Paolo is the best! - Paolo was an incredible tour guide! He was super informative and had the best energy. He made sure we were in the right place at the right time and was very organized. We also had some great drivers who got to where we needed to go safely. One downside was that the food partners weren’t that great but other than that the experience was amazing.

Awesome tour!! - Peru hop was amazing!! Really well organized, buses were very comfortable! A great way to see Peru if you like guidance on your trip! We only did 3 days but I wish we did more and took the bus all the way to Cusco!! our guide Franco was awesome - very knowledgeable, we learned a lot from him! He was also super friendly, really funny and you could tell that he wanted to make sure everyone was having a good time! Always inviting our group to have lunch/dinner with him and having optional activities in the evening if we wanted to hangout. It was a great way to get to know people in our group and as well and as Franco! I would recommend this tour 10/10 experience!

Safe and comfortable travel - I had a great time with Peru Hop on the full south to Lima tour. I felt very safe and well looked after the whole time. I have never managed to sleep on a bus or plane before now but the seats really are very comfortable on the overnight buses. I felt it was well organised and my family were happy that I was using this safe way to solo travel. We had a few guides who were all very friendly. Angel was with us for the most of the journey and he was very attentive and informative. He answered all our questions, was full of information and checked in on us regularly to make sure we were ok. He had recommendations for the local area and spent lots of time talking to us and explaining the history and culture. A great trip!!
