          Wonderful trip
          MJ was excellent. She took care of us completely during our honeymoon trip to the Philippines. She booked all our transportation and tours and everything was super efficient and easy. Our experience there would have been a different story without her management and constant checking. Thank you for making it easy and wonderful. We’ll definitely recommend this agency to everyone traveling to the Philippines.

          Chocolate (macha colored in summer) hills delight
          A 2 hour ferry ride from Cebu to Bohol (thats 4 hours r/t in a day, that was the toughest part.) Upon arrival we were met with tourguide Jo Jo who was a walking encyclopedia of Bohol knowledge and customs. She was great at pointing out facts and little secrets which made the tour a more enjoyable. The sights we saw were beatiful and we saw quite a bit without feeling rushed or in a canned tour. The chocolate hills were a nice sight but my favorite was the Mahoghany forest. I would recommend this tour to anyone looking for a day trip as it was packed with wonderful sights and spread out in a non rushed, well planned day.

        Roy was an excellent, congenial, knowledgeable guide.
        The tour gave me the perfect opportunity to see historical sites in Cebu.
        Transportation was a big new handsome van with a good driver.
        I liked this as a private tour so I could go at my own pace.

        We did not get an email or phone call to confirm pickup ( as they said they would) so we waited an hour in the lobby before we were eventually found.
        The tour guide was spoke great english and she was very knowledgeable.
        I thought the tour was overpriced, maybe if they stopped for lunch and included this in the deal I would be more satisfied. Overall I seen Cubu’s great treasures.

        Great guide, very friendly and helpful. Very informative and was great to hear the history even thought it’s sad that the Philippines have been invaded a number of times.

        We had a great tour with Alex and Liz. Liz is very welcoming and very knowledgeable of all the sites that we went to. We highly recommend that you book. Liz also made sure we got a lot of great pictures at all the sites. So if you want to see the Cebu highlights then you should definitely go.

        Picked up on time by and air-conditioned van. Tour guide was amazing and could answer any question. Glad I booked tour as do try and visit each by taxi would have been too difficult. As some sites we were handed over to a specialized guide such as at Fort San Pedro. Guide took many great photos on our phones. Felt a little rushed and no time to buy souvenirs or have a lunch. A great experience.

        I started this tour in a very angry frame of mind because after several calls & texts to the number given to confirm pick up and not receiving anything, i went and booked a tour throught he hotel after waiting for over an hour in the hotel lobby, I will be even more angry if I have to pay for this as there was a cancellation fee! Then they turn up, I was really angry because the cost of this tour is way overpriced! Michelle our tour guide and Louis, our driver ( there was only my husband and I) were very nice. Michelle is an excellent guide, she knew about everything, even things not part of the tour and helped us take photographs, something we rarely do as a couple, its normally selfies! We visited the usual tourist spots and to be honest, I wouldn't have visited them if I hadn't gone on a tour because the sights are far apart from each other and Cebu is a city I wouldn't feel comfortable walking around in alone. Michelle and Louis are very knowledgeable and they saved this trip! Thank you guys.
        We visited Taoist Temple, Magellan's Cross, the Cathedral, The Fort, The National Monument and Yap Sandiago House, the oldest house in Cebu.
