The stops are very scenic but tend to be crowded even with the regulations on the number of passes that are handed out each day. to access some of the sits you have to walk over submerged rocks that are very slippery. While it will be difficult to avoid all of the scrapes good water shoes will help to reduce them.

I was worried at first because I hadn't received any word from them for a few days after booking but apparently their office is closed on the weekends. The trip however turned out to be wonderful and well organized. Roy was very knowledgeable and informative as well as personable. He kept us on track and back to the port right on time. This tour really hits the highlights of Bohol I would definitely recommend them. I would also recommend bringing a wrap of some sort for the ferry ride because it does get quite cool in the cabin despite the heat outside:-)

I’ve been using Rio’s services for years and wouldn’t consider using any other driver. He will collect you from the airport and deliver you safely to your hotel. Rio has a happy and friendly disposition and can be relied upon to provide best prices and the most in-depth information. As a local, Rio is always happy to answer questions and while driving to your destination, provide cultural information with his amazing English. He’s a fantastic source for the best excursions at the best price.

Our trip started with a cancellation and then a no show which added to the journey time. Once out of Cebu City the roads are terrible so it was a very uncomfortable 2 hours. We arrived to chaos and frankly given how crowded you are on the boat as well in the water, it is simply not worth it. Too many people in the water vying for their video or picture. The Whale Sharks were delightful but only for a half hour. The waterfall was the same, crowded and uninspiring. The trip back took 5 hours as traffic was awful. I don't recommend this at all. I know people have to make money and they are all very nice but it simply isn't worth it.

I was travelling as a solo female and JB and his team put together a custom-made tour based on the places I wanted to see. From start to finish I was very well looked after, given additional experiences that I would not have thought of doing and felt very safe during the whole trip. The highlights for me were the caves tour and Rice Terraces/Waterfall walk in Sagada but the whole trip was amazing and I would recommend JB!

This is perfect for a day you wish to escape the sun or get out of the rain. There are numerous floors (3-4) that are quite spacious. The art starts with the really old and moves through to modern and and sculpture. Some of the earlier stuff I'd never heard of the artists, not did I particularly like their work. However you still learn about the history of the Filipinos which is the point. Not a great place to visit for high energy kids as there isn't much to do aside from look quietly at pictures.
