Early Pickup Without Name Check or Communication — We Were Left Behind

1.00We were really looking forward to this tour, but it turned into one of the most frustrating parts of our trip. The confirmation email clearly stated a 5:30 a.m. pickup at our Lima hotel. We were in the lobby by 5:05 a.m., ready and waiting, but no one approached us, called our names, or made any effort to identify us. The operator later claimed they “attempted” pickup but arrived early and never verified names — they simply asked for “two people” and left. We received no communication prior to the tour, and no response to our messages the morning of. Afterward, we were sent a video as “proof,” but the audio is obstructed by a loud ringing and it does nothing to confirm proper procedure or identity verification. We were then told we could either try to meet the group four hours away or reschedule for another day — but we were on a carefully planned vacation with a full itinerary, and neither option was remotely realistic. We followed all instructions, were on time, and were ready. The failure was entirely on the operator’s side — early arrival, no name check, no contact, and no accountability. We paid over $500 for a tour we never got to experience. Viator should seriously reconsider working with this provider.

5.00You get what you pay for!! Amazing and super organized. Must do when you come to Peru! Franco our tour guy was amazing the first day as well as Nylka de second day. We loved the Nasca lines and the pilote was excellent helping us identifying the drawings from above.
Great and well organized!

5.00Two day trip to Nazca. First day we drove to paracas for a boat trip. Beautiful island saw penguins, pelicans and sea lions. Then on to huacachina. The oasis was stunning and the sand dunes like nothing I have seen before. The sand buggy was quite extreme but a fantastic experience then surfing down the dunes was also a lot of fun. The next morning 3 hours on the coach down to Nazca. The lines and drawings are amazing but the flight was a lot of turning to allow for photos and I was very sick as were a few people, be warned. It was then a 7 hour drive back to lima. The trip was definitely worth it and was very well organised
Unforgettable!

5.00Super fun, especially the buggies in Huacachina! I would strongly recommend doing this two-day trip over the one-day one without Nazca as at least you spread the long drive to/from Lima over two days
