Aymeth best guide ever - I don’t where to start about how Aymeth is. I was late too my pickup due to a luggage issue and she helped to go throught and ended by taking the bus! She’s really professional, amicable, enjoyable and she knows all the name of the group which this show she is! I would recommend 100% sure Aymeth for anyone for this day trip. Thank you again Aymeth!

Day trip from Lima to Paracas and Huacachina - Peru Hop were great from the start with the booking process. I was able to get in contact through Whatsapp with any queries that I had. Loads of information sent out prior to the trip and whilst on it too. When it came to the day itself, our tour guide Aymeth was brilliant. She kept things running smoothly and gave us recommendations as well as teaching us some Peruvian slang. I will be recommending Peru Hop to family and friends who are due to visit this country in the future for sure.

Words cannot describe how amazing it was, you just have to experience it on your own! - We have spent such a wonderful and entertaining say exploring beautiful Peru! Big part of whole experience was our funny and very knowledgeable guide Aymetha causa bonita! Starting from the beginning of booking trip whole communication and instructions were easy and clear. Bus was very comfy with reclining seats and a lot of space for legs. Boat trip to Ballestas Islands was smooth and relaxing, views were great with a lot of informations and funfacts. We were even able to see whale on our way back! Lunch was tasty with following degustation of pisco. Best part of whole trip was a bit more than 2h of exploring those massive dunes in Huacachina in a big buggy car. Going through this sand with big speeds was giving such an amazing adrenaline rush, very enjoyable ride!! Sandboarding from different sizes of dunes, lots of fun 🤩 Once again, ¡Muchas gracias Aymeth por hacer nuestro día tan memorable! 🫰🏽🫰🏽 We are rating it 100/10! Magdalena, Alex, Kamil

Wonderful experience - Today, we had the tour and were guided by Aymeth. We loved everything from the people who were with us on the tour, the beautiful landscapes we saw to the super friendly and respectful attention Aymeth had with us all. Throughout the trip we were informed about the activities we were about to carry out and their recommendations. Thank you and to highlight the attitude of the guide, that the minute we met we already knew all our names. Excellent tour, food, scenery and treatment provided. Hernan, from Argentina.

Best Way to Experience Paracas & Huacachina in One Day - Had an incredible time on the Full Day Tour to Paracas and Huacachina with Peru Hop! Our guide, Aymeth, was absolutely fantastic – she shared so much knowledge about Peru’s history and culture, kept the group engaged with her great sense of humour, and made the whole day run smoothly. The boat trip in Paracas, the thrilling sand buggy ride, and sandboarding in Huacachina were all unforgettable highlights. Such a well-organised and fun experience – highly recommend!

So much fun!! - We had such a wonderful experience on the Paracas–Huacachina excursion with Juancho. From start to finish, he was friendly, funny, and made the entire day so much fun. This was his final tour as a trainee, but he already carries himself like a seasoned guide—he definitely deserves to be made official. The boat ride in Paracas was beautiful and relaxing, and we even got to see penguins and sea lions up close. Later in Huacachina, the sandboarding was absolutely thrilling—it pushed you out of your comfort zone and added such an adrenaline rush. To top it all off, we ended the day with a breathtaking sunset over the desert. Juancho made everything even more enjoyable with his great energy and sense of humor. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide, and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for a memorable adventure.

Good tour just not quite as advertised all the activities were less time than promised - Was a good tour but a bit of a problem with advertising and times.. the pickup was a struggle, they kept trying to make me wait in the middle of the street at 5am when it’s clearly stated they pick up from hostels in Miraflores. The boat tour was 1h30min not 2h as they so proudly state. The 2h buggy ride was only 1h35min total. From which a total of 15min was driving and the rest of the time was spent spent taking photos of the dunes or waiting for others to go sandboarding (they make the whole bus go together so it’s about 30/40people each going one at a time so quite a bit of standing/sitting around. The sunset you see from hoacachina lake. What you see in the dunes is the sun dipping behind a dune and you are quickly rushed off the driver started driving I didn’t even have my seatbelt on, didn’t have time to fix my bandana properly and proceeded to get fully covered in sand only to realise the driver had another group of people waiting and that was the rush. Even with all the stops the total time since we got on the buggy till we got off was 1h35min.. again not the 2h promised. Shame to have to check the times and a disappointment after spending time and energy choosing this tour to be disappointed.
