Amazing tour of Bohol must see areas with a knowledgeable and friendly tour guide who will know how to make you feel comfortable and have a good time on Bohol island. It worth the trip and the experience to see the little tarsiers - chocolate hills - man made forest - Loboc river and so on. These places would have been hard to visit by ourselves. We highly recommend this day trip with this agency.

Katya (katchya) is an excellent guide, very knowledgeable, articulate, helpful and personable. The chocolate Hills were beautiful and the Tarsier (monkey) I got to see up and close and take some great photo shots. The food in the river cruise was very good and the views quite nice. Katya was an exceptional guide - full of knowledge and helped with carrying my stuff and taking photos etc. Thank you
