    It was ok

    I wish that I was aware of the fact that no one else booked this trip on that date. It was just me for many hours with a driver the didn’t speak English. My trip consisted of gas station food and some bathroom breaks. The translator was only used for booking the 30 minute flight which google translate would have done the job. The driver was nice but for the money I paid it didn’t add up.

    Response from the operator: Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are truly sorry to hear that your experience did not fully meet your expectations. Regarding the service being private, this is usually valued by many travelers as it offers greater comfort and flexibility, but we understand that it may have felt different from what you anticipated. We also take note of your comments about the language barrier, and we will continue working to strengthen communication and support throughout the journey. We are glad to know that you found your driver kind, and we truly regret that other aspects of the trip left you feeling that the value did not match the price. Your opinion is very important to us, as it helps us to keep improving and to provide a better balance between quality and cost for our future guests. Thank you once again for your trust, and we hope to have the opportunity to serve you better in a future visit to Peru. Kind regards, Aventuras al Sur

    Response from the operator: We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed your experience in Paracas, the oasis, and the dune buggy ride! Fresh ceviche is definitely a delight that makes the visit even more special. We are sorry that you couldn’t take the Nazca tour due to the runway being affected by the landslides from previous days. However, we’re glad you got to see the Candelabra, an impressive wonder. We hope you have the chance to return in the future and complete your adventure. Thank you for sharing your experience with us!

    Nazca and Ballestas

    This is a spectacular tour. Yes, it is very long. Long hours driving for "little" excitement, but absolutely worth it. Miguel was awesome driving and providing details. He assisted me the entire trip and was great in every aspect.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you found the tour to be spectacular and worth the long journey. It's true that it's a lengthy trip, but the unique experience and sights of Nasca make it unforgettable. We're especially glad Miguel made your trip enjoyable and provided excellent service. Your kind words motivate us to continue delivering great experiences. We hope to see you on another adventure soon!

    A Lot of "Butt Time." May Not Be the Best Option

    Everyone who visits Peru must see the Ballestas Islands and the Nazca Lines. But this tour may not be the best option. There is no way that the tour can be completed anywhere near the advertised 16 hours; it took us from 4:45am until 10:15pm...18.5 hours. That's without a stop for lunch and no leisure time at all. The trip from LIma wold be a long haul anyway, but this itinerary is unnecessarily tiring. Using the Nasca Airport instead of the Pisco Airport (near Paracas) for the Nazca Lines flight added more than 430km (267m) to the car ride. I've previously done a tour with identical activities, but using the Pisco Airport made that one about 3.5 hours shorter, and still allowed for a leisurely lunch and shopping in Paracas. The two activities (Ballestas boat tour, Nazca flight) take a total of about 2 hours. With this tour, you'll spend the remaining 16.5 hours sitting in a car. That's a lot of "butt time." THE GOOD: Private transportation. Miguel did a great job driving us safely, and his son Ricardo served as translator. We enjoyed the conversation along the way. They did the best they coud, given the itinerary. (My previous tour used public buses for travel between Lima and Paracas.) THE BAD: Lo-o-o-o-ng day: 900km (560m). MY ADVICE: Be sure the tour you choose does the Nazca flight from Pisco...not Nazca. The planes are bigger (12 passenger vs 7 passenger) and the airport is better organized. The flights are virtually identical. You'll be back in bed in Lima much sooner.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re sorry the itinerary didn’t meet your expectations. We appreciate your feedback regarding the long travel times and have taken note of your recommendation to depart from Pisco airport. We understand how valuable it is to optimize time during a tour like this. We’re glad to hear that, despite the inconveniences, you were pleased with the private transportation and the service provided by Miguel and Ricardo. They always strive to offer a safe and enjoyable experience. Your feedback is very important to us, and we will use it to improve our services and offer more comfortable and efficient options in the future. We hope to welcome you again on one of our other tours!

    Paracas and Nazca Lines Full Day: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lima.

    How much does Paracas and Nazca Lines Full Day cost?

    +

    Prices start at $465 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lima usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Paracas and Nazca Lines Full Day take?

    +

    Plan for about 16 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lima is not rushed.

    Is Paracas and Nazca Lines Full Day worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 14 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lima, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Paracas and Nazca Lines Full Day?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Paracas and Nazca Lines Full Day suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 16-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Paracas and Nazca Lines Full Day?

    +

    Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lima can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lima and add a light layer if any part of the 16-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Paracas and Nazca Lines Full Day start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lima within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Lima?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Lima experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Premium Paracas & Huacachina Day Trip from Lima with Sunset Toast, Discover Lima: Love Park, Historic Center, and its Catacombs., Paracas & Huacachina Premium Experience from Lima. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Lima?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Lima?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Paracas and Nazca Lines Full Day?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Overflight to the lines from the Nazca aerodrome,; and Ballestas islands tour in Paracas. Not included: Airport and departure taxes; and Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
