What are people saying about Lima

Rory_M, Aug 2026

Amazing experience and a great day

What an amazing day, so many experiences! Our guide Pablo was amazing, so friendly and kind natured even after a very long day working for him! Started off on a comfortable bus with reclining seats for our drive to Paracas, all aboard a boat and we saw a baby humpback whale jumping, dolphins, sea lions and lots of different birds, great experience, then to a lovely lunch, definitely enough choice available for everyone and then the pisco tasting (delicious!) back onto the air conditioned bus to huacachina and definitely didn’t expect to be so so amazed by this. Definitely upgrade to the dune buggy rides, there’s some reviews to say they are “not safe” but I definitely felt very safe, you are strapped in very well and have helmets secured on. This experience and seeing the dessert from the buggy rides was definitely a big highlight from our whole trip!! We had people from all ages in the group taking part too! Definitely an unforgettable day all around and would recommend it to everyone. Seems like a long day but completely worth every second!

Look no further

Honestly we were going to uber to the fountains and buy a ticket at the gate. So pleased we decided to to book the tour the pick up and dropoff was seamless and comfortable. The guide Leonardo supplied so much information that we would never have picked up. He knew the best places to view as well. Totally recommend this tour, bonus if you get Leonardo!!!

2 Day Tour from Lima: Paracas, Ballestas Island and Huacachina

Jonathan_F, Jul 2026

Incredible two day experience at great value

If you're in Peru and looking for awesome activities to do from Lima, look no further. The landscapes are gorgeous and absolutely worth it. You will get great photos and memories from this experience. Peru Hop makes the logistics of transportation simple and easy. Our guide, Monica went above and beyond to personally assist each traveler when they needed it. I almost got left behind at one point when the group was leaving and I was in the bathroom but Moni saved the day . Miguelito our driver was experienced and got us to each destination smoothly despite some of Peru's more challenging roads. If you're unsure about some details of the trip, Peru Hop responds clearly and is very helpful at providing additional information. They also use WhatsApp during the tour to send you information and contact you if needed, which makes things very convenient. Note that you also don't need to book the Golden Shadows Trek ahead of time or separately as Peru Hop will give you the option during this tour to include that at a small additional cost. This extra piece of the adventure is totally worth it. Keep in mind that it is an action packed two days so come ready with energy to spare. There is ample downtime available after arriving in Paracas and on the bus. Overall, would highly recommend this tour to make your Peru experience even more unforgettable.

What an incredible site and to be guided by Melanie and her enthusiasm was a dream 10/10

What an amazing site. Our guide Melanie was a dream. She kept us informed and entertained the whole tour. We really enjoyed visiting this site, especially because Melanie made it come to life with her stories and telling of history. Her passion for her country and its history shines through and it was a pleasure to be in her company for the half day tour. We highly recommend booking with Melanie 10/10. Thank you for a fabulous day.

We had a good experience...

We had a good experience visiting Paracas and Ballestas island from Lima. Our guide, Raul, was very informative and helpful. Just some suggestion for people who plan to take this tour to prepare raincoat and maybe anti-motion sickness medication for speedboat traveling.

Taste all Lima has to offer!

We had a great experience on this tour with Patricia! My husband has a dairy allergy and she made sure to accommodate it at every stop. We learned SO much and it was a wonderful way to experience the three top neighborhoods of Lima and ensure we got the full Peruvian cuisine experience. The tour was very well spread out so that you didn't get too full with all the stops and even included a lovely walk and stop at a local art gallery. Overall, I highly recommend this tour! It was a highlight of our time in Lima.

Lima: Palomino Islands Excursion & Swimming with Sea Lions with Hotel Transfers

Leslie_O, Apr 2026

Great experience!

This was a great excursion! I appreciated the pick up and drop off at my hotel, which made the logistics easy. I had read reviews that you wait around for awhile before heading out. I was dropped off about 45 minutes before we headed for the boat. I brought something to read, so I didn't mind the wait. Once on the boat, the guide gave us great information about the area. They were all about safety and did a wonderful job to make sure we had a great experience! If you're interested in getting an up close experience with wildlife, I'd highly recommend this excursion!

Miraflores, Barranco and San Isidro with Sandy!

Sandy was waiting for us in the lobby of our hotel room and greeted us warmly. She was very knowledgeable as we stopped at each of the parks and sights on our list. The driver, Gherson, was also excellent. I would recommend this guided tour to anyone who is traveling to Lima for the first time.

Important Must See

Give yourself lots of time to read, learn and explore this important museum and don't skip the incredible warehouse, or Erotic Museum. Exceptional opportunity and a must see for anyone who wants to learn about Peru from BC to modern times. There was no lineup and only about 14-20 people total in the whole exhibits on a Thursday afternoon in early March.

City Tour Panoramic Bus Departure From Larcomar

Natasha_M, Jan 2026

Great Way to Visit Lima

We enjoyed our tour to Lima, which included a one and a half hour walking tour of the historical center. Our tour guide was amazing and helped us navigate a very busy historical centre given it was a national holiday. There was so much more to see than I had imagined. Lima’s historic centre is quite grand with most of it accessible on a pedestrian path. It was New Year’s Day, and everyone was out celebrating. I think we would’ve been lost without a guide. The bus to and from the historic centre was comfortable, although some conflict arose about seat switching, which had nothing to do with the tour company, but some very arrogant tourists on board became extremely aggressive and antagonizing to all the Latino tourists on the bus. My children and I were quite shocked and everybody was very uncomfortable with their aggression. This is not reflection on the company. We were on the upper deck and the guides were on the main deck.

Barranco Bike Tour: From Pyramids to Bohemian Streets

Celez_S, Sep 2025

Unique city experience!

Diego was such a wonderful tour guide and we saw so much of Miraflores and Barranco. We didn't just see sights, but Diego took the time to explain the history and people of the things we visited. While I was solo I met one other person the tour, so it felt like such a personalized experience. Highly recommend for a great few hours in the city.
