Our trip with Sam was simply great! He is an excellent guide with a lot of knowledge about the country and its people and provided just the right amount of information - exciting and informative without being too overwhelming. His English is excellent (he is American), and he answered all of our questions patiently and understandably. The tour was well organized, the group size was pleasant and there were even additional options for those who were interested. It is particularly worth mentioning that Sam was very helpful and flexible in responding to individual requests. The time management was perfect - enough time to enjoy everything without long waiting times. The food was also very good and absolutely tolerable for European stomachs. The driver of the tour also did a great job. Overall, an all-round successful experience - highly recommended!

Had a brilliant time today on the countryside tour! Our guide, David, was incredibly informative and gave us plenty of facts about the island and our stops along the way. Cant even pick a highlight! We paid extra for a 30 min atv tour for 800p per/pax, which I would recommend doing, it was very fun we got some great pictures, and those who didn’t were waiting around for a while for us. Overall a jam-packed and fun day out, thank you very much!

Great excursion with a great guide! He explains a lot of things and his WhatsApp catalog is very complete. I don't remember the guide's first name but thank you again for this great, very complete and enriching day! 👌🏽👌🏽

It was not Lila but was closer to the newly built Dagbilaran, so the waiting time was short and we were able to see lots of whale sharks up close, making it a fun experience in Thailand.

Great trip with amazing tour guide to wonderful sights around Bohol!
