Aliza was very friendly and arranged two tours for us. She even spoke a few words in Dutch, which is always fun and appreciated. We did a sand buggy / sand boarding tour in the desert of Huancachina, and it was awesome! So much fun in a 2 hour tour, great! The next day we went on a Wine & Pisco tour. We visited 2 wineries, where we got an interesting tour on the process of wine & pisco making. After both there was a tasting, so we got our fair share of alcohol before lunch. Transportation to the wineries was arranged by a private taxi, which was nice.

We will leave the traditional way of visiting sculptures, old houses, city, to live an experience in nature. We will have a day full of landscapes, ecosystem, marine fauna and adrenaline that are not lived in other places of the capital. It will be very important to relax and forget about the classic to enter a panorama of full fun. The best thing is that your camera will be filled with funny photos and videos and we will interact with all the people who go with us, we will make new friends. You cannot miss the opportunity to know the south of Lima and visit the great Oasis of America and the great Ballestas Islands. This tour has it all!! - Enjoy the great marine view that Paracas offers - Forget everything by sliding on the sandboard boards - Try more than 15 types of Peruvian liquors - Dare to live this beautiful adventure

All was perfect. Nazca lines were from other world, I can't believe that the people of that time have been able to make tremendous drawings on the ground without having to see them from the sky, I was totally impressed. Thank you Andy for teaching us all this, we are very happy, we have known Nazca hahaha, a dream for a long time ...

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.

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.

We had the best guide ever Vladimir. If you want to visit the Moron Oasis/Tamboo Colorado and the national park.. you should book a privilege tour with Vladimir. He knows everything about Peru culture and he is very lovely. He makes all our excursions very special. Thank you. Also, Bryan who is booking tours is very accommodating. We book 3 times with him and had zero issue!!
