Cecile_P
We are a couple from Manchester, UK, and we cannot recommend this full-day Bohol tour highly enough – it was genuinely one of the best organised and most enjoyable excursions we’ve ever done. From the moment Dave, our brilliant tour guide, met us with a big smile and a friendly “magandang umaga”, we knew we were in safe, expert hands. Dave was an absolute star. His knowledge of Bohol’s history, culture and nature is second to none, but what really made the day special was how he brought everything to life with warmth and humour. At the Chocolate Hills he explained the geology in such an engaging way that we actually understood it, then gave us plenty of time for photos without rushing us. At the tarsier sanctuary he made sure we saw the tarsiers responsibly and shared lovely stories about the conservation work there – we felt like we were learning with a friend rather than just ticking off a list. Our driver Paul was equally fantastic. The roads can be winding, yet he drove smoothly and safely all day, always pointing out little local gems along the way. The air-conditioned van was spotless and comfortable, and both Dave and Paul went out of their way to make sure we had water, snacks, and anything else we needed. The highlight for us was the Loboc river cruise lunch. The food was fresh, plentiful and absolutely delicious (the lechon was a treat!), and gliding along the Loboc River with the jungle on either side felt like pure magic. Dave joined us on the boat and the relaxed chat made it feel even more special. Everything ran like clockwork from pick-up to drop-off. Five-star service, five-star experience from start to finish. If you’re visiting Bohol, book this tour – you won’t regret it for a second. We’d happily do it all over again tomorrow! Thank you Dave and Paul – you made our Philippine holiday unforgettable. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Best Tour in Bohol!

Raisha_K, Mar 2026
Our family had an absolutely unforgettable experience with Bohol Ecotours, and we can't recommend them enough. We were a large group spanning three generations — from a 3-year-old to a 75-year-old — and our guide Dolly made the entire day seamless and enjoyable for every single one of us, no matter our age or activity level. Dolly is simply outstanding. Funny, warm, and incredibly knowledgeable, she brought Bohol to life in a way that kept everyone engaged and entertained throughout the day. It was clear she has deep roots in the community — everywhere we went, she knew the locals! We hit all the best stops, including an incredible waterfall, and lunch on the Luboc river. We left feeling like we'd truly experienced the island, not just seen it. A shoutout is also due to our driver Harvey, who was fantastic. If you're visiting Bohol, book this tour and ask for Dolly and Harvey — you won't regret it

Best excursion

Brandon_l, Feb 2026
This was hands down one of the best excursions I’ve ever experienced , all thanks to Novie and EcoTours! From the moment she picked us up, Novie’s energy set the tone for an incredible day. She shared fascinating history about Bohol and the Philippines, answered all of our questions, and kept the ride fun and engaging the entire time. Our first stop at the historic church and museum gave us meaningful cultural insight, followed by visits to the breathtaking Chocolate Hills, the Tarsier Forest, and the waterfalls , each more beautiful than the last. One thing I truly appreciated was that Novie and her crew took photos and videos for us throughout the day, so we never had to worry about capturing the perfect shot. We could just enjoy the experience. We also stopped at a local house to try homemade coconut wine, which was such a unique and authentic touch! The Loboc River cruise was another highlight , the food was amazing, the views were gorgeous, and dancing with the traditional performers made it even more special. And to top it all off, we ended the day with karaoke in the van on the ride back — the perfect, fun finale to an already unforgettable experience. This excursion exceeded my expectations and was worth every penny. I would absolutely recommend Novie and EcoTours to anyone visiting Bohol!

The Eco-nature excursion was great to be away from the crowds for Tarsier and Chocolate Hills. Some of the other activities were the usual tourist attractions. Our guide, Joseph, was wonderful - knowledgeable and helpful.

Highlight of the trip!

Alice_M, Mar 2025
We absolutely LOVED this tour!! I believe it depends on the number of people booked that day, but we got lucky that the day we booked it was just the two of us and our driver and tour guide, so we essentially had a private tour! Jessy was our tour guide and he was incredible! He spoke perfect English and was so passionate, knowledgeable, fun and absolutely hilarious! He really made the day so special and an absolute highlight of our whole trip in the Philippines. He did everything possible to ensure we felt safe and comfortable and that we got everything out of the day we were hoping for. The day was jam packed with activities and it really felt like you got your moneys worth! We loved the immersive tour of the market, the tarsiers were such beautiful creatures, the river cruse was really fun with tasty food and great entertainment and views, the waterfalls were beautiful, the quiet view point for the chocolate hills and the ATV quad bike rides added (for an extra cost on the day) were all fantastic. Jessy also provided us with some water, snacks and a magnet and necklace souvenir which was a lovely touch. And the diver Harvey was also so lovely and a very safe driver ☺️ This tour is organised through eco travels who seem to really care about eco tourism, protecting the environment in the Philippines and also providing good working conditions for their staff, so deffo check our their other tours or reach out for a private tour. I would 100000% recommend this to anyone visiting the Philippines ☺️ A & K

The tour was well designed and conducted very professionally by both, our guide & our driver. The pickup was right on time, after which warm welcome and trip schedule was suggested. We wanted to change the order of some stops and there was no problem with that. At each stop, Josephus was always at our side with thorough explanation of all the possible questions we had. To summarize our experience, we felt well taken care of by knowledgeable, respectful and entertaining guide & driver…a great tour.

Well-organized and no time wasted to experience what Bohol offers. I have a very well-trained tour guide who did an excellent job to relate the stories of all the attractions. I will recommend the tour agency for any solo tour in Bohol.

Great Experience

Christina_N, Apr 2024
Dolly, our guide, and Freddy, the driver, gave us a great tour of Bohol. Dolly was so smart and knowledgeable. She knew geography, history and much more. We had a private tour with just the two of us. Pick up and drop off at hotel. It was a hot and humid day but having a private van alleviated the heat. This company may be on the pricey side but the convenience and the experience was all worth it. Thank you Dolly and Fred.

Highly recommended tour

serena_g, Dec 2025
The tour was great. We visited all the scheduled stages without running and without waiting. The stop at the falls was the icing on the cake because it gave us the opportunity to cool off and enjoy a beautiful landscape in the heart of nature. Special thanks to our very kind guide BOYEE and driver HARVEY. Highly recommended tour!

Enough done and seen without rushing

Jasper_S, Nov 2025
The private tour is relaxed, without rushing and will take you to the tourist attractions but without the crowds of a group. The tour guide arrived at the hotel in time for the pick-up. The car was clean and comfortable. The day program is varied so the day flies by. Our tour guide spoke very good English and could tell a lot. We recommend the day tour. As a tip we give to bring your own bottles of drinks because that was minimal. If you do the additional ATV tour along the way, keep in mind that you can get really dirty. Bringing a clean set of clothes and old shoes is not a luxury.
