★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 107 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $42Our pick

At Haku Tours in Miraflores, you prepare a Pisco Sour and ceviche with a professional chef and guide. The two-hour class begins at 7:00 pm at Av. José Larco 724, uses fresh ingredients, and keeps you working rather than watching. Vegetarian adaptations are available if requested when booking.

“We had a great time as a group. There were 7 of us and three others not part of our group, but the chef and sous chef did a great job building camaraderie between us all. The food was amazing and they tried hard to make sure everyone had a job or part to play. It was fun bouncing back and forth between the kitchen and the eating table. The host had great English and pisco sour/ceviche knowledge. We got a 14 page recipe book with more than just pisco sour and ceviche recipes, so it was definitely worth it! Would highly recommend!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 82 reviews · 5 to 6 hours (approx.) · from $30

Spend five to six hours touring Tacama, El Arrabal, Bodega Nietto, and other Ica producers with a small group of up to 12. You’ll taste pisco, wine, and cachina, hear local stories from guides such as William and Raúl, and have free time for lunch. Mondays substitute Vista Alegre for Tacama.

“My husband and I had a blast on our Pisco tour! The tour company was super communicative and gave great instructions on where to meet up since we were coming into town via bus as opposed to at one of the local hotels. We met up with our tour guide William and he was a total rock star and took us around to three Pisco Distilleries in the Ica area. Some were nicer than others but all were quite fun to go and see. It felt like touring around with a local friend as opposed to a "tour guide". Thanks for a great time William!”

Being American, and failed miserably trying to learn the language, it was great that Valentine's English was supreme. Would recommend. The dinner part was amazing as we had dinner with him and several of his family members.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 56 reviews · 14h 30m · from $220

Leave Lima before dawn for a full day in southern Peru. Cruise to the Ballestas Islands for sea lions and penguins, visit a pisco winery, then enjoy Huacachina with sandboarding and dune-buggy rides. Small groups, hotel pickup, English or Spanish guides, and a return to Lima around 8 p.m. make this a practical choice for a tight schedule.

“We had an incredible day! We had an incredible guide Rudy and driver. Rudy was so informative, knowledgeable and helpful! We had a lovely group. It was great getting back to our hotel by 8pm after a long day in the car (I noticed all the other tours didn’t arrive back in Lima until at least 11pm!!). It was a long day because of the location of the destinations but it was definitely worth it, we saw some amazing things and had a lot of fun! Would 100% recommend to anyone visiting Lima!”

8.Pisco Sour Secrets: Hands-On Mixology in Historic Cusco

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 50 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $35

At Casa Intrepid, a restored Cusco venue with original Inca walls, a local English-speaking bartender guides you through three Piscos, fresh lime, egg white, bitters, and the art of shaking a Pisco Sour. The 4 p.m. adult-only class lasts about two to two and a half hours and ends where it begins.

“My boyfriend and I loved this tour! Lilyana was our tour guide and it ended up being just us until the very end when the other three people showed up at our last stop. I highly recommend this tour because Cusco can seem a bit dodgy and with a local it made me feel very at ease. Lilyana was super sweet and offered me a poncho when it stared raining. She also recommended a restaurant to eat at the next night which we went to and it was delicious. My favorite part of the tour was the last stop at the pisco making bar where we got to get behind…”

“We got a text the night before confirming our pick up at 5am. Alexandra met us out side our hotel and the driver (Kemsi, I think his name was) came a few minutes later to pick us up. The car had bottles of water for us and breakfast. Alexandra told us our itinerary for the day on the way to the Oasis. On our journey she guided us through the history and geography of Peru. She was very knowledgable and answered all the questions we had. At the oasis we took a tour around before heading up to the sand dunes where we went for a drive in the buggies…”

We topped off with the pisco tour which we enjoyed very much. I blv our guide was juan. We left with 3 bottles of pisco!”

Travel by comfortable coach from Lima to Ica, taste local pisco and wine at a small winery, then ride a V8 dune buggy across Huacachina’s huge dunes. You’ll have time for sandboarding, photos, and a desert sunset before the late return to Lima. Hotel pickup is offered in Miraflores, Barranco, and San Isidro.

“This tour was overall a good experience. It wasn’t 100% what we were expecting but we still had a good time. First off, the bus ride to Ica was extremely comfortable. Upon arrival in Ica, we were greeted by our local driver who was very helpful/accommodating. He drove us to a small wine/pisco distillery which was fun but we expecting more of a tour of the premises instead of just a small tasting. We then went to the restaurant on the premises for lunch. The food was okay…definitely not the best meal we’d had in Peru. The only bump we really hit was after lunch, we were told we were…”

We did some walking around Cusco but our tour guide went very slow so it could be relaxing. A lot of the tour guides in Cusco are very nice, funny and can speak really good English.”

“Sophia (Sofia), our guide was so genuinely caring about how we were enjoying our night. We ran into some unexpected problems due to a festival that same night, but she made sure that we were well taken care of and helped guide us through the city with quite an insightful manner. She helped us find a pharmacy as well to help with my wife’s altitude sickness and made sure we had made it back to our place of stay safely. The planetarium was an amazing experience with another guide having a lot of knowledge on what we were looking at and was able to answer all our questions. The pisco…”
