This tour is the best deal - includes all the fees, and transfer to/from the hotel in Miraflores made it super convenient. Got to see all the various birds, Humboldt penguins, and of course, seeing, and hearing, the sea lions up close in their natural habitat was spectacular.

I worked with Huacachina Tours to set up the perfect bachelor/bachelorette experience for my best friend, her future husband, and 20 of our closest friends. From start to finish the experience was incredible! We booked the Ica pisco and wine tasting, followed by the dune buggy and sandboarding experience, as well as private glamping for the night. They set up a lunch spot, prepared dinner at our campsite, and took us to breakfast and the food at all 3 locations was great! We were very pleased with everything. Everyone from the Huacachina Tours team was so kind, helpful, and really went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. We had an amazing time and we're all blown away with how much fun we had and how well everything was set up. I highly recommend this company!

The Nazca Lines represent one of the greatest wonders of Peru, and one of the most visited destinations by tourists from around the world. It is impressive to witness the works of an ancient culture, and obviously it raises certain questions: How could they be perfectly designed in this great desert? What were the exact purposes? How did such an ancient civilization create these majestic figures? Will the figure of the astronaut mean something special?

Inclusions: Private transportation, Nazca lines overflight, Visit to the Huacachina oasis to take photos

Exclusions: Airport tax for Nazca lines. US $ 10, Lunch, Buggies price US $ 20.00

Great trip to Caral! A way to get away from Lima, we were on a business trip and decided to explore more, we were picked up early and stopped for coffee/breakfast on our way to Caral. Otto was our guide and he was help throughout the trip. The tour guide explaining the smallest details about everything and after our visit to Caral we had lunch next to the ocean. Again an amazing day trip. Highly recommended, I have nothing but good things to say about these guys!

My friend and I had a great experience with Sam. The day started off with getting picked up at the bus station. The car we drove in was very nice and comfortable, the air-conditioning kept the car at a cool temperature. Sam was very informative throughout the drive. The Tacama vineyard was absolutely beautiful and breathtaking. The tour was nice and thoughtfully planned out. The next destination was good as well. Lunch was included and it was delicious (but you will have to pay for the drinks you order). The Dune buggy through the desert and Sand boarding was the best part of our day. It was a great experience and quite the adventure. Highly recommended!!

All was perfect. Nazca lines were from other world, I can't believe that the people of that time have been able to make tremendous drawings on the ground without having to see them from the sky, I was totally impressed. Thank you Andy for teaching us all this, we are very happy, we have known Nazca hahaha, a dream for a long time ...

Where do I start? I’m a solo traveler who booked a ticket to Peru 4 days before the flight and I’ve never been to South America and nor can I speak Spanish which made me anxious. Peru Hop was the first company I contacted via email and they have been super helpful!! From all the communication, the arrangements, Peru hop made it so so easy!! It’s not like the hop on hop off buses in Europe, this is a tour full of experiences and I’m always skeptical for paying to travel around but this is well worth it. More importantly the guides were great in particular Ricardo!! This guy made me feel so welcomed, talked to me like we’ve know each other for ages. He answered all my questions, made enquirer for me, and looked after me. Alex have such good insight to the national reserve. I met wonderful people and had the best time of my life. I’m booking Peru Hop again for Cusco to lake titicaca. I don’t usually write reviews but I had to share how good they were.
