We had a great experience with Albert. We were not in Paracas long enough to be able to tour the National Reserve with him but he guided us on the must-see attractions in the park including the Laguna Rosa and an exceptional view of the flamingos within the reserve. He and his team are very friendly and responsive to your needs! I would highly recommend going through this agency when you find yourself in Paracas.
Excellent tour with our guide Jaime. He was very informatice AND very funny!!! The sea lions we’re the highlight of the adventure for me, but the girls lovvved the penguins.
We did a private tour of the nature reserve and a boat cruise of Islas Ballestas with Albert Tours, both were excellent. The guides were extremely knowledgeable, informative and friendly. On the private tour, Albert bought binoculars and a bird book, allowing us to see and identify so many more birds! On the boat cruise, the guide was very good at spotting wildlife (lots of penguins, sea lions, birds and dolphins) and took us to some great spots. I couldn’t fault Albert at all - the perfect tour company!
Maribel and I had the most amazing experience exploring the Paracas reserves. Albert was the most unexpected guide with a vast knowledge and history of the place. He was very kind and gracious and took his time to make sure we saw as much as we wanted before taking us back to our hotel. This was one of my highlights of Paracas. Thank you, Albert. Emmanuel
As a single dad with two kids, we made our first international trip to Peru. I had been to Peru before, but not Paracas. We arrived in Paracas by bus and went into town for lunch first and then grocery shopping since we stayed in an Airbnb about 10 minutes from town. At the restaurant, me and the kids were eating lunch I came across Albert. Our Airbnb host had also recommended Albert earlier prior to our arrival. Both Albert and his son Nelson, were kind and patient with me and my kids. They were honest, and fair. Explained to us how everything works. After our lunch, Albert took us to the local market for groceries. Dropped us off at the Airbnb. We did all our tours with him and every step of the way he sent above and beyond to take care of us. My kids still reminisce about Albert and his son.
