Lima's Ultimate Coastal Expedition: Ballestas & Paracas

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!

Jossy and Juan Carlos were lovely, professional, and thoughtful guides. Paracas, Ballesta Islands, and San Jose Hacienda were all very interesting landmarks. We saw penguins, sea lions, lots of birds, desert, slave tunnels and much more. Highly recommend!

Juan Carlos was a great guide! I’m impressed with how seamlessly he switched between Spanish and English. He took us on a tour of the secret slave tunnels and was knowledgeable and sensitive about the subject and the influence of Afro-Peruvian culture! I would request him as a guide the next time I book PeruHop!

Trip was great. The buggy ride and sand boarding is once in life time experience. The buffet they offered is optional but still we opted but it was not so great. I personally recommend avoid buffet. Apart from that franklien our tour guide organised everything and was very friendly.

We had 2 Guides, Luz for the Islands and Anita for all the ather Activities. We knew, it was going to be a long day. We enjoyed the Islands, the national park of Paracas and the Hacienda San Jose with the slsve tunnels. Very impressive. Anita was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed our time with her.

Our Peru Hop guide Moises from Lima to Arequipa was amazing. He was friendly, approachable and would go out of his way to help. He planned activities out of his own time, group dinners and breakfast, things he didn't have to do. I highly recommend Peru Hop, they are well organised and so helpful with planning activities. If you are doing the Lima to Arequipa trip and get Moises then you are going to have an amazing experience.
