What an amazing... - What an amazing experience. I'm not sure which I like most about that tour. The buffet/ River boat cruise was amazing. On the river cruise the food was amazing and the scenery was breathtaking ,Seeing the small primates were really cool. The chocolate mountains were inspirational a bit gimmicky. But still worth the visit I wish I could spend more time with the primates. At the beginning of the tour you spend about 10 or 15 minutes of this old church. Even if you're not religious, it's really pretty with the artwork. I've never been to the Bohol before and thanks to this trip, I'm definitely going to come back. I might even book this tour with a special someone.

Great trip to see Bohol!! - It's a very long day first of all. The ferry ride from Cebu was 2 hours each way. The there were a few 20 min to 1.5 hour van rides. The countryside of Bohol was beautiful and the island is much cleaner than other areas we have visited in the Philippines.
Our tour guide, Ronald, was awesome. He spoke perfect English and was very informative and funny. He has a great sense of humor and lots of information regarding Bohol.
This trip is definitely worth the trip and expense if you want a general overview of Bohol. Also the river trip was really fun, had a great entertainer singing, and the food was terrific!!

Efficient way to see... - Efficient way to see Bohol's major sights, but it felt rushed at times. The Tarsier sanctuary was a unique experience although we were ushered through with little time to really enjoy the sightings. The lunch cruise was a pleasant surprise as I didn't read about it ahead of time. Chocolate hills were beautiful, but the stop there was odd - 45 minutes was too much time to climb the stairs to the viewing platform and take photos but not enough time to comfortably do the nearby ATV experience (although some people still did it).

It was ok - It was a pretty good tour. The drivers and tour operator were really happy and genuinely cared about us. 10 stars for them. I felt it was rushed a little bit because of schedule and the distance we had to drive. But I would have liked it more if we weren't. Food and entertainment was amazing. My mistake but I thought that we would tour around Cebu before we go to Bohol but I jumped to that conclusion because I have never been here before. I read the reviews when I got home, I suggest you read them first .Now bad to worst. Poor communication. When we arrived in Bohol we were to meet up with our tour guide and she would have a sign with the tour name or our names. There is a lot of people at the pier as well as people trying to aggressively sell tours. I went through a few people with signs before I found her. She had a piece of paper in her hand and our names were on her phone. No who, where to find her or what she looks like. Take a simple picture or make a sign to hold up far enough to see. Then when we arrived after ferrying beach to Cebu we had to find our driver. No communication on where he will be, who he is or how to find him. You gave great instructions for pick up at hotel. License plate,name of driver, but nothing about the guy picking us up at the pier. My tour mates found him so I followed her otherwise I may not have found him. There was 11 people in our tour van and 7 came back in the van.
I can't recommend this at all.

Ghosted me the day of the tour and then wouldn't give me a refund - They gave me a pickup time the day before and then completely disappeared the day of the tour. I waited outside the main entrance of my hotel for 90 minutes trying to get ahold of someone to see where the driver was. No one from the tour agency has reached out to me since this happened so I tried to get a refund through the app. The customer service forwarded me a picture that the driver sent of the back door of my hotel and said I wouldn't be getting a refund since the driver had come by. I don't know how I'm supposed to know to go to the back door if neither the driver or tour operator will communicate this. Don't use this company. At worst they're scamming you, and at best they're not making an effort.
