“Don’t Miss the Nazca Lines! - Everything was awesome with Get2Peru, but what really stood out was the personal touch. Juan picked us up early in the morning in Nasca, and we kicked off the land tour, which was amazing. The flight was next—the Lines are mind-blowing and so mysterious. I totally recommend it, go see them from the air and on the ground, the trip to Nasca is definitely worth it. Big thanks to Juan and Mily for setting everything up! They have an awesome restaurant right by the bus station. I loved the pisco sour and the coffee!” - Reviewed on 2025-02-21
