Tutto fantastico, super disponibili in tutto, esperienze da non perdere per visitare luoghi mozzafiato nel migliore dei modi!! Héctor Hernández González2025-08-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Decidimos hacer nuestro viaje a Perú con pocos meses de antelación, y cuando fuimos a comprar las entradas para Machu Picchu online, ya no quedaban. Al llegar al país empezamos a preguntar si había alguna posibilidad de conseguirlas, ya que con la nueva normativa es posible comprar tickets de forma presencial en Aguas Calientes. Nos encontramos con varias personas que ofrecían esa opción, pero con precios absolutamente desorbitados, así que las fuimos descartando… hasta que apareció en nuestras vidas José, con su agencia en Paracas: JD Adventure Travel. José es un tipo sensacional: serio, formal, sincero y muy amable. Le avisaron de que estábamos desayunando en una cafetería y se presentó directamente allí, se sentó con nosotros y nos explicó con total claridad cómo funcionaba el nuevo sistema y qué posibilidades reales teníamos. Nos transmitió mucha confianza desde el primer momento. De hecho, nos ofreció que pagáramos solo el 50% del tour por adelantado y que abonáramos el otro 50% una vez que tuviéramos las entradas para Machu Picchu en la mano. Y nos aseguró que, si no conseguíamos las entradas por algún motivo y el tour no se podía llevar a cabo, nos devolvería el dinero sin problema. Ese nivel de seriedad y compromiso fue clave para decidirnos. Desde ese momento, estuvo en contacto permanente con nosotros por teléfono, informándonos de los últimos cambios y novedades en el acceso a Machu Picchu. Siempre atento, siempre dispuesto a ayudar. Finalmente, por motivos personales no pudimos cuadrar la fecha para ir a Machu Picchu, y José, tal y como nos prometió, nos devolvió el dinero adelantado sin ningún tipo de rodeo. Estamos infinitamente agradecidos, y cuando volvamos a Perú, contaremos sin duda con él y con su agencia. Un ejemplo de profesionalidad y buen trato. Totalmente recomendable. Gabri “GabeStudio72” Pes2025-08-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Esperienza fantastica con JD Adventure a Paracas! Abbiamo trovato JD Adventure tramite GetYourGuide, ma vi consigliamo caldamente di contattarli direttamente: sono assolutamente affidabili e così riuscirete anche a risparmiare qualcosa! Jose è davvero in gamba: si può parlare direttamente con lui via WhatsApp, e questo rende l’organizzazione rapida, semplice e precisa, con informazioni sempre aggiornate in tempo reale. Con loro abbiamo fatto: • il volo sulle linee di Nasca, emozionante e ben organizzato, • la gita alle Isole Ballestas, proprio di fronte a Paracas, • e la visita al Parco Nazionale, che ci ha lasciato senza parole per la bellezza del paesaggio. La nostra guida Olenka è stata eccezionale: parlava un inglese perfetto e ci ha dato tantissime informazioni interessanti sia sul territorio che sulla cultura peruviana. Lo sapevate, ad esempio, che in Perù gli asparagi, i carciofi e le acciughe non piacciono quasi a nessuno e sono prodotti quasi esclusivamente per l’esportazione? Un’esperienza cool, facile e indimenticabile, che consigliamo a chiunque voglia vivere Paracas e dintorni in modo autentico e ben organizzato. Fabrizio Ghirardi2025-08-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience with them, did the Ballestas and Paracas Reserva Nacional tour. The guide was great, super friendly, with perfect English and very professional. Max Hödl2025-07-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very very nice Guide, helped us immediatly when there was a problem during our Tour. I would totally recommend Adventure Travels to everyone who visits Paracas. A huge THANK YOU to the owner of the business, you saved our day!!! Marit Simonetti2025-07-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Sabrina C2025-08-17Verified Unmissable experience! A truly exciting and unforgettable experience, absolutely recommended! The explanations on the Nazca lines and their arrangement were clear and interesting. In addition, the pilot conducted the flight with great delicacy, allowing everyone to enjoy the show without any discomfort. Ainhoa D2025-07-23Verified Magique We had an amazing day.First, the tour of the islands was spectacular: sea lions, penguins, pelicans, whales... wonderful...Juan was a great guide, super passionate and with many interesting things to tell.The visit to the national park was also magical. In a smaller group, Olenka took us through landscapes that looked like they were from another planet, took the time to explain the history and particularities, show us the best points and let us enjoy ourselves without hurry, taking photos and admiring everything.We couldn't have asked for more! Daniele C2025-07-04Verified Penguin sighting beautiful speedboat excursion. beautiful views, many birds and penguins. definitely a recommended trip (especially when there is good weather) Michelle C2025-06-20Verified Fantastic Tour Provider JD Travel did an amazing job coordinating this Nazca flight/transfers. Jose went above and beyond to make sure we could participate in this activity. It did not disappoint! The flight time was moved by the airline and Jose made every effort to help us with this change. I could not recommend this activity or JD Travel more. Jose is the best! gabrielBZ2025-03-24Verified Precise islands full of pelagic birds and some, unique. Beautiful and essential visit to the Ballestas Islands, you sail 1/2 hour in a speedboat. First you visit the coastal area and see the spectacular “Candelabra” figure made on the ground of the pre-Inca era. Then you're headed to the islands. My interest was to see birds. And my interest was filled. I wanted to see the spectacular Inca terns. The boat handling is fabulous. You are in the Pacific and you have to know how to drive very well because they come very close to the islands. The seascape or rock formations are also unique and spectacular. It's a lovely ride. And absolutely recommended. Yris yaneth M2025-03-10Verified Nice experiences We were given a tour of the skies through the Nazca Lines this is a very important site of interest in Peru is company IZI organizes very well transfers to the airport and flights to see them independently this is a challenge that thrills the view from above the sky enjoying its beautiful landscapes the condor, hands, spider and tree among othersHERBERT SOLORZANO Linda B2025-01-04Verified Don’t miss this! Trip was fantastic and we had logistics issues on our end and they found a way to make the trip happen despite that! Wonderful customer service and the natural beauty of the islands was stunning!
