Driver was on time, didn't have to wait. Very friendly driver with comfortable vehicle. The trip up is quite fast. Drive home was long because of traffic. Driver was really good with driving safe and not taking too many risks with speeding and merging over lanes. The experience was great, money worth it.

Very convenient when going to Cebu Safari—less hassle overall. It was rainy during our visit, and we forgot to bring umbrellas. Kuya Harold was very kind and generously let us borrow his umbrella. We truly appreciated his help.

I never had issues with booking through klook. It was so smooth until arrive the terminal. Supercat business class was A OK. I was able to sleep. You can tell the seamless flow of Supercat coz my cup of drink on the table was still stable. There was also a charging port. Business class wasn't too crowded at that time even the below deck. Price is A OK too

We always book this service when going to Simala. Reliable car. Our driver Romeo is polite, drives safely and very easy to communicate with. We enjoyed the convenience of having a private car take us around Simala following our own schedule.

Highly recommended! ⭐ Sir Edmund is very professional and truly goes above and beyond. Although he was assigned as our driver, he also served as an excellent tour guide - sharing insights, helping us throughout the trip, and making sure we were comfortable at all times. Everyone at the tourist spots was incredibly friendly and accommodating. We genuinely enjoyed every activity! The photographers were also very dedicated—they really put effort into getting the best shots for us. Tip: Always bring extra cash for tipping to show appreciation for their great service. If you’re planning to visit, this experience is definitely worth it! 🌴✨
