What are people saying about Lima

Gerrod_L, May 2026

Beyond impressed!

This is a great experience. Our tour guide Marjorie (she prefers Mar for short) and driver Jorge/George were the best. Marjorie communicated everything in both the local language Spanish and in English. Everything is well planned and organized. Mar was consistently energetic, friendly, communicative, helpful, patient, and informative so tourists didn’t get scammed. When we were approaching stops, she told us what was recommended to purchase if we didn’t already have it and what average prices for those items would be so we didn’t get scammed. She also gave us recommendations on food and took pictures and videos of the group. She shared them with us during the tour so and we didn’t have to wait for them. I’m beyond impressed. I have never had an experience this good before. To say that my expectations were met is an understatement. If anything Peru Hop takes “under-promise and over-deliver” to the next level. Kudos to Mar and George!!!

Full Day Tour From Lima: Paracas and Huacachina Oasis

Matt_M, May 2026

Huacachina!!

Started on a long bus tour with an amazing host, Juancho. He was very informative, helpful, and on top of people being on time for meet ups. We unfortunately did not do the boat tour, due to sea sickness, but were aloud to walk around Paracus. Paracus was cute little town to walk around. We then went to a beautiful vineyard and drank some pisco, delicious. After we finally got to go to Huacachina and let me tell you…that was one of the best experiences in my life. We got to see the oasis, ride in dune buggies, and sandboard. It was so much fun and had a beautiful sunset. One thing I will add is there are other stuff you will have to pay for on the trip, so just be prepared. It’s not much, but be ready.

Paracas and Huacachina Exclusive Sunset Picnic Tour

Mariana_F, May 2026

Unforgettable Experience in Peru — Thank You Yoced!

Our experience was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Everything was organized perfectly and thoughtfully down to every detail — from the pickup to the drop-off. Both activities were unforgettable, but the dunes, buggy ride, and picnic truly became core memories for us. The views, adrenaline, and atmosphere were something special. A huge thank you to our guide, Yoced, who made the entire experience even better. He was incredibly organized, attentive, and always making sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time. One thing that really stood out was how he took the time to film each of us while sandboarding so we could fully enjoy the moment and still have memories to take home. It’s small gestures like that that make a huge difference. Because of people like Yoced, Peru truly has a heart. We will never forget this experience.

Lima Ultimate Peruvian Food Tour

Jorg_B, May 2026

Delicious Journey Through Peruvian Cuisine

I had a great experience on this Peruvian food tour with our wonderful guide, Valeria Adela Novoa Castro. The tour began at the operator’s office with an engaging presentation on key ingredients of the Peruvian kitchen, plus a tasting of chocolates made from cacao grown at different altitudes. From there we moved from restaurant to restaurant on a perfectly organized schedule—every stop was expecting us. Hygiene standards were excellent, and since we visited proper restaurants rather than street stalls, I felt completely comfortable enjoying dishes like ceviche, where freshness is essential. Everything we tasted was delicious. We also got to watch preparation demonstrations, including lomo saltado, which was especially impressive. This tour is on the pricier side, but given the quality, variety, and professionalism, it’s worth it. I ended the evening very full and very happy.

Peruvian Cooking Class, Local Market Tour & Exotic Fruit Tasting

Ayumi_N, May 2026

This was much more than...

This was much more than just a cooking class. I had a wonderful experience walking through the local market, learning about local ingredients, and tasting a variety of fruits I had never tried before. The cooking session itself was fun and easy to follow. Everyone was friendly and welcoming, and the whole experience felt very authentic. Highly recommended.

Visit the Sea Lions in Palomino Islands, in Lima Peru

Robert_M, May 2026

Super experience, well run, fun, friendly

Really well done! The whole thing is very organized and professional and fun. Our guides spoke perfect English (if that matters to you) and had all kinds of information about the wildlife we saw along the way. The check in spot is on a residential street, so look for the house street number rather than any commercial sign. There were young children on our boat and they were looked after with care. It was the best part of my visit in Lima. And we stayed for a very nice lunch just down the boardwalk along the oceanfront. Highly recommend.

Lima Gourmet Food Tour: Evening Experience

Amanda_E, Apr 2026

One of the best food tours we have done

Would highly recommend this tour, the food was fabulous and Arthur was an excellent guide. We learnt so much about the food and culture of Peru, in particular Lima. Ending the tour with a short walk around the artistic area was a perfect way to end the evening. We were a group of 11 which was the perfect size to get to know everyone over good food and drink. Arthur made sure that food and drink requirements were met at each restaurant without any fuss.

Lima city in a nutshell!

Must do trip while in Lima. Cesar (our tour guide) is amazing!!!! He’s knowledgeable, friendly and made sure we were comfortable the whole tour. Snacks and lunch are included. I’m definitely coming back to Lima to keep exploring, after this tour I’ve got a broader idea of places to go, food to eat, locations to shop, etc. Thank you, Cesar!

2 Day Tour from Lima: Nazca Lines Flight, Paracas, and Huacachina

JeanCarlo_D, Apr 2026

Best tour ever

Liz was an amazing tour guide and Thomas was a great driver. Liz was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole experience feel smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. She explained everything really well, kept the group engaged, and made sure we were comfortable throughout the tour. Thomas was professional, safe, and reliable on the road, which made a long trip feel much easier and more relaxing. Together they made this experience memorable, well-organized, and stress-free. I would definitely recommend this tour, especially with Liz as the guide and Thomas as the driver.

Paracas & Huacachina Day Trip from Lima with Sunset Experience

Berlin_B, Mar 2026

Exceptional

This was truly a great experience worth every dollar. Seeing the sea lions was a nice touch. What really made this trip the experience was writing the doom buggies, and the desert and boarding down the hill. To top it off we ended the trip with the beautiful sunset in the middle of the desert

We took a 3-days,...

We took a 3-days, 2-nights to Paracas, Isla Ballestas, Huacachina and Nasca lines from Lima. The trip was very well organized, our guides were knowledgeable and very professional. At Isla Ballestas we were able to see two different type of whales, Humboldt penguins and sea lions. The buggy ride and sand boarding were so much fun! The Nasca lines are impressive!
