Well organized and amazing tours! - We had a Nazca and Oasis of Huacachina tour with this company and our tour guide is Jhonatan and driver Alejandro. They showed up promptly at 4:30am to pick us up from the hotel and our journey starts! It is a long drive (6 hours from Lima to Nazca one way) and our guide provide good explanation about the culture/agriculture etc when passing different cities. Overall everything is well organized and nothing to worry about. It is a long day but it is an experience you would never forgot! Highly recommended.

Fantastic organization and tours! - We enjoyed the service of this company for a private tour at Ballestas and Nazca, another tour to Barranco and Pachacamac and also airport transfer.
Everything is very well organized, Jhony always available via whatsapp for any need, the driver (Alejandro) and the guide very precise, nice, ready to fulfill any need and helped us to enjoy our time.
Highly recommended, you cannot find a better solution.

Must see - Beautiful places to visit and definitely a must!
The rating is for the tour operator rather than the attractions.
Pros for lima city tour - 1. Jhonatan tovar our guide was friendly and knowledgeable of the places we visited and went passed. 2. Punctual pick up 3. Car was comfortable 4. Driver was safe
Cons 1. Prior to our tour I had questions of the flight. Since the flight operator didn't have a website and it's my first time flying a light aircraft, I asked further questions on the reputation and safety. Someone at the company got really offended by this which I wasn't happy about.

Would NOT recommend - This was our first and last tour with Viator. The overall experience was a HUGE disappointment. I would recommend using a different tour company. My wife and I were booked to go to Ballestas and Nazca by car. We were picked up on time at the right location, but our tour guide was not there. After a 20 minute trip we picked up our guide, Enrique. Our guide began by telling us we would be going to Nazca, but not to Ballestas. We showed him our reservation and he "made some calls". He then confirmed we would be able to do both stops. At Ballestas the guide wanted us to pay for the boat trip tickets which were already included in our prepaid price. We were not given an opportunity to buy lunch and when we asked to get something our request was refused. We continued our trip to Nazca. When we arrived at the Nazca airport around 3:30pm we were told there weren't enough people to fill a plane and we would be required to pay an extra $100 per person if we wanted to fly. They also suggested if we didn't want to pay the extra we could come back tomorrow. After a lot of pressure from our guide and the airline representative to pay the extra $100pp it was agreed (with the intervention of the local trip coordinator) that we would "only" pay an extra $105. The guide and airline wanted us to pay with cash, but we refused and used our credit card. The taxes that were not included with our tour had to be paid with SOL which was not disclosed in the tour info. At the end of the tour our guide who loaned us SOL for taxes, tried to add in the cost of the boat ticket. The total time we spent riding in the car was over 16 hours. We enjoyed seeing the Nazca lines and Ballestas, but the overall trip was ruined by the guide and extra fees. We contacted Viator and let them know what had happened, but they declined to refund any of the $105. I would not recommend using Viator.
