Check on trip advisor there are several posts about the tours and tour companies.

If you're adventurous and have two days, you could take an early bus down to Nazca, stay in a hotel, book an overflight there that night for the morning(my recollection is that the flights go in the mornings because later there is too much turbulence) and then take the bus back to Lima.

If you have a little Spanish, it's easy and relatively inexpensive to travel in Peru.

I didn't use a tour, just took Cruz del Sur bus to Nazca, booked my own hotel online , and took a taxi to the airport in the morning. Walked around to all the different desks and asked about the next available flight and cost. I think I was on a plane in about 30 minutes.

In Nazca there is a Casa Andina Classic that is mid-range, right in the center of town. You can book them online.

The main drag in Nazca is lined with travel agents that can also book you the overflight when you arrive in town. They will charge a bit more but should also include the transfers between town and airport. There are other things to see around the area if you are interested.
