Arrived by cruise ship with the Port some distance from the town. Our guide Olenka was their to meet us at the bottom of the gangway. Drive into town to join our speedboat. Thankfully the only one with a cover to keep off the sun. A stop was made to take pictures of the mysterious ‘El Candelabra’. Then cruised around the Ballestas Islands with plenty of time to take photos. Thousands of birds & sealions not too mention a few Humbolt Penguins. Olenka gave a good commentary the whole time. A magical experience. A short time to look around in Paracas before we boarded the coach (11 people in a 26 seater) & spent a couple of hours touring the National Reserve. Again Olenka was very good with her commentary. Recommended trip & good value compared with ship tours.

2 Day Nazca Lines and Ballestas Islands On this Nazca Lines and Ballestas Islands 2 days tour, we will travel to Paracas and Nazca towns. Paracas and its ballestas islands represent the diversity of marine life on this side of the Pacific Ocean. The Ballestas Islands are a group of rocky islands located off the Pacific coast of Peru at only 3 hours ride from Lima. Nicknamed "The Poor Man's Galapagos", the islands are fantastic place to observe wildlife as they are home to thousands of birds, mammals including penguins, sea lions, pelicans and dolphins. Finished our touring boat in the Ballestas islands, you will travel to Nazca a few hours away from Paracas. Nazca town is famously well known for its impressive and enigmatics drawn lines on the dessert. No one knows exactly what the Nazca lines were used for and are vast theories about it but still it remains a mystery which still open to wide range of interpretations even from aliens interventions on site.
Inclusions: Breakfast, All Transfers in/out to the bus station - hotel, Ballestas Island tour, 1 nigth accommodation at (3*** San Agustin Paracas or Similar standard)
Exclusions: Meals that are not stated otherwise, Airport taxes ($10 USD), Tips, Over flight on Nazca Lines

First off, the directions: their offices are on the 3rd floor of a cluster of office that can be reached by a door near the Inka Grill Restaurant. I arrived in Cusco not sure if I had time for Machu Pichu, and certainly with nothing booked in advance. Language was a bit of a barrier and I did not have a good feeling about the touts on Plaza de Armas offering tours. Instead I looked up reviews on Google and I'm so glad I was directed to Valencia. I showed up to the office and spoke with Rene, who was extremely friendly and honest. He basically told me their business is primarily inbound and focused on foreign partners and word of mouth - meaning they don't need to go out and get customers. As a result they focus on honest service at a modest markup. Anyway, given my time constraints, Valencia Tours got me set up for a Cusco-AquaCalientes-MachuPichu-Cusco trip for the very next day. On such short notice they got the tickets and clearances arranged. I paid slightly more than I was quoted elsewhere, but not much. And given how much more trustworthy they were, I felt completely at ease. The logistics for everything were laid out perfectly, there were no suprises and I knew exactly how much I spent and would have to spend for non included expenses. The 3 star hotel they included in AquasCalientes was above my expectation. Most importantly, I got the Macchu Pichu, had an amazing guide and weather, and made it back to Cusco in tile for my flight to Lima. Overall, a great experience. Recommend.

Visiting Lima is always a rewarding experience! We booked an early evening visit to the awesome "Huaca Pucllana" inca ruins, rather impressive with the scenic lights on. Right after the visit, reservations were made at "Huaca Pucllana Dining Experience", a restaurant by the acclaimed Chef Marilú Madueño! No need to say we got a table almost in front of the main pyramid! What a feeling! We had a fantastic dinner, with courteous and kind service, a nice wine and Chef Marilú Madueño outstanding cuisine - Italian flavors and Peruvian touches. We loved the experience! Bon Appétit!

A great day with lots to see and do. The boat ride to start the day where we went to the islands of Paracus and saw the seals and penguins was excellent. Lots of history to enjoy while taking a comfy boat ride. (BRING SUNSCREEN) Following this, we headed to Huacachina. We were overwhelmed by the size of the dunes, and had an awesome time riding down them and riding the wild buggies. Excellent photos and great memories. Highly recommend to all. (AGAIN- SUNSCREEN NEEDED). The guides were great and very prompt.

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.
