I love tours that are informative and concise, that don't overdo it.
That is exactly what Franco gifted us with.
I no longer call him "the guide". Franco is my friend.

The tour organized by the Peru Hop team was not only nice and interesting but also well-coordinated, thanks to our excellent tour guide Maverick. His expertise and enthusiasm added a layer of enjoyment to the trip. The route was well prepared, and highlights like the buggies in Huacachina and the Nazca lines were definite favorites. If you're looking for new emotions and journey filled with unforgettable experiences, I highly recommend selecting this trip.

We like Peru Hop. Unfortunately we did not get a Hotel confirmation for a booking over the Peru Hop App. Joss was very helpful. But after that I booked other hotels.
It would be amazing to have a shorter Stop in Nazca, just to do the flight. Now we need to stay one night here.
Maybe Joss could have explained in the Bus where the recommended hotels are, so that we do not need to search so long. Shorter food breaks would be good, so that we have more time in the city, we want to visit.
Everything else was perfect and we would book it again. Thank you, Joss, for all of your help. You did an amazing job.

Well organised, and very punctual pick up in Lima with great stops at Paracas National Reserve, Ballestas Islands, Huacachina and Nazca. Highly recommend the Golden Shadows Trek with Naudy that you need to book separately (this was my favourite part of the trip!), taking a boat to Ballestas Islands, and going sand buggying & bodyboarding in the sand dunes with Alberto. At Ballestas Islands we saw seals, penguins, Peruvian boobies, and dolphins! Nazca Lines are a bit further out, but impressive anyway. Make sure you don’t eat just before the flight as the plane tilts for you to see the lines and everyone felt a bit dizzy afterwards :) Lui made sure to tell us all about the lines beforehand. Friendly group of fellow travellers, and the Peru Hop crew incl. Felix and Jose were helpful as well, especially when answering to WhatsApp texts to inform about the meeting point and times for the next day. Bus was well airconditioned and had USB-C chargers.

Overall organisation was top notch. Peru Hop explained everything in detail, was available via Whatsapp for additional questions and gave good recommendations.
The (additional) activities (Golden Shadow Trek with Naudy, Sandboarding & Buggy with Felix/Jose/Alberto and Nazca Lines Tour with Lui) are highly recommended and provide good value for money. Would book the tour again!
