Reviews
I booked a week before our tour and the agency confirmed. However, when I messaged them on the day of our tour, they were unaware of my booking and have no tour guide available. Fortunately, they have an available driver who worked overtime to accommodate us and our fee was well compensated. Thank you sir Cedric for driving us and showing us around Iloilo. Despite not being a DOT-accredited tour guide, he did his best to to share the brief history of each place we visited.
This tour was able to show Iloilo's heritage and charm. Highly recommended if you have seniors with you on the trip. Salamat gid to our tour guide Ms. Yvette for sharing Iloilo's stories and driver Kuya Tony for showing us around!
It was a fun learning experience to get to know Iloilo. Our tour guide, Jas gave us a wonderful time in spite of hectic schedule. He made sure we were comfortable and recommeded good food to taste. He communicated our interest and curated the tour accordingly.
Tour Guide was very knowledgeable about the province. Reminder not to book this on a Holy Week because most of the places listed here will be closed. Still, overall, it was a great experience
Very educational and interesting tour. Our guide was very professional and knowledgeable, and we had an amazing time despite the rainy weather on that day.
The guide was knowledgeable and kind. He was fun and engaging. He made sure that we are enjoying the tour.
Jas was as informative as he was entertaining. With his driver Mark, they gave us quite a comprehensive tour of significant spots within and around the city. I would've wanted to see the sinamay weavers in action, but Jas's spiels somehow made up for it. Lunch was simple yet delicious, and the tsokolate eh at the Bahay na Bato was delightful. In the Lopez house the caretaker took our photos. Much as we appreciate his effort, we did not care much for his inappropriate jokes. Less of that would be good. The fee was a bit steep. Maybe give seniors a discount? Overall, I would recommend this tour. Thank you Jas and Mark!
Ma'am Yvette and Sir Roger was a great team to have as guides - it was seamless and Ma'am Yvette's trivia and anecdotes were interesting. We were able to visit almost all stops. Thank you so much for the experience :)
My family and I have learned so much from this tour. It's a good private tour if you want to hit multiple places of interest within a day, perfect for those who are in Iloilo only for a short time. There's 500 pesos/pax lunch allowance. Our guide Yvette and driver Argie are very accommodating and flexible to changes in itinerary and our preferences. Highly recommended!
with the able explanation of our tour guide/official photographer, Ms. Ara, we have appreciated Iloilo more and its rich history. It was definitely worth it. Southwest Tours has been my go-to company when in the Visayas.
