Public buses:
You will go to a bus terminal and get on a bus with locals going to work. If you who want to soak up the culture or get to know other people this is NOT for you! Locals tend to sleep for the journey and you miss out on finding the hidden gems along the way.
Peru Hop bus:
You will be picked up at your hotel or Airbnb, make some quick (1hr) stops at hidden gems along the way (such as Secret Slave Tunnels in Chincha), have an onboard Peruvian guide telling you funny and crazy stories about Peru, and meet other travelers from all around the world!
Peru Hop boasts over 20,000 reviews online and has the best safety record of all bus companies in Peru. It was created by two Irish travelers who moved to Peru in 2013 for love, and realized travelers missed out on so many things in Peru when they travelled on public buses.
2 Irish guys travelled around Peru in 2010 on public buses, then later moved to Peru in 2013 (chasing love!).
They realized that the real Peru was so much better than what they saw back in 2010 so they created Peru Hop with the help of some local Peruvians.
The concept of Peru Hop is to give travelers a much more local authentic experience of Peru, with hidden gem stops and onboard local Peruvians.
Created by Travelers for Travelers, Peru Hop is the #1 rated Bus Company in Peru and people have even married after meeting on the Peru Hop bus!
Public Buses are created for locals going to work, with a distinct lack of customer service for foreign travelers, no interaction amongst passengers, and no stops to see hidden gems along the way.
Read reviews online to see how many issues travelers have had on public buses, from delays, cancellations, terrible customer service and worse! That is why Peru Hop is consistently voted the #1 bus company in Peru!

All Peru Hop buses come with luxury semi-bed reclining seats, USB charge ports, professional drivers, GPS tracking safety system, aircon, Tv’s, Toilets on Board and more!
The Onboard local Peruvian Assistant will help you with any questions you have along the way, give you tips & advice, and share with you funny and crazy stories about life in Peru!
Hidden gem stops that most travelers do not know about, and that public buses cannot get to, will also give you a truly local experience.
You will also meet fellow like-minded travelers on the Peru Hop bus, unlike public buses where you will be surrounded by locals who just fall asleep on the way to work!
