Great family company you can trust!
We cannot say enough good things about Martin and the whole of Crown Travel/Transport! Our family was safely transported from Lima to Huacachina with a fun Pisco stop/tour along the way! Sand skiing was arranged for that evening and then we were taken to our hotel in Paracas! More fun the following day on a boat around Ballestros islands and then driving in the nearby Preserve - amazing views!!!! Martin was informative, personable and a great driver - we couldn’t ask for anything more! Thank you for making this part of our trip so memorable!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was a real pleasure to welcome your family and be part of your Peru adventure. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the journey from Lima to Huacachina, the Pisco experience, the Ballestas Islands, and the breathtaking landscapes of the Paracas National Reserve. Your kind words about Martin mean a great deal, and we will be sure to share them with him. Thank you for choosing Crown, we truly hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure in Peru!

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full Day tour Paracas and Ica: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lima.
How much does Full Day tour Paracas and Ica cost?
+
Prices start at $460 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 tour Paracas and Ica take?
+
Plan for about 11 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 tour Paracas and Ica worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 25 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 tour Paracas and Ica?
+
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 tour Paracas and Ica suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full Day tour Paracas and Ica?
+
Around 9 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 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full Day tour Paracas and Ica 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.
