(Translated by Google) A very punctual and efficient company. The guides are very professional and efficient, especially the Nile guide. Excellent communication in Spanish and English, great tips, and very charismatic. Andrea, who was in training, was also very polite and friendly. I recommend them without reservation and would definitely take other tours with them. (Original) Empresa muito pontual e eficaz. Os guias são muito profissionais e eficientes, especialmente o Nilo.

Traveling through Peru was an unforgettable experience, and a huge part of that was having Neil as our guide. From the very beginning, Neil was incredibly knowledgeable, fun, and passionate about sharing the history, culture, and beauty of Peru. He made every stop interesting with fascinating stories and local insights that you simply wouldn't get traveling on your own. Whether we were exploring ancient ruins, hiking or riding a dune buggy through breathtaking landscapes, or experiencing local cuisine and drinks, Neil ensured everything ran smoothly and that everyone felt comfortable and included. What stood out most was his genuine care for our group. He was always accommodating, organized, and willing to answer questions or offer recommendations. His enthusiasm was contagious and made the entire trip even more enjoyable. If you're planning a trip to Peru, I highly recommend traveling with Peru Hop. They truly go above and beyond to create an amazing experience, and thanks to them this was a trip I'll remember for a lifetime!
