Reviews
I would 100% recommend Peru Hop! The company is so well organised, communicative and helpful. I travelled from Lima to Cusco, following their recommended itinerary. It was busy, but absolutely brilliant. There were so many things to see and do, and the whole itinerary ran so smoothly. Neil, Sergio and Lui, my tour guides, were so informative, fun and always happy to go the extra mile to help. They really made the trip such a great experience!
I am currently traveling from Lima to Parakas with Peru Hop. The company looks reliable, but the temperature is really cold in the busses around 19°. After request to change to normal temperature, the answer from the driver was that the temperature is a standard. Standard temperature for getting sick, for sure... The customer needs should be on first place. Special thanks to the guide, which provide us a blanket, but even with the blanket we are freezing and can not even have a sleep.
(Translated by Google) The two-day trip to the Oasis Desert was fantastic, and the sandboarding was thrilling and fun! However, the attractions were quite far apart, and both days started around 5 or 6 pm, so we didn't get back to Lima until very late on the second day.
