This was a fun tour. We had two different drivers—Sir Alvin in Cebu & Sir PJ in Bohol— both were excellent & very accommodating to our requests.
Sir Alvin was friendly and very thoughtful—he even checked in on us after the tour to ask how our day went, which we really appreciated.
Sir PJ, our driver in Bohol, was also very engaging. He didn’t just drive us around—he shared interesting historical insights about the places we visited, which made the experience more meaningful. He’s also great at taking tourist photos, which was a nice bonus!
PROS:
Seamless transfers from our Cebu hotel to the port, then to Bohol, and back. The travel agency was easy to communicate with and provided all driver deets a day before the trip. We got tourist seats.
CONS:
The ferry travel takes about 2 hours each way (around 4 hours total), which can eat into your tour time. If there are ferry delays—as we experienced—the itinerary may feel a bit rushed.

Our driver and tour guide Ray were outstanding! They were punctual, professional, and very friendly throughout the trip. The driving was safe and comfortable, and the guide was knowledgeable, sharing interesting facts and making every stop enjoyable. They were also patient, helpful, and always willing to answer our questions. Their excellent service made our trip smooth, memorable, and stress-free. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great travel experience.

We had a great time on this tour! Our driver, Sir/Kuya Otoy, was excellent—very easy to communicate with and incredibly accommodating.
We were a group of five with two seniors, so I requested a lighter itinerary to make the trip more comfortable. Instead of following the full original schedule, we just opted for the following : visited Simala, bought pasalubong in Carcar, had lunch at House of Lechon, then continued to Sirao, Temple of Leah, and TOPS. He was very flexible and supportive of our adjustments.
He’s also a skilled driver—we had a smooth ride throughout (no one felt dizzy), and he navigated the routes really well.
The travel agency was also responsive and easy to coordinate with. They provided all the necessary details a day before the trip, which made everything seamless.

This tour brings you to the touristy spots in the heart of Cebu namely Magellan’s cross, Basilica de Sto. Nino, National Museum of the Philippines in Cebu, Fort San Pedro, among others. For me, the highlight is the Cebu Museum and Fort San Pedro. In Cebu museum, there is the replica of the Murillo-Velarde Map (oldest map depicting WPS). Fort San Pedro became a highlight because we had a a Tourism student who gave us a tour and explained about the significance of the place. If you happen to see them, don’t hesitate to avail. Tour is free but you can give gratuity. We would appreciate it better if the driver also doubled as a tour guide so that the trip would be more informative. Also suggest that the tour is more flexible.

What to know before visiting Cebu City
Quick snapshot of Cebu City and what draws visitors
Cebu City is a lively island gateway where zoos & aquariums, tours and outdoor activities lead bookings, with museums and attraction passes also popular. Demand peaks in August and falls to its lowest in March, giving the city a rhythm of busy late-summer months and quieter pockets across the spring.
Best times to visit based on crowds and prices
Klook booking data shows August as the busiest month and March as the quietest. Prices on Klook tend to rise into November and then drop toward December — according to Klook data November is typically the priciest month while December is usually the cheapest. If you want smaller crowds and generally lower on-site demand, consider March or the quieter spring months; for peak-season atmosphere, aim for August. Note that prices peak later than the busiest month, so demand and price don’t line up perfectly: August is busiest while November is often pricier.
Tips for travellers
Most experiences in Cebu City can be booked very close to travel: Klook data shows travellers typically book about a day in advance, with last-minute bookings possible. That makes spontaneous plans easy, but if you’re travelling in the busiest month (August) consider booking a few days earlier to secure popular tours and outdoor activities. Use Klook to compare available times and options so you can lock in activities quickly and confidently.
