I would 100% recommend this trip. Rose recommended this trip and it is exactly as she told me it would. I saw sea lions, I saw penguin, I had a great Pisco tasting met some great people. The huacachina sandboarding was so much fun. Special shout out to Avi. He was the best guide.

Said I couldn’t buy water for 2 hours after the trip ended, when I could have bought it before we got in the van to go home. I had to argue with them to let me stop and get water after being in the desert for 2 hours.
Then “dinner” was stopping at a crappy gas station that only had junk food. Didn’t eat for 8 hours, then got dropped off where no food was open because it was 11:30pm.
Zero communication about how there wouldn’t be any food for dinner. We could have ordered food for pickup and everyone would have plenty of time to get it instead of the 15 minutes at the gas station.

Great trip with Diego who was very attentive. Lunch and wine tasting was also a great experience. Huaccacina desert experience with sunset view at the end was memorable

The experience was great, our guide Diego was very professional and gave us historical information on the bus, he spoke both English and Spanish very well. At the same time, the whole tour is very flexible, we can choose whether we want to participate in the winery lunch or want to arrive at Huacachina in advance. I even took an extra day at Paracas for the Golden Shadow tour in the early evening. The overall experience was great! I really enjoyed the pisco winery experience, I tasted a lot of different flavors of wine. Huachachina's driver are very nice and kind to take pictures for us. Overall it was an absolutely extraordinary experience and highly recommended!
