A fabulous trip with so much variety and a full experience of life in the Philippines. The tour leader was delightful, incredibly well organised, very knowledgeable and so enthusiastic. He made the trip so enjoyable. The local tour guides were also very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this trip
Great trip and lots to see and I would highly recommend a trip to the Philippines. I have travelled with explore many times and I would recommend them as a good company to travel with. Accommodation on the trip was a bit varied some was great and some was average. There were some last minute changes to the accommodation from that advertised on the trip notes but we were compensated with free dinners on those nights so on balance it worked out okay. The local tour leader was fabulous, nothing was too much trouble, endlessly cheerful and helpful. I would recommend doing the beach extension as where we stayed was lovely and great way to relax before heading home.
Good trip great extention we missed the tattooed village
I have said good value for money but I had a free single room otherwise I might have thought otherwise. Loved the trip, the group and the guide. A great package!
