Hinagdanan Cave Tours

Our guide Jojo was friendly and such a hard worker. He was our driver and guide all in one. He was very informative throughout the trip. This tour definitely showcases the beauty of Bohol. The shell museum was so interesting and we were able to buy some beautiful pearls there. The cave was beautiful, wish we were able to swim in it. Our guide in the cave was a highlight since he made it so enjoyable. The floating restaurant was a good experience with many food to choose from. Getting off the floating restaurant, there are many booths to buy souvenirs from and people dancing tinikling. It was fun joining in the traditional dance. Small photo op at the tarsier sanctuary and man-made forest. Chocolate hills was the highlight of this trip. The view is amazing, especially if you walk up the steps. Souvenir shop at the end of the trip is great especially since they offer 10% off.

Review of Private Tour to Bohol Island's Chocolate Hills and Bee Farm with Lunch on a River Boat Cruise

Be ready for a long day, and make sure you're well prepared for the sun (and rain). It was a good tour over all, especially enjoyed the Loboc the cruise and the Chocolate hills view which I think are the highlights of this tour. Delicious buffet lunch on the cruise too. The driver/guide helped us take some good pictures for us but not so informative.

Review of 5-Day Relaxing Bohol Package at Bohol Beach Club with Airfare from Manila & Airport Transfers

We had a wonderful time in Bohol thanks to Guide to the Philippines! They were very quick to respond to enquirers before and during our trip. Everything was taken care of and we basically just had to show up. We highly recommend them if you want a painless and seamless vacation/travel experience to explore the Philippines. Thanks booking angels! Sa uulitin (until next time)
