We are far from perfect, but we guarantee to do everything to ensure you have an incredible time on your once-in-a-lifetime trip to Peru!
10 reasons why so many people choose Peru Hop as the best way to travel around Peru:
Unlike local buses, Peru Hop is more than just a bus ride from A to B. It’s more of an authentic experience beyond the typical tourist route where you’ll explore hidden gems (more below), interact with our local travel hosts and communities, and hear stories about life in Peru.
Add to that the flexibility offered through our hop-on, hop-off system and it’s a recipe for the perfect trip. Short on time? We have amazing day trips to enjoy what this country has to offer in 1-4 days! Don’t settle for just passing through and being a typical tourist, discover the real Peru with Peru Hop!
Our Travel Hosts are local Peruvians fluent in English, and past reviews say it all—our travelers love them! They’re not your typical guides rattling off dates and textbook facts; instead, they offer you a real insight into what life in Peru was—and is—truly like.
You’ll hear fascinating stories and fun facts, like how five of Peru’s last six presidents ended up in jail or that the minimum wage here is just $300 per month (don’t worry, we pay our team far more than that!).
More than guides, our Travel Hosts become your local friends, sharing insider tips, introducing you to authentic Peruvian food and drink, and helping you experience Peru at local prices.
They’re right there with you every step of the journey, sharing stories, lifting spirits on long transfers, and creating spontaneous moments that make your trip unforgettable. Get ready to explore Peru with a true local by your side!
With Peru Hop, you’ll explore hidden gems across Peru that most travelers miss—places either hard to reach alone or ignored by other travel companies. One exclusive stop is the Secret Slave Tunnels, a truly one-of-a-kind experience included in nearly all our trips.
Beneath an isolated 18th-century mansion lies a 17-kilometer maze of underground tunnels once used for slave transport in the 19th century. This Peru Hop exclusive reveals a darker side of Peruvian history while supporting the local community, many of whom are descendants of those once forced through these tunnels.
Peru Hop was founded by four friends—Will and Conor from Ireland, Pete from England, and Paolo from Peru—who have each called Lima home for over a decade. We’re not a massive corporation or a billion-dollar airline; we’re just four guys who, in 2013, set out to create a way for travelers to experience the real Peru in a safe, flexible, and authentic way.
After exploring Peru ourselves, we realized that most tourists miss out on the true heart of the country, its people, and its hidden gems. We’re passionate about sharing the Peru we love with you, helping travelers connect with local culture, and making it easy for everyone to have an unforgettable experience here.

A look online will show you that many companies in the travel industry treated their customers terribly during the pandemic. Agencies disappeared, tour companies ignored emails, and many companies also left their staff stranded.
We are very proud of how we handled this unprecedented situation, and we are sure that if you look online, or speak to anyone who was traveling with us at that time, they will tell you how much we helped them.
Things can sometimes go wrong when traveling, and that’s why it’s always important to ensure you go with a company that will be there to assist you if needed. We are extremely proud of our team and their incredible customer service levels which were portrayed during and after the pandemic.

Evite pagar un taxi hasta una arriesgada estación de buses e intentar coger el siguiente bus a tiempo. Luego pagar un taxi hasta su alojamiento y volver a hacerlo todo de nuevo al cabo de unos días. Le recogemos y le dejamos justo en la puerta. Sabías que: somos el único bus que va directo a Huacachina, todos los demás buses sólo llegan hasta el pueblo más cercano, Ica. Esto significaría pagar un taxi hasta una estación de bus en otra ciudad.
No hay un itinerario que se adapte a todos los viajeros, así que no hemos intentado hacer uno y en su lugar hemos creado pases flexibles que le permiten viajar a su propio ritmo. Cada pase tiene una validez de 1 año, lo que significa que puedes pasar el tiempo que quieras en cada parada. Sólo tienes que utilizar nuestra App y seleccionar cuándo quieres salir en el próximo bus, dónde quieres que te recojamos y mucho más. Sin restricción de itinerarios ¡Sin preocupaciones!
Únete a nuestra comunidad en Facebook y obtén consejos y recomendaciones de miles de viajeros, pasados, presentes y futuros. ¡Haz preguntas, recibe sugerencias de itinerarios, descubre quiénes estarán viajando pronto y mucho más!
