Highly recommend for your next Mother and Daughter adventure! - My mom (64) and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience with Peruhop. Starting at our arrival at the Lima airport, we had prearranged the AirPort Express shuttle and the next day activated the pre-purchased SIM and did a free walking tour of the historic city. During the bus trip from Lima to Arequipa, Angel, our guide, was excellent! He made us feel welcome from Day 1 and provided endless support. We appreciate him for helping make our Peru experience unforgettable - he even convinced my mom to try sandboarding - he was right, she was very happy! All the recommended tours were excellent - we couldn’t believe we say dolphins on the ballestas island tour! 🥰🐬
Thank you for a wonderful experience - would recommend Peruhop to friends and family.

Above and Beyond - Our guide Franco and every other guide we had the pleasure of traveling with were the best. They were all extremely knowledgeable and made each experience more memorable for my wife and I. Franco especially went above and beyond, I sprained my ankle half way through the trip and he helped us throughout the rest of the tour arranging assistance along the way so we did not miss any experiences and made it to all of our accommodations. Could not say enough about the hospitality we received throughout the entire tour!

Peru hop made our trip super easy and fun. Franco is the best - Peru hop let us handle all the logistics for pretty much our entire trip within their app which is very helpful. Also our guide was named Franco and he seriously made the trip so fun. He makes everything a great time, even the long bus rides, and he is super funny and very helpful. Had a 10/10 time for sure

Great tour and experience - Anna our tour guide was fantastic, she organised and communicated everything in English perfectly.
The buses were nice and always on time. The trips that you book through Peru hop are amazing and definitely worth doing.
I wish they did this type of tour in all the other countries because it makes traveling and seeing everything so easy. Would 100% recommend the tour and Anna, thanks for a great trip 😊

Peru Hop for the win - Arequipa to Lima in 3 days - We had an awesome 3 day trip with Peru Hop! We started in Arequipa and made our way up to Lima, stopping for overnights in Huacachina and Paracas and trying lots of touring options. Huacachina is a quaint and serene little oasis scene, with cool restobars and hostel setups, plus the dune buggy / sand boarding and pisco vineyard visit were cool experiences. In Paracas the sunrise kayaking was a must. Our tour guide Angel was absolutely amazing, he gave us good tips for restaurants and was super helpful throughout the entire tour providing lots of information about the schedule and helping coordinate any changes to accommodations. Gold star for Peru Hop.

Cusco to Lima - I took Peru hop from Cusco to Lima choosing to stay in Huacachina, and Paracas on the way. If you do this route definitely stop in Arequipa, the 26 hour bus from Cusco straight through was a bit much. The included stops were all interesting and brief enough. The huacachina buggys is a must do and the Paracas boat tour was great we saw sea lions and penguins. Paolo was our guide for my whole trip and he was fantastic. He was friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and fun. The busses were fairly comfortable but they could do a better job collecting garbage.

The best way to travel in Peru and Bolivia - One of the best ways to see Peru and Bolivia. Absolute head ache free. These guys are so well organized that you don’t have to think about anything. I love the pick up and drop off service. The guides are really good and super helpful. Always in a good mood and having an ear for you even if they are busy. The busses are in top condition and the driver are carful and safe dravers. Wouldn’t go with anyone elase. Thanks for creating this service. 🤜

Good itinerary but la k of customer support - The itinerary is good, the guide is good & helpful.
But the bus cleanliness has to improve. Sounds no one clean the bus as we found a lot of food left over on our bus, and the bus toilet on our first journey was smelly. Ot doesn’t make us feel good.
Another issue we encountered was the hotel arrangement, we paid for the hotel and get the confirmation in the app. Finally, found out our room was not confirmed and we have to arrange by ourselves. Lucky we found out prior to arrival and have time to make the final arrangement.
The whatsapp hotline is horrible as no one replying at all.
Thanks to the instagram administrator, helpful and swift response that make me feel better and being helped.
行程豐富，導遊非常熱心及熱情。
可惜巴士的清潔程度需要改善，顧客服務熱線完全沒有人回覆，幸好IG反應迅速，給予我信心。
