5.00I want to extend these lyrics to express our appreciation for selecting Aura and Norbert as our companions on our journey to Ica and Paracas. They are both wonderful young people, intelligent, attentive and above all deserve to be recognized for their management towards us. Aura is a born historian, with a gift of spectacular people. Organized, sweet and attentive to others. Norbert, a top driver while still mentioning how responsible driving is, polite and intelligent. These two guys are not only guides and drivers, but young people who make a difference and deserve to reach their professional goals. We take them in our Soul and Heart with us to Puerto Rico with the immense desire that the Enterprise recognize their gesture because they are a diamond in the rough. More than grateful!!!! Alexandra Catoni And José Manuel López
AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!!

5.00Everything about the expiereince was incredible! Our guide, Amadias, was a fantastic genuine and pleasant guy. The trip is well thought out, packing as much in the iternary as possible while also not being too exhausting. The Pisco distellerry was a great way to start the trip (as you get your buzz on). You then take a short trip up to Huacachina where you take a little siesta or walk around the adorable little village on the Oasis. When taking the boat trip to the Ballistas, we kind of were a little unfortunate as not many animals were out and about. And the guide on the boat (different from Armadias) would speak 3 minutes and Spanish, then say 10 words in English on the same subject. Paracas is a beautiful place worth visiting. Overall a great experience and would recommend to any of my friends or family visiting Peru.
Amazing, fun experience; highly recommended!
