Our guide Liz for the Nazca Lines was excellent - friendly, informative and attentive. It’s a long 2 days though. The flight was brilliant and the sand buggying. The boat to the Ballestas islands however was cramped and 60 people crammed in didn’t make it a pleasant experience for us. My husband is a wildlife photographer but due to the conditions was unable to even get his camera out. Not enough time at the islands, all very rushed. The rest went smoothly though. I think Perú hop could have been a bit more communicative as well for eg our pick up at the hotel in Lima was scheduled for 5.30am however our guide Christopher was messaging us at 5am to say he was outside waiting. No communication by email or text before then. Good trip overall just a bit chaotic.
Our guide Aymeth was awesome, funny and always there to explain any questions. She gave us tips and tricks on where to buy souvenirs and where to eat. Overall good tour and good value for the money. The only inconvenience we had was while waiting for instructions for day 2 in Huacachina, we were told to wait at our meeting point which we did, however nobody informed us that we had to go inside the wild rover so we ended up waiting for an hour until we recognized somebody from our tour and told us what to do. The second day part of the tour was also good, guide Loui was good at accommodating our needs. Overall good excursion and great guides! I recommend bringing layered clothes as you go from beach/ocean to desert and then plane with change of temperatures. Great job Aymeth and Loui!!!
