Bad experience
👎👎👎 Not to recommend! Or at least not with this company. The service is very bad for so much money! I didn't get any information before the tour. After i asked for details i got it on the day before the tour at about 10pm!! Pick up was at 5:35, the bus was about at 6 at my hotel. The bus was in a very bad condition , one part of the seatbelt was missing, the seatpocket was torn, i couldn't turn off the AC above me so it was blowing and blowing and was very cold. The bus was screeching constantly, it was so loud in the rear of the bus that i didn't hear anything (and we spent about 10 hours in the bus), it stank very badly in the bus because of the lavatory. I have no idea what the tourguide told for us during the day. The tourguide told me the breakfast is not included for me, i asked him to check it again... It was included... He asked me what i want for lunch , i tought it is included too because he didn't say anything else. After the meal he just asked if i paid. I was completely confused, it was not expensive but i didn't get any information about it before. Very bad communication!!! The vinetasting was only on english (it is not a vine tasting, only some alkohol in a plastic shot cup) , i asked a lady there why, she told me that the tourguide didn't say that some of us don't understand Spanish.... Thats why i booked the english tour!! I asked the tourguide about it but he didn't care. The boat tour(1 hour 40 minutes) and the buggy tour (1 hour), were nice, the guides there were not from this company. It is a very very high price for a bad service!!! Bad vehicle, bad organization, bad communication, not professional tourguide. I can not recommend this tour and this company.

Overall, ok
Overall a decent trip. We did everything that was expected. The biggest issue was the lack of food. The viator description said that luch would be provided but that was never the case. When the guide contacted us he said lunch wouldn't be provided but a full breakfast would be provided, this also didn't happen, we got a juice box and crackers. They also did not budget time for dinner and there weren't places to buy dinner even though we reached Lima at 12am in the night. The bus that was used was extremely comfortable, you could easily sleep on it if you wanted. We were also seated in the back of the boat during the boat tour and had to smell gas burning for the entire trip. The actual things we saw were really cool, the tour itself wasn't the best.

EXTREMELY SATISFIED!
Joel & Ramon where super friendly and kind and even had the empathy to help me with a missing tour issue that i had. I was supposed to take the tour to Ballesta Islands and Ica's Sand Dunes on saturday, but due to unfortunate circunstances, me and my partner couldn't make it that day, so they had the courtesy to arrange the tour for us on the next day. We where very pleased with the experience, our guide, Ramon, had a lot of knowledge of the area, and even took us to some extra places for us to meet. We were picked up and returned to our Hotel door, we where given time to have breakfast, lunch and dinner and extra time in every place to take photos. Our favorite part of the tour were the Sand Buggies! So much fun! Thanks to Las Adventure for the lovely day!
Response from the operator: It was a pleasure to help you to change the date of your tour and life can happen circumstances unexpected and we know how hard is to earn money for holidays to come to Peru or any where else, las adventure and our team are always be at your disposal. thank you very in your confidense in us. Sincerely - LAS ADVENTURE

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full Day Group Tour Paracas and Ica from Lima: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lima.
How much does Full Day Group Tour Paracas and Ica from Lima cost?
+
Prices start at $120 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lima usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Full Day Group Tour Paracas and Ica from Lima take?
+
Plan for about 15 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lima is not rushed.
Is Full Day Group Tour Paracas and Ica from Lima worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lima, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full Day Group Tour Paracas and Ica from Lima?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Full Day Group Tour Paracas and Ica from Lima suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 15-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full Day Group Tour Paracas and Ica from Lima?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lima can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lima and add a light layer if any part of the 15-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full Day Group Tour Paracas and Ica from Lima start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lima within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Lima?
+
On Outty we rank every Lima experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Paracas & Huacachina Premium Experience from Lima, Day Tour From Lima: Paracas, Huacachina, Pisco Vineyard & Sunset, Premium Paracas & Huacachina Day Trip from Lima with Sunset Toast. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Lima?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Lima?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
