Bacolod
One of the most common traits of the Filipino people is the friendliness and hospitality that they show amongst themselves and foreigners. This is quite evident in Bacolod, a bustling metropolis in the heart of the Philippines’ Negros Occidental province. You’ll be greeted by the amiable demeanors of its citizens, which is the reason why it’s referred to as the “City of Smiles.”
Spend a few days touring its bustling streets to visit celebrated landmarks like the San Sebastian Cathedral and the Pope John Paul II Tower, delight in the local cuisine especially the famous chicken inasal, surround yourself with art inside museums, and discover popular hangout spots at night!

PJ made the Ultimate Bacolod Tour via Klook truly unforgettable, setting the tone with his warmth, humor, and deep knowledge of the city. The entire experience exceeded every expectation, offering a seamless, well‑curated journey that beautifully showcased the charm of the City of Smiles. From the comfortable transportation to the thoughtfully organized itinerary, everything flowed effortlessly. Highlights like The Ruins and the vibrant local food stops were perfectly timed, giving plenty of space for photos, stories, and exploration without ever feeling rushed. The balance of culture, history, and fun made it ideal for first‑timers. Booking through Klook was smooth and convenient, and PJ’s exceptional guidance elevated the tour into something truly memorable.

We had a fantastic time on this tour! Kuya Eduard our tour guide was super knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure everyone had a great experience. Even though a few places were closed, he quickly came up with great alternatives and kept the tour fun and interesting. Everything was well-organized, and we learned a lot while also enjoying ourselves. Highly recommend!

We enjoyed our tour. The highlight for us was the one at Hofilena's, with one of the manor's sons personally guiding us through the house. Sir Winnie, our driver/tour guide, was amiable.

Everything went smooth. The ferry ride was late in both ways. Guide is good. The whole experience is fine except we find it a bit expensive

The driver and the other kuya who guided us were extremely accommodating and friendly. They brought us to Bacolod’s OG food spots, and everything we tried was delicious and worth it. This food tour is worth your money!
