Review of Peru Hop’s 2-day Lima tour to Ballestas Islands, Huacachina, and an Ica pisco vineyard, with costs, timing, tips, and drawbacks.
“I did the 2 days Paracas/Huacachina/Pisco tasting tour and I jave to say that I was really impressed by the boat excursion in Paracas (Ballestas Islands) and the dune buggey and sandboard excursion in Huacachina and the Pisco tasting. That being said, the logistic offered by PeruHop is not impressive at all. Every time there was a transfer, they asked us to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to departure time and the guide is not even there, we had to wait twice over an hour before getting in the bus.. under the sun. I took this tour so it would be hassle free and I would not have to…”

“My husband and I (and our world traveling dog!) had the BEST experience with Maria and her husband Jose Antonio who welcomed us and made us feel like fast friends. We booked their ceviche and Pisco sour cooking class. They have their own space with a kitchen space, full bar and a lovely seating area so you feel at home! We started with a nice little intro video to explain the different regions of Peru and their vast gastronomy. Afterwards we got to sample a few of their piscos which they make themselves in a small factory in Ica. They were delicious! After that we made a tuna tartare, followed…”
Review of the Nazca Lines flight from Pisco and Huacachina dunes tour from Lima, with costs, timing, tips, value, and booking advice.
“Went on this trip with my friend. Our tour guide and the driver were super sweet, it was a lot of driving, but super comfy car with a few stops, so still worth it. Def worth flying over the Nazca lines and seeing the sand dunes. So much fun driving in the buggy all over the dunes (it’s one big buggy driven by a guide, it is not a buggy for each). The only disappointment was to find out that the sand boarding is not actually a real sand boarding. We were disappointed because that was honestly the whole reason I booked exactly THIS trip. You go down the dunes,…”

Explore Lima’s Casa Aliaga, Museo Central, colonial streets, and a pisco sour in a small-group tour with local guides.
“We stumbled on the listing for this tour and since I love old houses, we thought it would be interesting to see. It ended up being so much more and we're so glad we saw it! Casa Aliaga seems to be skipped by most tourists and people are really missing out. Because the owners still live in parts of the house, only a few people at a time can visit, so we had the whole place to ourselves. The architecture and decor are absolutely stunning. Our tour guide Marco Polo (he told us to call him "MP") was extremely knowledgeable and patient with all our questions (we love history too!)…”
Make ceviche and Pisco Sours in a Lima garden kitchen with Chef Hector. See what the $250 class includes, costs, and who should book.
“Before the tour Hector was quick to respond to e-mails and helpful with directions to the cooking class. The class was located in a beautiful open space / garden with all utensils and ingredients fresh from the market. He showed us and explained all the steps allowing us we were a total of 6 people to follow the recipes and techniques. All in all the class was really fun, informative and we ended up sharing a nice meal with pisco sours, what more to ask! Thanks Hector and see you around the world!”
