Excellent guide. - Andrea was superb. When I signed up for Peru Hop I had no idea that the guides would be so helpful whenn we spent time off the bus. Andrea was amazing. Bus was late picking us up in Lima, but not Andrea's fault.

Good time - The extra stops the bus took so we could see more of Peru was a nice add-on that I was not expecting but was pleasantly surprised.

Excellent! - Peru Hop was amazing. It felt nice to not have to stress or worry about finding the bus stops or organizing things. They made it very easy for us to follow the set itinerary. The bus was very comfy, they offered us blankets. It was not over crowded like some of the other busses we took on our trip. On another note; I left my AirPods on the bus when I got off in Arequipa and with the help of the Peru Hop team they were able to get them to my next hotel/stay which I later retrieved.

Full South to Cusco. A must do! Excellent company and guide (Ana Alcantara) - We are a very selective couple when it comes to making the right choices when traveling. After exploring different options, we opted to travel with Peru Hop. we are very pleased with our choice. Peru Hop offers different routes and options. We selected the Full South, from Lima to Paracas, Huacachina, Nazca, Arequipa, Puno and Cusco. We booked our excursions through them and don’t regret it. They are well organized and pick you up in a timely manner. Their recommended hotels are great. We had a great time at the Wild Rover. Nevertheless, for a company to be as successful as they are, employees must be effective. Indeed, they play a crucial role in making a trip pleasant. We were blessed. From the beginning we had Ana Alcántara. She’s a young but knowledgeable, friendly, caring, and a hard- working guide. She always answered any questions we had and helped everyone needing help. We noticed that she worked day and night (we stayed on the bus 2 nights) and was always very happy. She made us feel like family. With her devotion, passion, personality and hard work, she should be promoted to a leader; she is truly one. She’s an empowered woman with all required skills and more so we think the company must acknowledge that and reward her accordingly. You don’t want to lose employees like her. The group departing from Lima was so good that some of us are staying in touch. Thank you, Ana for making sure our trip was a blast. There’s a bright future ahead of you Continue being such a successful guide and more importantly a beautiful person with a huge heart. God bless you.
