Where do I start? I’m a solo traveler who booked a ticket to Peru 4 days before the flight and I’ve never been to South America and nor can I speak Spanish which made me anxious. Peru Hop was the first company I contacted via email and they have been super helpful!! From all the communication, the arrangements, Peru hop made it so so easy!! It’s not like the hop on hop off buses in Europe, this is a tour full of experiences and I’m always skeptical for paying to travel around but this is well worth it. More importantly the guides were great in particular Ricardo!! This guy made me feel so welcomed, talked to me like we’ve know each other for ages. He answered all my questions, made enquirer for me, and looked after me. Alex have such good insight to the national reserve. I met wonderful people and had the best time of my life. I’m booking Peru Hop again for Cusco to lake titicaca. I don’t usually write reviews but I had to share how good they were.

The yellow Turibus was superb. Comfortable, punctual start, with knowledgeable tour guides and went through several landmarks. You go outside Larcomar shopping centre to catch it at 9:15 am or 2:30 pm and end back at the same place 4 hours later. The views were great and the 2 stops at Barranco and Plaza Mayor were worth it. We learned a lot about Peru while taking photos and enjoying ourselves. Good value for money. They’re working on turning it into a hop-on/off bus with more stops in future.

Very historic city with plenty of architecture to see. Main square is pleasant and a good place to just sit and watch the world- except for the constant, non stop barrage of people trying to sell you something. (There are plenty of other smaller plazas- with less people trying to sell you something.) I realise I come from a fortunate place but when the same person asks you multiple times over the course of a day it wears you down. I was asked 38 times in 45 minutes if I wanted a massage, wanted to buy a picture, wanted my shoes polished (dont wear leather shoes- they just dont stop asking) or wanted to buy a trinket/ day trip/ object of some type. They are warm and friendly people so be courteous at least- but it does annoy after a while. Be prepared. Remember, your a visitor in their country- its not up to them to speak your language. They work hard and do it tough- there is no way the average Peruvian could even contemplate a trip like your on. The architecture is so well restored its hard to see (or know) what is original- but it is very interesting. Make sure you get a tourist pass that lets you visit multiple sites in the region (100 soles)- otherwise you can pay up to 70 soles for a single site.
