Lima's Ultimate Coastal Expedition: Ballestas & Paracas

This is a very memorable tour since, with the guidance of Sergio, I was able to maximize the tours in this trip (since I only have a limited number of days for this trip). It was a fun filled tour. Thanks to Sergio, my trip from Arequipa to Lima became jam-packed. I’m so tired, but in the best way.

Luis was a really wonderful host and had a lot of knowledge about the secret slave tunnels! We had this included on our Peru hop journey and I’d definitely recommend it as you get to see more of Peru outside of the Machu Picchu and tourist parts.

It’s our 1st time, I found Peru Hop a well organized travelling company; coaches are clean and comfortable. Charger and free wifi on board are thoughtful. Drop off and pick up at our hotels makes life easy, we love that. To be that detail oriented in the travel industry is a big plus! Our guide Miguel is energetic, fun, attentive, knowledgeable and professional. He takes pride in his responsibilities and it shows. We look forward to our upcoming 20+ more days with Peru Hop. We are very happy that we are travelling across Peru with Peru Hop , and, our guide Miguel.

This has been a great start to our multi-stop Peru Hop tour of Peru and Bolivia. At this point we have travelled from Lima to Paracas to Huacachina to the Nasca lines and we are on an overnight bus to Arequipa. Pick ups and drop offs have worked well. We have done Ballista Isle tour, San Jose estate / slave tunnels, National reserve. Miguel, our tour guide is very upbeat, positive and patient. He has a helpful and reassuring manner. He loves to laugh and developed a great rapport with his passengers. He provides both verbal and written communications which are very helpful. The Peru Hop team has also been very responsive in answering my what’s app questions and providing me information that guide my travels. Thanks for a great start to our vacation.

Great experience with Anayeli to see the slave tunnels and then on to Lima! An informative stop made it much more than just transit to another place!

I wish that we could have seen more wildlife on the water. Franco Did an excellent job explaining and teaching regarding the national reserve and the slave tunnels, in both English and Spanish, and was very comical as well! He also offered several pieces of advice regarding travel and is very personable and is even willing to help us learn more about traveling to other places!

Peru Hop has been an excellently organised and invaluable way of travelling through and seeing some of the best of Peru. The guides have all been great, special mentions for Gloria, Miguel and Franco who were always available for questions, very knowledgble and the tips given made our trip even better.

Franco was an unreadable guide! The only excursions were worth doing those with him: Islands were strong disappointment-just few animals and despite all protective close totally wet-no one told us that. Pictures on advert showed many penguins and deadlines but in reality it was waste of time and quite uncomfortable. Lunch was awful-again advertised as gastronomical experience in reality no seafood in seafood dish.

We had a great time with our tourguide Franklin. The trip was so worth it and we would always do it again. We had enough time to enjoy each place and the bus trip was super comfortable.

Very interesting place, full of history. De tour was also very well put together. Thanks to Luis for the guidance. Highly recommend!
