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 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.

The day before, we received an email confirming the fuel surcharge and driver information. The driver arrived on time and proactively reminded us about the dress code for the church, which gave us time to go back to our room and change. This tour is suitable for history enthusiasts; the driver will provide a brief introduction to the attractions and help with photos! Splitting the cost among everyone made it quite a good value.

We availed the private tour, and Kuya Dansel was our driver, who also acted as a tour guide and photographer. He was very accommodating and full of energy. We also stopped at a souvenir shop. Overall, the city tour was good.

What to know before visiting Cebu City
Quick snapshot of Cebu City and what to do
Cebu City is a lively gateway where most Klook bookings fall into zoos & aquariums, tours and outdoor & sports activities, so expect a mix of wildlife encounters, guided excursions and active days out. Demand data shows visitor numbers swing through the year, with clear busy and quiet months that shape when attractions feel most lively.
Best months to visit and how prices move
Klook booking data shows September is the busiest month while March is the quietest, so peak-season atmosphere arrives in September and demand tapers off toward March. Prices on Klook drift only modestly across the year: activity prices are typically highest in November and tend to be lowest around March, with March about 24% cheaper than November in past bookings. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, target March and the surrounding quieter months; if you prefer the peak-season buzz, aim for September when activity is at its liveliest. Overall, demand and prices mostly move together around the extremes: busy September does not come with the very highest prices, while November shows the priciest past activity rates despite not being the busiest month.
Tips for travellers from the United States
Most experiences here can be booked at short notice — Klook’s typical booking pace is about a day in advance, with last-minute options available one day before. If you’re planning travel in the September peak, consider securing popular tours a few days earlier to lock in preferred times; otherwise, flexible, spontaneous booking on Klook works well for shorter trips.
