The tour guide/driver Ed was helpful as he guided us to places where we want to. Unfortunately, the other museum which we are supposed to visit was closed. As such, there is a need to update published itinerary/places to go to disclose a statement that some attractions are close due to holiday/non opening day, etc. But overall, our Bacolod tri-city tour was good.Bernadine_S

It was a good tour. I highly recommend this experience. Because it rained in the afternoon, the experience in Talisay was not as pleasant as the Bacolod and Silay leg of the tour. Of course, this was not the fault of the tour operator.
