Make this more precise
Our trip is cancelled without prior notice but we decided to reschedule the trip the day after our official schedule and the agency arranged it again. The tour is really worth it if you have limited time because it is very convenient setup since tourist spots are far from each stop so doing DIY trip would be hard to go around the siquijor.

good staff, very accomodating, however we would have loved our room to be cleaned daily or our trash to be picked up daily.

What to know before visiting Dumaguete
Dumaguete at a glance
Dumaguete is a relaxed coastal city known for boat tours, day trips and outdoor experiences, with Tours among the leading categories on Klook. Demand has a clear seasonal rhythm, with a sharp summer peak around June and much quieter months through the autumn.
Best times to visit and what to expect
Klook booking data shows a strong peak in June and the quietest month in October. Prices are broadly low for much of the year but jump in February and rise again around March; summer months around June show higher demand while prices in July–December remain at the lower end of the range. If you want smaller crowds and lower prices, aim for July through December; if you want the liveliest atmosphere and the busiest selection of activities, plan for June. Note that demand and price patterns diverge at times — demand spikes in June while the steepest price rise appears in February.
Tips for travellers from the Philippines
Most travellers from the Philippines book activities only a couple of days ahead, so Dumaguete suits spontaneous short trips and last-minute plans. If you’re travelling for peak-season events in June, consider booking up to about a week ahead to secure popular tours. Use Klook to lock in activities easily whether you’re planning last-minute or a few days out.
