a little wet but nothing to ruin the tour or the day.
2. Tips at the restaurant are included but not tips for your winery guide, dune buggy driver, driver and tour guide. Have small enough bills you can tip what you feel the excursion was worth.
3. Try to have small bills for buying from street vendors as well
4. Don't worry about water as they kept us stocked up and as well we did not need snacks as we're full all the time.
5. The winery takes credit cards as well as many vendors at the oasis.
6. It is a long day but worth every penny and every bit of energy to get up early and get home late.

Paracas/ Huacachina/ Ice day trip - We did the all day trip with Jaime as our guide and Carlos as our driver and it was amazing!! It was a private tour for just my boyfriend and I and they truly made the day feel so special. Everything was included and they went to great lengths to make sure we had waters at all time, opened the car door for us at every stop, brought us to our tours without waiting in lines, and our food was preordered and ready when we arrived at our tables. Jaime shared so much history about Peru with us as well. Overall would definitely recommend this trip!!

Best Huacachina / Paracas Tour!! - Perfect day from beginning to end.
Mario our guide and Jaime our driver were the absolute best!
We were picked up in a nice very clean vehicle. Then stopped for a delicious breakfast on our way to Ballestras Island tour. Then we visited a beautiful winery was an amazing lunch and drinks.
The dune buggy and sand boarding was the absolute best!
Mario was very knowledgeable, kind and accommodating. Jaime was extremely nice and courteous.
I HIGHLY recommend this tour.

Maravilhoso tour. Lovely places - Wonderful pre and post purchase service. Super attentive staff, well explained. Certainly our trip would not be the same with such dedicated staff to keep the customer happy. Our guide Jaime and driver Francisco are out of line. His care with us made this trip much more enjoyable. I will definitely indicate this tour and this company to everyone.

Incredible day in Lima! - This was truly an incredible experience, and my favorite thing I did while in Peru! Jaime (tour guide) and Carlos (driver) were awesome, and they were clearly very knowledgeable about Peru and made us feel at home the whole day. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone who visits Lima and is looking for an authentic trip through the Peruvian countryside.

Epic day trip with the best team! - This tour was absolutely perfect! From the early pickup, everything was smooth and well-organized. Henry, our driver, made the trip comfortable, and Jaime, our guide, was fantastic, super knowledgeable and fun
We started with a delicious local breakfast before heading to the Ballestas Islands. The speedboat ride was exciting, and seeing sea lions, penguins, and the famous Paracas Chandelier up close was incredible
In Ica, we visited a beautiful winery, learned about Pisco, and enjoyed a fantastic tasting session. Lunch was so delicious, and the Pisco Sour was the best we had in Peru!!
Huacachina was the highlight, racing through the dunes in a buggy was pure adrenaline, and sandboarding was so much fun!!!!!!
If you’re in Lima, don’t miss this tour! It’s the perfect mix of adventure, culture, and great food. Huge thanks to Henry and Jaime for making it unforgettable. Highly recommend!

Fun Ica experience! - The full day Ica experience was fantastic and Jaime was a very good guide. The boat ride out to the Ballestas Islands was scenic, even though the boat ride was a little sketchy - crowded and felt haphazard. The vineyard tour and lunch at the vineyard were both very nice. Finally, the dune buggy ride to Huacachina was a real thrill!
It’s a long day but totally worth it for a fun change of scenery from Lima.

Must Do Ica Day Trip!!! - Booked a day trip to Ica via Lima Gourmet Co. It was an unforgettable amazing experience! “Super” Mario was our guide
and Panchito was our driver. Mario was so passionate and knowledgeable about the history and culture of Peru; we were so much more able to appreciate the places that we visited! Panchito expertly navigated and maneuvered the roads, safely and we knew we were in good hands! The vehicle was so clean and the air conditioning was excellent! Overall the trip was smooth and seamless! Thanks to the wonderful kind people of Peru!
