Fantastic adventure in Paracas - We had an excellent initial trip with Peru Hop to Islas Ballestas. Then we went to the Paracas National Reserve with our hosts Naudy, Sol and Diana who explained very well the route, the precautions and the care that we should have according to the morphology that presented the terrain. It was a permanently informed, friendly and very entertaining active walk.

Great experience - We had a great time with Peru Hop. Always on time and had some great suggestions for things to do in the different cities. All of the guides were very nice and helpful. A special shout out to Bo who helped us postpone our booking to the balestas island the night before when one of us fell ill.

Convenient and run by great folks - I'm not normally a tour guy but peru hop really made getting from one point to another super easy, comfortable and convenient. And it's definitely flexible enough for a guy like me. More importantly, Franco is just the best. Not only is he packed with knowledge and kept the ride entertaining, but he's not putting on a show. He's genuinely a cool dude with a great sense of humor. Its definitely not a fake thing he's putting on for paying customers.
