I believe from the review the we read that Hector is a good guy, but unfortunately he was overseas when we took the tour. I and my friend paid 150 EUR each (total 300 EUR) for this tour. We expect that the tour runs according to the itinerary in its official website, and I already told him & his team that we will be arriving in Malabo Airport at 10am, would like to be picked up right from the airport so that we don't lose any time to see the beauty of Bioko Island.
But then when we arrived at the airport, some signs of the problem already appeared. We didn't see anyone in the arrival hall. Normally, they will wait at the arrival part of the airport with our names on a paper to identify us. But then we saw nobody, we went out, walking to the international terminal and back but it was just nobody there! We were waiting at the airport for almost 2 hours and we decided to take a taxi to our hotel... I texted Hector and Eli (his team) and finally at almost 12, Hector replied my text and the guy who was supposed to pick me up and do the tour started to text me as well. He claimed that he already texted me (but I did not receive anything). So he finally came to the hotel... and the tour that was supposed to be started at 10am and instead it started at almost 12 noon.
We returned to the hotel at 5pm and then we realized that we didn't really follow the itinerary. For us, it was just a stop in a bridge (forgot the name), brief stop in Riaba, brief stop Moka's nature research & conservation center, brief stop in Batete for the wooden church, and brief stop in White Sand Beach.
The following stops were complete omitted: Rebola, the church & the stadium; Bososo; the village craftsman in Moka, and Luba City. The guide added a stop in Batete though...
