Rio Travel and Tour was definition of a professional tour company. I've used tour companies in Egypt, Thailand, Greece, Philippines and Central America and this company ranks with the best. I had a 6:00 am pick up at the hotel and they were in the lobby waiting for me when I arrived at 5:55. They got me to the ferry terminal early enough to catch an earlier ferry to Bohol. When I got to Bohol an hour earlier than scheduled, they had easy contact information to talk with someone to tell them that I was early and they had my guide, Jenny and my driver there within 10 minutes. Great customer service! I had a private tour and could adjust, within reason, the schedule. Nothing was ever rushed. The tarsier sanctuary was awesome. Rode an ATV for an hour at the Chocolate hills. Saw the Chocolate Hills. Did the Lombac river tour and buffet. (Try to get on boat #2. The female singer has an unbelievably great voice.) Also saw the largest snake in captivity in the Philippines (had my picture taken with her. You can get pictures with the snakes and they can make them magnets as well), and the Baclyon Church. The guides were native from Bohol so they could answer questions about the island. I saw everything that was promised and more. The pick up on the return was flawless. All of the vehicles looked new and in great shape. All had excellent A/C. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this company.
Some tips. Bring cash, in pesos. You can buy souvenir photos and magnets in some places. It is a long l, active day so get good rest before you go. A camera is a must. Bring extra batteries or a way to charge your phone. Also, remember to tip the guides.
Overall, a spectacular day. I would definitely use Rio Travel and Tour again.
