“One of the best tours ever! It has a boat ride, wildlife sightings, desert buggy drive, pisco tasting, sandboarding, and free desserts tasting. Our tourguide Oswaldo is the best, he had so much energy and provided great service from at 4am until 11pm when the tour ended. He had speakers for music to make the mood great, candies/oil for sea sickness, and provided interesting info about the sites. He even facilitated the pisco sour tasting which was great! Our driver wilfredo drove smoothly as well, the bus was very comfortable which was helpful as it was a long drive. 100/10 would recommend!”

Being American, and failed miserably trying to learn the language, it was great that Valentine's English was supreme. Would recommend. The dinner part was amazing as we had dinner with him and several of his family members.”

9.Larco Museum, Pisco Old Tavern and Magic Water Circuit Evening Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 66 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $75

Review of Lima’s Larco Museum, pisco tavern, and Magic Water Circuit tour, with practical advice on value, timing, guides, and what to expect.

“The guide was very knowledgable at the museum. The light show was very disappointing. I booked the tour for the interest in the light show. You could do the light show on your own for only 2 soles. If you are looking for an English guide, be aware that they are usually small groups or by yourself. I was by myself on this tour - could be why I didn't enjoy it.”
