Excellent ---Kudos to Raul, our drivers & Peru Hop!!! - My husband & I are first-timers in Peru and we are enthralled & captivated! On top of the series of amazing places in Paracas & Huacachina & people we met, are our excellent guide RAUL & our drivers that made our experience to a different level! Raul is very knowledgeable & did an excellent job getting events organized, keeping everyone in the loop of clear & necessary informations about the next stop/tour verbally & thru Whatsapp. He's also very patient & accomodating to new people in our group & addressing our questions or concerns. He connects to his group, stays close by & knows our names. He makes sure everyone in the group is OK. Our group had a lot of fun during our golden shadow trek, we were all mesmerized with the Paracas peninsula, the sunset is beautiful!--it was all worth it (we almost didn't book this one, we're glad we did!) Our guide during the trek is Mickey, he's a lot of fun & very knowledgeable. Our driver in dune baggy who also instructed /assisted us in sand boarding in Huacachina is the best! ( We regret we only booked a short trip, we'll book a longer trip with Peru Hop when we come back with our kids :-) Angela took over a part of our group boarding bak to Lima at the end of the 2nd day-- Raul made sure everyone is boarded in the bus. We noted good coordination & support among guides which made us even more confident with Peru Hop. Kudos to Raul, our drivers & Angela for always going above & beyond of what they do! More power to Peru Hop! Peru Hop is a MUST if you want an organized, safe & reliable tour at reasonable price! --- just board the bus (they pick you up from your hotel/drop you off to your hotel), have an excellent guide & enjoy all tours with the group! Thank you soooooo much!!!!

Beautiful parks and beaches in Paracas - Peruhop was organized and on time and their app made everything easy. Lots of fun activities were included. The Ballestas Islands and Hacienda were highlights of the entire trip to Peru for me. Elmer was so knowledgeable about the history in Peru, and made everything fun and interesting. He was very caring and attentive and made sure to take care of everyone in our large group. And it was lovely meeting all the other travelers in my tour group and having dinner and adventures together!

3D Paracas & Huacachina - Juancho was an outstanding guide. He explained everything clearly and was very attentive to everyone. He even repeated all the instructions for me in Spanish without hesitation. The overall experience was incredible, thank you! If I could suggest one improvement, it would be the lunch stop options, as I felt the prices did not fully match the quality offered. Apart from that, everything was perfect.

Huacachina Day - This was by far one of my favorite experiences our tour guide Angela was very helpful along with patient. You can tell no man is left behind when you’re in her group and she made everyone feel included. Even gave us suggestions on experiences and advice on our ongoing trip. Definitely would recommend.

The best way to see coastal Peru! - Had an excellent time, the tour leaders are excellent and enthusiastic, and Marjorie in particular was one of the most engaging tour guides I've ever had. The Ballestas Islands are well worth the visit (lots of wildlife and sea lions), but the real highlight was sandboarding and dune buggy riding at Huacachina. An exhilarating ride in a beautiful environment!

Fun time exploring the sand and sea in Paracas and Huacachina - We had excellent tour guides (Roberto and Moises) that made the experience a lot of fun. The Ballestas Island tour and dune buggy safari were definitely highlights of the trip. Some of the tours were a little disorganized and we spent a bit of time waiting for activities, but aside from the minor hiccups we would highly recommend booking the trip!
