Tour Guide:
When I finally decided to surprise my mother with a vacation trip in Bohol, I searched the net for a legit tour guide from Bohol. I found a lot of them and compared their prices through emails.
After few days of searching and inquiring, I found Kuya Jesser “Tatsky” Cubero. He is one of the popular tourist guides in Bohol, and he is also one of the most reviewed guides in the internet in terms of affordable Bohol tours. So after choosing between many options, I settled on getting Kuya Tatsky. Why? Because of his versatility. He can provide not only tours with a driver/guide but accomodations and ferry transfers which are the job of his wife Ate Kathy. Another thing that I like with their service is its flexibility. They know how to adjust with their clients. And indeed, QUALITY SERVICE IS THEIR PROFESSION.
For the Countryside Tour you can choose from any of the following:
- 2,000 pesos for a car up to 4 persons
- 2,300 pesos for innova up to 7 persons
- 2,600 pesos for van up to 12-15 persons
