My husband and I took both Peru Hop and Bolivia Hop . We found their services are superior. The tour guide on the bus is very helpful in providing information,booking tours and accommodations. We feel very safe and relaxed because we know we are in good hands all the time. The tour with them is very reliable and you know the Peru Hop bus will wait for you. When we got to La Paz, Rodney ordered a tax for us to take us to the hotel. It made us feel very safe in an unknown city. We had such a good time with them, Wendy, Aaron and Rodney , Thank you very much.pclementere
