          Amazing private tour experience in and around Lima!
          Had the best personal trip experience with Lima VIP Tours. We did not preplan our tours around Lima well in advance but in a short notice Martin created for us 2 private tours for Caral and Paracas-Ica-Huachina Oasis and it was tailored to our start times and to our comfort and we got the best tour guide in Ronald. RONALD was amazing, knowing that my husband and I love to understand history and culture of a place, he brought us up to speed, enabled us to understand and enjoy our trips, taught us little words that we carried back home. Ronald opened us to the grastonomical delight that is Peruvian Cuisine. We also had the best driver possible to make our drives to each of these places memorable but do ask for Ronald, he is the best and amazing at his job.. A big thank you Martin and Ronald. We hope to keep coming back to Peru and you guys for more trips across the country!

          Beware of Overpricing
          Iam giving this agency one star for my trip to Paracas and Huacachina. My review is not about the tour itself, but about the price I was charged. I learned from the other passengers that I paid three times more than I should have. The guide was very professional and told me that he works with several agencies and was not responsible for the price difference. I contacted the agency's manager to ask for an explanation, but I received no response. Please compare prices before booking your tour. Personally, I will never use this agency again and I will not recommend it to my friends.

          Bad
          Booked the tour in the morning for the same day. After waiting 30min for the bus, I called the agency. They said I booked too late. Why is it then possible to book, if it is not available (either fault of the agency or the Tripadvisor platform)???

          Amazing Experience
          My family first adventure in Latin America and we decided to visit Lima Peru. My son was intrigue about the Oasis in Huacachina and I contacted Lima VIP tour if they can accommodate us the following Day. They responded quickly and reserved the day for us. It was seamless transaction. They picked us up 6AM in our hotel and from there we were on our way. 3 hours later, (we had a breakfast on the road) we arrived in Icas and hit the sand dunes . HIke and had a view of the Oasis on top of the desert. Then dune buggy time and sand boarding. There after, we head down and had a good amount of time at the Huacachina town itself. Then we head back to Pisco , had a lunch and Pisco tasting. by 3PM we headed back to Lima and dropped us off to our hotel. Our guide and driver is Awesome. Ronald Daza Gui is very professional, knowledgeable and share a lot if history about Peru, Lima, and other towns that we passed by. He is one of the best our guide. Thank you Lima VIP Tour for a great adventure.

          Excellent Private tour with Excellent Guide
          We booked this tour as a private tour which allowed us to customize the itinerary, such as stopping for coffee in the Barranco district. Our guide David was incredibly knowledgeable and told us about the city, but most importantly about his life in Lima, about the politics and about why it never rains. We were very happy that we booked this!

          Exciting sand buggy and sand boarding
          I departed from Lima and my tour was in Ica and Huacachina and we did sand buggy and sand boarding. It was a 3 1/2 hr drive and my tour guides Ron and Luis were amazing. From the time of pick up from my hotel Ron explained everything about the history of Peru. The sand buggy was absolutely incredible. The sandboarding was to die for. I’m so glad that I did it. At first it appears scary but after you slide down it’s not scary at all. It’s the funniest experience. I highly recommend both sand dunning or sand bugging and sand boarding. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Ron was so much fun and made the tour exciting.

          Great tour!
          Valeria was such a knowledgeable and fun tour guide. She took us around the attractions of the Lima area. Going over to the beautiful love park, the church and catacombs and then city square. Not only did she talk in depth about the history she made sure to make it relevant to us as well.

        Our tour guide Valeria was very knowledgeable in giving us a good, historical background of the cathedral, catacombs, other sites around Lima. She also explained the history of the artifacts in Museo Larco. Her fluency in English made it very easy for us. We were able to spend time at each site to our satisfaction and never felt rushed. She also took great photos of us !! I would recommend her wholeheartedly !!

        This deserves a 10 star rating!! We had the most wonderful day touring in Lima and everything was far better than our expectations. By the end of the day we had a thorough overview of Lima and Peruvian history.
        The car and driver were top class and the sites we visited were fascinating. Even the lunch stop was fabulous! We could not have asked for a better day out.
        The star of the day was our tour guide David Jhonnson Enriquez Olarte . He is a charming, knowledgeable and entertaining guide. He imparts exactly the right amount of information and seems to have the answer to every question! He clearly loves his city and his culture and the passion is infectious.
        We also very much appreciated that he started the tour by asking us what we wanted to achieve and then tailored our stops to match - he even took us to exactly the shopping stops we were looking for.
        If we had more time in Lima we would be booking this company and this guide again!
        PS : It is very reasonably priced!

        I took the city bus tour last week with the "J" team and they were fantastic. David Johnnson translated and taught me all about the downtown area, the Cathedral and Love Park. He was so enthusiastic it made it even more fun. Then we went into the chocolate museum which was great because of the free tasting, and tried some Pisco Sour drinks which were amazing! He even shared his favorite dish recipe that his mom makes so I could find it in a restaurant while I was there. Most of all I greatly appreciated him taking photos so I had the memories captured and I could be in some of them too! Thank you all for a really fun afternoon on my free day.

        I really enjoyed my time with this city tour of Lima. We went to Lovers park, the catacombs in the downtown and temple ruins. We were a small group and I was the only English speaking person - though I am a beginner at studying Spanish. Our guide David Jhonnson was inclusive and even helped me with my Spanish. He was knowledgeable and easy to be around. My group was really great and I felt like I was in the trusting hands of friends. Also, knowing that I was interested in the Peruvian gastro experience, he made a fantastic recommendation for a reasonably priced yet high end restaurant close to my hotel called Xona. And given that I wasn’t using my cellular data, he even made my reservation for me. I loved the restaurant! Thank you!!

        My family of 6 booked the City of Kings tour with Renzo as our guide. The tour was both informative and entertaining. Renzo was a fantastic tour guide, very knowledgeable and answered all questions pertaining to the tour specifically and historical Peruvian events in general. Because of the current political situation and protests, we had to deviate somewhat from the original plan. But we didn't feel short changed or that we were ever in danger. But for a strong police presence, we wouldn't have known anything was amiss. The catacombs were probably our favorite experience. The vehicle was comfortable, driver a pro at navigating traffic and Renzo's English was superb. I highly recommend this tour.

        Maria and our driver provided a great 5-hour tour of the city with pick-up at the airport hotel. It was a hop-on, hop-off, walking tour, with tastings of unique fruits, fun pisco sour variations, and a caramel-filled churro! Good to hear personal insights (in English) into the culture and history while seeing the ocean, Love Park, local art, the city square, and much more!
