    We found Tampa Colorado more interesting than we had anticipated. Eduado was an excellent guide - personable and knowledgeable. Olenka guided us to Ballestas islands and was also good. She did a remarkable job of keeping us together in the crowds of a public holiday. Weather was cold on the boat section of the tour. However hot inland. An opportunity for a meal/snack break would have been good.

    A very organised tour. The guides were local and ensured we had full information, views and support. The guide at Tambo Colorado had in-depth knowledge of the site, with his museum background. Very friendly and assistive. We did get some ocean spray crossing to the Ballestas Islands, and that is to be expected. The staff ensured that we stopped t see all the wildlife. We developed a good understanding of the birdlife and sea lions who had recently calved.

    Both the Ballestas Island & Tambo Colorado trips were wonderful. The lady tour guide ‘Olinga’ was very detailed and explained very well for the boat trip. Fabio was a lively guide at Tambo, however, he spent a lot of time talking with the driver in Spanish during the drive that I felt was a bit distracting. But overall I enjoyed the whole tour very much.

    This tour was cancelled as Tambo Colorado was closed for Maintenance and replaced by Ballestas Islands and Paracas National Park, so disappointed. The day was enjoyable but NOT what I wanted to do and I think this tour was less expensive but no refund.

    <p>Ballestas Island has plenty of birds and penguins. There were only 2 of us on the long ride to Tambo Colorado. The ruins had a lot of graffiti. The driver/guide did not speak English so we did not get a good description of the ruins. I would not recommend the Tambo Colorado portion of the tour.</p>
