The day was lovely, and the hike up to the Sun God temple ruins was vigorous but not too much for a 70 year old in fair shape! The view of the ocean made it worthwhile, not to mention standing on sacred ground for the Inca people. The immensity of the archaeological site really struck me; essentially, I learned, all of Lima area is built on top of layers from ancient cultures. To touch the stones that workers used 1000 years ago to build a temple is the best way to learn history. A very good tour! Take sunscreen and water; it is warm and dry there!

Once in a lifetime amazing expereince
This was an amazing full day experience never to be repeated for me so very special; it was a long day and very tiering but well worth it. My guide was excellent as was the driver. It was expensive for me as a solo traveller as no concession was made to reflect this.

Great Experience, but Very Rushed

Great Experience, but Very Rushed
We had a wonderful day and overall great experience. We were able to see a lot in a very short amount of time, but the pace felt rushed throughout the day. We even ended up paying our tour operator and driver extra just so we could stop for food at the end, as no time had been carved out for meals.That said, the tours at each location were truly 5-star and a definite highlight. We just wish we had a bit more time to enjoy each stop without feeling so rushed. Hats off to our driver—he was incredibly fast!

Sea lions are cute

Sea lions are cute
This tour was a lot of fun, getting to see and swim near sea lions! We have Sebastian and Segundo as our guides and they were fantastic! The penguins weren’t out but we did see one on top of the rocks posing for us. Nobody warns you for the smell of the sea lions though! It is putrid! Really really bad, so if you get sea sick this smell will not help. It is like one big sewage backup! I recommend the tour but be warned of the smell

A good morning activity for a day in Lima! While no sea lions swam right next to me, they were close to us in the water. I highly recommend this experience!

Nice tour with many beautiful sights
Great tour! Many nice sights in one long day. The guide was nice and friendly. I really enjoyed seeing the Penguins, the flight over the Nazca lines and the ride in car at Huacachina in the sunset. I think we may have had time to eat in the restaurant at Nazca, it was a bit uncomfortable eating in the car, though we saved some time going back to Lima. Good to eat after the flight as it was quite an experience for the body. This was an intense tour with so many nice and beautiful sights.

Three incredible experiences in one day. It makes for a long day but very much worth it! I did wish Paracas was the first stop but not a major issue.

Amazing Experience (but cramped van)

Amazing Experience (but cramped van)
Great tour with experienced and friendly guide, Jesus, and his skilled driver. Appreciated his talks with digital photos. Expect a long day with three amazing stops - boat tour, air over Nazca, and dune buggies but long drives between. Highly recommended. Only negative and not 5 stars was that the back seats in the van were exruciating painful for anyone over 5'2".

Amazing place to see penguins and sea lions
We had friends who went to Ballestas Islands and saw a few penguins but we saw lots and sea lions. There were babies so all the sea lions didn’t want jump in but there were plenty enough.

Amazing Experience
AMAZING, must do! Extremely safe, water if cold but do-able. We did not wear a wet suit and acclimated in 30 seconds. Sea lions are mere inches away form you. Top 10 experiences of my life. Saw penguins, dolphins, variety of spices of birds, and a mountain full of sea lions! You won’t regret it, book it. Shout out to our guide Alex, 10/10!
