See Bohol’s Chocolate Hills, tarsiers, Baclayon Church, and Loboc River with lunch in this full-day countryside tour.
“Absolute Scammer Tour. 7/8 Tour stops waren angeblich Teil der Tour, angefahren sind wir nur 4, plus eine Kirche, die wir aber nur von außen betrachten konnten, weil sie schon zu hatte. Gebucht war eine Tour mit 12 Teilnehmern, die im Bus auch Platz gehabt hätten. Am Ende waren es 14 und wir (als letzte eingesammelt) mussten uns einen Sitz teilen. Auf die Frage ob wir wenigstens bei den Sitzen routieren können, hat unser Fahrer schnell englisch verlernt. Es gab keine Informationen wohin und wie lange wir fahren (zum ersten Stop waren es aber über zwei Stunden Fahrt). Dort wurde ein Teil der Gruppe zum Quadfahren abgesetzt, der Rest musste…”
Review El Nido Tour A with Big Lagoon, Shimizu Island, lunch, kayaking, costs, crowds, safety, and practical tips before you book.
“It so much worth to visit the natural beauty of El Nido islands. The guide were and boat crew were very nice and everything went as expected. The sequence of activities were even adjusted on sights to avoid cross in some areas and that really paid off. Water shoes and waterproof bad are a must. Snorkle not so much for this tour.”

Review of Bohol’s private day tour from Cebu, with Chocolate Hills, tarsiers, Loboc River buffet, ferry rides, and practical tips.
“Francis our driver and main guide was brilliant, his knowledge of the island, people and places made the trip exceptional. He even over came a flat Tyre in record time that had no impact to our trip. The ATV is a must as an option, and the guides on route took amazing pics .. Thank you Francis for a brilliant day !”

Cross from Cebu to Bohol for Chocolate Hills, tarsiers, Loboc River lunch, scenic stops, and a private driver-guide in one long day.
“Het vervoer naar de haven, de boottocht en heet vervoer op Bohol (en terug) was prima geregeld. Ji was een gezellige en goede gids/chauffeur en ik was blij dat hij me vergezelde bij de activiteiten. Ik heb me goed vermaakt en de omgeving is fantastisch. Persoonlijk had ik het leuker gevonden als dit een activiteit met een kleine groep was geweest, want als alleen reizende is het leuk om nieuwe mensen te ontmoeten. Ik had als extra activiteit de vlindertuin gedaan, maar die vond ik niet zo geslaagd. Naast de vlindertuin krijg je voor dezelfde entree ook veel slangen in een ruimte en veel dieren in erg kleine kooitjes. Ik…”
Review of Boracay’s 8-hour island hopping, buffet lunch, ATV ride, and hot kawa bath, with seasonal tips, costs, and practical advice.
“We arrived at 830-845 as directed for the 9am tour. We did not board until 920 as a couple who signed in had gone missing. At the first stop (Puka) we were told we had 30 mins to explore and back to the boat. 45 mins later the same couple arrived back. I expected the guide to explain to the couple that they had delayed the tour for everyone else twice now but this did not happen. Next we went for lunch, lunch was a tasty buffet. Approx. 1hr later we left for Crystal Cove. The guide was very unorganised about tickets for this and I feel it would be…”
Review El Nido Tour C, with Secret Beach, Matinloc Shrine, snorkeling, lunch, costs, practical tips, and honest value advice.
“All the sites we saw were beautiful, and I would highly recommend the tour C for anyone. The food provided is the issue. My partner and I have been in the Philippines for nearly 3 weeks, on multiple tours, eating out multiple times a day. This time was completely different. We were served 2 different types of meat, shrimp, rice, noodles, veggies and fruit. We didn’t eat any of the rice but had the rest. We got home around 5pm and by 9pm we were both having diarrhea and vomiting, nonstop. When I say nonstop, I mean every 5-10 minutes throughout the entire night. We would never want to blast…”
Review of Bohol’s 8-hour private tour with Chocolate Hills, 12km ATV ride, Loboc River buffet, tarsiers, and hotel transfers.
“Our driver, Kuya Tata was very friendly, patient, and had a comfortable car. He ensured that we had everything we needed for the day, including a change of clothes after the ATVs, and modest clothes for Baclayon Church. The ATVs were the highlight of the day, though everything we experienced was incredible. Make sure you bring lots of cash in small bills, as there are add-ons in lots of places and few take card payments.”
Explore Bohol’s Chocolate Hills, tarsiers, churches, and Loboc River by private car with buffet lunch and hotel pickup.
“You get to have a private driver for the whole day, and he/she brings you around to all the different sites to be seen. Our driver Rudy was super kind and available. The places we’ve seen are worth the visit, especially the chocolate hills, tarsiers sanctuary and the Loboc river cruise.”
Review Boracay island hopping with Puka Beach, Crystal Cove, buffet lunch, helmet walking, fees, meeting tips, and value advice.
“No one was there at the meeting point at 8:15 Guys around us told me the conductor is sick so we needed to move to bravo but it’s wrong info. Called several times and had to wait for her about 1 hour. After we got into the tour, the tour itself was amazing, especially helmet diving was super fantastic.”
