Real experiences from real travelers
Our driver arrived exactly at 3:00 AM at our hotel in Cebu City. The van was spotless and the AC was perfect. He drove safely through the dark morning hours so we could sleep. We got to Oslob right before the lines got long. Highly recommended!
We booked the private sedan for just my wife and me. The car was new and the ride was smooth. It takes about 3.5 hours, but the driver stopped whenever we needed a break. Much better than the bus.
The service itself was excellent. The driver was very polite and knowledgeable. The only issue is the traffic coming back to Cebu City in the afternoon, which is unavoidable. Plan for a long day!
Don't bother with the bus if you have the budget. The private transfer let us leave our bags in the van while we swam and went to Tumalog Falls. It made the whole day stress-free.
I was worried about the roads, but our driver was very cautious and professional. The van had plenty of space for our family of 5 plus luggage. Good value for money.
