I have now completed 4 intro tours, and each trip just gets better! We have just finished the Philippines tour, and the expeditions are out of this world, but what made this trip stand out most was our tour guide Zoe! she always went above and beyond, to make sure everyone was catered for and having the best time. Zoe was full of knowledge and ideas, and had more patience than I thought was possible. I would redo this trip all over again if possible with Zoe! I highly highly recommend this trip if you;re an adrenaline seeker, and looking to have a once in a life time trip

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.

A very enjoyable trip with some impressive scenery, interesting food, an outstanding guide (Rey) and some great experiences. There was no major highlight but collectively the places visited provide an insight in to the Philippines and the culture. And we had 2 typhoons which made for some challenges at times.

Tour in traffic congested Manila was a nightmare, best part of the tour was the lunch and shopping. A Venue hotel was very dirty and air conditioner spits out dust and more Dust. Costabello in Cebu resort was very clean and food great. The tour in Bohol was outstanding, loved the Chocolate Hills.

There was a lot of activities and a balance of time to rest and meet people. The hotels were nice and the transport was always ready and arranged well. I like the visit to the dog sanctuary and the beautiful beaches although the weather did not always hold up.
