Our family experienced a day trip to Villa Escudero this week and had a fantastic time. Our driver and guide picked us up at our residence in Manila and educated us on everything about the tour and fun Philippines facts throughout the drive. The driver was safe and smooth the entire way. We were greeted at the villa by two of the Escudero family and then proceeded by a water buffalo-drawn wagon to the truly unique waterfall lunch experience. The food buffet was excellent and we had fresh coconut drinks, fresh watermelon, and fresh mango on top of the main selections. Really, really filling and delicious. Our kids played in the resort-quality pools to cool off and we just explored a small chunk of the 800 hectares of property on the farm before being entertained by the cultural show in the shade of the big pavilion. This is one of the best family-friendly adventures you can experience within a couple hours of Manila. In fact, seeing the on-site cabins for overnight stay had us wishing we could have made a long weekend out of it (obviously, many people do). Even with a full day, there is so much more to explore on this beautiful property. Service: 5-stars Facilities: 5-stars Food: 5-stars Authenticity: 5-stars Overall: 5-stars Thanks for a truly great adventure!

Review of Bohol Island Hopping Private Tour to Balicasag & Virgin Islands with Dolphin Watching & Transfers

Unfortunately, we got bad weather and the coast guard almost cancelled this trip due to high winds. We were able to go to the virgin island and go snorkeling in Balicasag. Which was amazing. So many wildlife there and we even saw a sea turtle. We were also offered to go scuba diving while on the island but thankfully we didn't go for it as the weather was apparently getting worse to the point where the coast guard might have prevented us from heading back. Thankfully the crew that took us was keeping tabs on that to make sure that didn't happen.

Review of Bohol Private Countryside Tour with Loboc River Cruise Buffet & Transfers

The tour guide was very knowledgeable, he was able to tell us the history and fun facts of everything we saw. Plus he was able to take us to everything that was on the tour and a couple of other things we wanted to do while keeping a tight schedule. This was definitely a fun day, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to see most of what Bohol has to offer in a single day.
