Unforgettable Tour in the Philippines!

Just wrapped up the most incredible 17-day tour through the Philippines, and it exceeded every expectation! The itinerary was packed with unforgettable experiences — island hopping, snorkeling with turtles, cliff jumping, kayaking, and so much more. But what truly made the trip unforgettable was the people… and one person in particular: Massive shout-out to Jay, our tour guide! 🙌 Jay was absolutely legendary — super friendly, organized, and always full of energy. He brought the whole group together like a family from day one, and his love for the Philippines was contagious. Whether it was teaching us local phrases, finding the best street food, or making sure every detail of the trip ran smoothly, Jay went above and beyond in every way. Can’t wait for my next adventure with this team!

Manila - Tour Highlights and Travel Tips

Tour Highlights

Intramuros (Latin for “between the walls”) is an old walled area located in the heart of Manila. This enchanting historic hub houses some of the most exquisite examples of the country’s Baroque architecture, including churches, convents, schools and palaces.
Binondo is the name of Manila’s Chinatown, the oldest one in the world. It is the perfect place to soak up the hustle and bustle of the busy Filipino capital. Also, if you find yourself in Manila during the Chinese New Year, this is definitely the place you want to visit.
Fort Santiago is an astonishing citadel which was built in the 16 th century by Spanish conquistadors. It is part of the walled circuit that rises around the district of Intramuros.
National Museum of Anthropology is situated in a grandiose neo-classical building. This sight is bound to be of interest to anyone who wants to learn more about Filipino history, arts and culture.

Travel Tips

If you need a break from the chaotic metropolitan vibe, seek shelter in Rizal Park, which is located just outside of the Intramuros district. This serene urban oasis, one of the largest ones in Asia, houses many luscious ponds, ornate gardens and historic monuments.
If you want to avoid the sticky and humid weather characteristic of Filipino summers, make sure to time your visit between the months of December and March. This is when the temperatures are mild and the weather is dry, making it ideal for sightseeing.
