The Communication of all the meetingpoints and circumstances are Perfect. Everything worked out well. Even extra orders for people with allergies. The visit of the pisco vineyard was a bit on the lower side but the food there was good. Very friendly Guides.
Paul was amazing tour guide! Thank you
It was a great experience with very good time management and excellent activities scheduled within the tour. The best part was the charisma, joy, and attention of Luis, the best guide who accompanied us from the beginning to the end of this adventure. Highly recommended.

My Peru Hop experience has been beyond amazing, and if I’m ever in Peru again, I would definitely use Peru Hop again. The entire experience from booking to the end of our tour was incredible. All details about the experience, as well as a well laid out itinerary, were provided. Everything was easy to understand. Our pick up ran just about 10 minutes behind schedule but that wasn’t a problem for us. Everything ran smoothly and we stuck really close to the arrival and departure times provided on the itinerary. Moni (Monica), our guide, is extremely knowledgeable, kind, funny and helpful. It’s amazing that she is fluent in both Spanish and English, and she was easily able to provide information to all of us on the tour. She made sure everyone had all the information they needed throughout the entire tour, even providing recommendations for taxi drivers to take us to our Air bnb once we arrived in Paracas. Moni shared factual cultural information with us and it was wonderful getting to learn about Peru. On excursions, she offered to take pictures and videos for us, which was really helpful. It is so awesome that Peru Hop partners with different hotels to allow the tourists to store their luggage free of charge when they arrive at destinations for excursions. It is also incredibly helpful that we just booked the tour with Peru Hop and they took care of all the details so we didn’t have to worry about them. My family and I have traveled to various continents and the excursions that we did with/through Peru Hop were the best experiences we have EVER had. Seeing all the wildlife on the Ballestas Islands tour was a dream come true. Riding dune buggies in the vast dessert at the National Reserve in Paracas was such an unforgettable experience. The dune buggies and sunset in Huacachina were the highlight of our tour. We had such an adrenaline rush and our driver of the dune buggy was amazing. Isait was our driver for this tour and he did a spectacular job. He drove safely, followed all the traffic rules, and got us to every destination safely, and we are grateful. Moni is an incredibly amazing guide and my family is truly happy that she got to guide us on this wonderful tour. This was an experience we will never forget. THANK YOU, Moni, Isait, and Peru Hop!!!!- Alan, Chiku, Serenity, Storm
