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…”

“The Cusco by Night tour was an excellent beginning to our trip in Peru. Kenny showed us around the market and gave a tour of the Plaza de Armas, then we went up to the best roof top to view the city as it was coming alive at night, and tried our first Pisco Sour. The planetarium is small (and cold!) but Kenny and the planetarium crew are very passionate about the stars and it showed. Would highly recommend.”

The pace was great and the sunset viewpoint was beautiful:) The vendor for the music show was closed, and that was why we picked this specific walking tour so that was disappointing. Our guide recommended a local dance show for after the tour, which we attended and loved. The restaurant where we ended the tour with a pisco sour toast was very cute!”
