Just wrapped up the 13-day Philippines tour with Intro Travel, and what an unforgettable experience! Every day was packed with adventure. The itinerary was the perfect mix of exploring hidden gems, island hopping, cultural experiences. Huge shoutout to Libby our group leader — they were not only super knowledgeable and organized but also made everyone feel welcome from day one. Highlights? Snorkeling with sea turtles, watching sunsets, canoneerying. If you’re thinking about seeing the Philippines and want a stress-free, adventure-filled way to do it — can’t recommend this tour enough.

Philippines 13 day After travelling with friends and then solo for the last 3 months I decided to book this expedition with intro to end my travels and it was the best decision I made. All of the activities were amazing and especially our group leader Libby who was always there to help and answer any questions we had. This trip has definitely made me want to book more trips with intro ❤️

I did the 13 day Philippines with Intro travel. I recommend this company because they are organized, keep you on schedule & I have gotten along with both the tour leader & fellow peers. Going to the Philippines was on my bucket list for over a year & now I manifested this holiday. The Philippines is an absolutely amazing country, good food, good people & the culture is beautiful I have learnt so much travelling solo. I will continue to travel more in the future. Well done Intro Travel! Keep up with the good work 🙂

Amazing experience in the Philippines on the 13 day island adventure. Our guide Alex, was amazing and super knowledgeable of the area. INTRO was really good with working with its users and will definitely be returning and booking a tour through them again!
Excellent
We have just completed our 2nd INTRO trip, weve left with 19 new friends and endless memories. What we love about INTRO is how the tour leader just takes control and you dont have to worry about anything. On top of this, there is a good amount of free time that you dont get on other group trips. We have always felt safe with INTRO as your health and your safety seems to be paramount for them. We have also loved both of our trips (Japan & the Philippines) and both of tour leaders for our trips. Weve already put a deposit down on our next trip. Libby was a fantastic group leader and truly went above and beyond to make everyones trip incredible.
Excellent
Absolutely amazing experience for first time solo travel! So immersive in the culture with local tour guides, allowing us to experience and give back to the local community. Everyone was so lovely, great team leader (Alex) who organised everything so well and managed to keep our group under control with some wild nights! Covered such a large area of the Philippines, from the big cities to the remote islands. Incredible being able to see so much in such a small amount of time! Couldnt recommend this tour enough - not enough words would cover it! ¸
Excellent
We have just finished the 13 day Philippines tour and have had the most amazing time and seen so much. The tour was so well put together and there was enough time in each destination. Our group leader Alex was great, so friendly and kept us well up to date along the way, couldnt have asked for better ˜S
Excellent
This is my second time traveling with intro - so happy something like this exist. Both experiences in Bali and Philippines have been great. Overall, I definitely recommend ‚
Excellent
Great experience doing the 13 day Philippines tour! The Intro travel tour itinerary was great, so many different things that we did on this tour (my favorites were the Sardine run, canyoneering and the amazing boat journeys). We had a great tour leader Alex Devine who took care of us, was a lot of fun and took the stress out of the trip. Highly recommend!
Excellent
Intro is my favourite tour company to go with! So far I have been on two trips and absolutely loved them. The group leaders are so organised and great fun! Its so nice as a female solo traveller to have a safe group around you and someone who is knowledgeable or the area. My tour guides (Alex in the Philippines and Lauren in Vietnam) went above and beyond for us and I loved them both! They were so good at including everyone and checking in on us. 10/10 would recommend intro trips
Excellent
Just finished the 13 day phillipines tour The trip was just so fantastic Sophie was the best tour leader ever and someone I think everyone has fallen in love with on this trip. Her thoroughness and organization Really Made the trip What it needed to be! And that was fun And exciting! She dealt with any problems quickly and easily without any disruption to the group. We saw so many Fantastic things and experienced an abundance of joy throughout our 13 days, all of the transport was seamless and nearly everything was perfectly on time if only slightly early in arrival times. Once again Sophie Sophie Sophie Sophie if you can choose to do your trip please ask what trips Sophie is doing as she was the best tour leader Ive ever had. only complaint was that I wish the trip was longer (17 day trip)
Excellent
Just got back from the Philippines 13 day trip. Couldn't have asked for a better group of people or group leader to share the experience with...Alex is an asset to Introtravel and an absolute gentleman. Very knowledgeable, energetic and fun to be around. Alex was always checking-in to see we were ok and if we had any issues with our accommodation, he an extremely accommodating guy and no request was too big or too small- I would definitely recommend Introtravel and Alex as a group leader.
Excellent
Just finished the Philippines tour! Alex was our group leader, we had such an amazing group everyone was so lovely! The canyoneering was definitely a highlight, but some of the scenery was absolutely beautiful :) I would definitely recommend it if you are thinking about booking onto the tour.
Excellent
Had the best time on our Phillipines Island Explorer tour! Alex was the best tour guide we could've asked for! He was fun, organised and knew a lot about the country. The tour was well thought out and we feel like we got to experience everything we wanted to in the Philippines. We've already paid a deposit for our next Intro Travel tour so we can't wait for the next one!
Excellent
I just finished my 13 day Philippines Island explorer with Andri and Kells (for half the trip) as our wonderful leaders. Both were super friendly, funny, easy going, and helpful as well as great at communicating what we were going to be doing for the day. There was even 3 separate birthdays and each of them got a cake and a wonderful bday celebration from our leaders! What I love about IntroTravel is how it's like elevated backpacking but stress free! I really enjoyed as well all the activities picked for us to do and accommodation was decent for the price (really liked the hotels in Coron and Manila though). Finally, the 3 day boat trip from Coron to El Nido was def the highlight of the whole trip! It was a wonderful bonding experience and made me get closer with my group members and really made us friends for life. The food cooked by the boat crew cannot be missed, it was by far the best meals we had on the whole trip. Overall, out of all the Intro tours I've done so far, this was one is my favorite.
Excellent
I did the Philippines tour and was lucky enough to have sherry as my tour leader!! I had the best time ever, the activities, the group and sherry were all amazing! Some< Highlights for me were the sardine run and seeing amazing sea life snorkelling on the islands!!!defs benefited from having sherry as she is a local and got to know more about the country and culture of Phillipines and she was very knowledgeable and able to answer any questions we had!! Sherry also made the trip so much fun, she is professional, caring, funny and probably one of the best people I ve ever met, she is just amazing and a legend! Everything about this trip was great! It was my first time doing intro travel and it defs won t be my last, 10/10 experience Feel so lucky I got to be apart of this trip with the amazing group!! ¸ ¸ ¸ ¸ ¸
Excellent
Just finished on the Philippines Explorer tour and it s quickly moved to the top the list of my favourite ever group trip! Sherry was an absolutely amazing group leader, she couldn t have helped us all anymore more. Her pure kindness, energy and knowledge on the Philippines was second to none and I couldn t imagine doing the tour without her! This is now my 3rd intro tour and I ve always had a fab time. I ll be back for my next one soon! A personal highlight for me was the boat trip in Coron, and the 3 day expedition to El Nido. Although i loved every single second of the entire trip and pushed myself out my comfort zone to do things like never would have been able to experience. The boat crew were amazing, and the food and trip was one of my highlights! I m so sad it s come to an end ’•
Excellent
Just got back from the Philippines 13 day island explorer & honestly, this was one of the best trips I;ve done. The itinerary was the perfect mix of activities and down time & I felt, hit the key places I;d travel to if doing it fully solo. Whilst the tour itself and the people I met on it were a big part of me having the best time, it wouldn;t have been the same without our tour leader Andri. He helped join the group together before we even started and made everyone feel included once we got there. He was the best mix of chilled and reliable, super knowledgeable and put the needs of the group first like the wonderfully caring human he is. We always knew what we were doing and when and it felt like he made the trip run so smoothly - I only had to worry about turning up and having a good time. If you;re thinking about booking this trip, DO IT (and pray you;ll have Andri as your leader)
Excellent
My intro travel trip to the Philippines was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment I arrived, Alex, my group leader, was incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, and attentive. His insights not only enriched my experience but also ensured I explored the best of what the Philippines has to offer. With Alex guidance, I discovered hidden gems, indulged in delicious local cuisine, and immersed myself in the vibrant culture of the islands. Thanks to him, my journey was not just a vacation but a memorable adventure filled with unforgettable moments. Highly recommend and if you re lucky enough to get Alex as your group leader your guaranteed to have a once in a lifetime experience
Excellent
13days philippines tour with Lonby was just insane. I always felt comfortable and the mood was amazing. I can only recommend it. Stayed at different locations each 3 nights, which made it more chill to dip into with the locals.
Excellent
I have just finished the 13 day Philippines tour with Libby and I would highly recommend. The stress of traveling between all the islands is taken away and the places you visit were stunning. Plus Libby the tour leader was amazing.
Excellent
Recently came back from the 13day Philippine tour, this was my second tour with intro travel and both have been amazing. Our tour leader Zoe was very well educated and shared with us lots of interesting facts. Zoe had great banter and her karaoke skills were definitely a 10/10 ˜‚
Excellent
I just finished the Philippines trip and would 100% recommend Intro Travel. The activities are amazing and everything is very well organized. A very big thank you to Alex, he has been an amazing group leader and made the trip even better!
Excellent
Just finished the tour in the Philippines and Im glad I did this trip with Intro. Great organized trip, smooth operation, easy communication at all times. Our guide Julia Mas was such an energetic, outgoing, very approachable, and sweet person who went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt taken well care of and had everything that they needed to have the best time of their lives on this tour.
Excellent
I have now been on two intro trips the first in Thailand (18 day intro) and the second in Vietnam (12 day intro). The Thailand trip was one of the best things I have done in my life and the Vietnam trip has followed suit. Charlie Ghansam was my group leader for my Vietnam trip, he was very accomodating and made us all feel welcome and brought the energy everywhere we went and was a wealth of knowledge. I had missed my original flight and had gone to the wrong hotel and yet he was understanding and calm and helped me through all of this and was also excellent when it came to help with onward travel and suggestions on post trip activities. Because of my experiences with Charlie I have once again put down a deposit for yet another intro trip, the only thing Im upset about is that he wont be my group leader in the Philippines but 2/2 amazing group leaders eases my worries as to whether it will be another trip Ill remember fondly for the rest of my life.
Excellent
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
Excellent
Ive just returned from the 13 day Philippines trip and I had the best time. The activities were so much fun, made even better by our leader Andri. We found out towards the end that this was Andris first tour in the Philippines but you never would have known. His knowledge of the places we visited was amazing and he looked after us all like we were his own little family. We visited the most beautiful islands and snorkelled in the clearest waters. Id definitely recommend booking with intro travel, they look after you so well throughout the trip so you dont need to stress about anything. I cant wait to book my next one.
Excellent
Did the Philippines tour with Andri - so much fun!! Highly recommend intro for their tours
Excellent
Had an amazing 12 nights in the Philippines with Intro travel. Exceeded my expectations from day one. From Canyoneering in the beautiful fresh waterfalls to taking it back to basics with a three day island hoping boat trip to some spectacular sandy beaches ¸Massive shout out to an incredible tour leader DJ Sherry For having the best energy and being super organised throughout the trip‘She is Incredibly passionateh about her home country And I cant thank her enough for encouraging me to be more confident in swimming in deeper waters ’
Excellent
Just had the most incredible time in the Philippines with Intro! We had Sherry as a group leader and she was fantastic the best group leader and friend we couldve asked for as a group! The Philippines tour covered so much and had free time in each location to do anything extra you wanted to do and the activities are amazing, the canyoneering was thrilling and so much fun! The boat expedition was so much fun and staying in secluded beach huts was an experience Ill never forget. Friends made to last a lifetime and memories to match! This is my second intro tour and they never fail to be the best experience ever I did the Philippines tour with a friend I made on the Bali tour!
Excellent
I have just completed the Intro Philippines tour with my partner. Weve wanted to visit for ages, but as there so much to see, we didnt know where to start. Booking the Intro tour was the best decision! The itinerary was a great mix of activities and plenty of free time to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Our group (17 of us in our 20s and 30s) had the GREATest group leader Marek. Everything was so well organised and everyone felt included. His positive energy and infectious smile made the trip even better!! Highlights included canyoneering, snorkeling around ship wrecks and the clearest lakes, seeing dolphins and the 3 day boat trip staying on the most stunning beaches. We didnt want it to end and have already put a deposit down for the Japan tour! Would definitely recommend. Thanks to our group, Marek and Intro for the best memories ¸
Excellent
Just finished my Philippines intro travel tour and it absolutely exceeded my expectations. The trip was amazing. Our group leader Sherry was such a fun personality and really went above and beyond to make sure everyone had the best time. I wouldnt change a thing about the tour and would absolutely recommend this to anymore who seeks adventure. Our 3 day boat expedition to El nido was probably my favourite part of the tour. The boat staff on the expedition, Richard and his crew really provided an spectacular experience. Every single meal they provided really blew me out the water. Probably best food Ive ever had. Big thanks to them all.
Excellent
I have just completed the Philippines island explorer for my first Intro trip and it was spectacular from start to finish. Our group leader, Marek, was sooo amazing. We did nothing but laugh and have the best time as a group and we felt safe and extremely well looked after by him. He brought the spirit and the adventure!! This trip is perfect if you adore the sea ; snorkelling in crystal blue waters. Just immerse yourself in this stunning country and you will fall in love Thank you Marek, you are simply the best!!!
Excellent
The Philippines trip with Intro Travel was an amazing experience. Would definitely recommend it to anyone solo travelling or travelling with a friend/partner. You get to see so many amazing islands on this tour and encounter many sealife, including turtles and sardines! Kyle and Julia were our leaders and they made the whole trip! Everything was organised so we didnt have to worry about a thing. Thanks guys!
Excellent
The Philippines trip with Intro Travel was an amazing experience, the 3 day boat expedition being the highlight. Getting to sleep in traditional huts, snorkeling, eating amazing food and a final night out in El Nido with the crew. Massive props to Kyle and Julia for making the whole tour run smoothly and for the good vibes they brought to the group.
Excellent
I just finished the Philippines tour and I cannot recommend it enough!!! Marek and Kyle were my leaders and they were amazing and super helpful. Everything was organised for us which made everything feel relaxed. I will definitely be booking more tours with intro in the future!!! Thank you Marek and Kyle :)
Excellent
Just did the Philippines intro travel tour and it was honestly one of the best trip in my entire life. Loved absolutely everything. The itinerary is very completed if you wanna have a clear idea of the country. Accommodations chosen on the way are honestly very good and we never had any day with a bad meal. This is even probably what is gonna miss me the most in this country!! Also I think we got so lucky to be with our 2 incredible group leaders Sophie and Vitor. Sophie knows absolutely everything and shes so passionate about her job I cant even think about someone better than her. Shes a star. Vitor was following and helping us on the tour as hes gonna be a new group leader in the Philippines. Absolutely loved that guy, super good vibes and I wish him only the best for his future trips around this beautiful country.
Excellent
Just finished my first tour with Intro to the Philippines I cannot recommend this company enough. Everything was amazing from start to finish. They organised everything and I did not have to think about anything only enjoying the trip. Everyday was something new and exciting, and there is no way I could of had this experience visiting the country alone. They have definitely found all the best things to do. The tour guides were also amazing. Marek ; Kyle. They brought the vibes up so much, and made everything exciting, and everyday fun. It helped to blend our group so well and topped off the overall experience. I have already booked 2 more trips

I have just finished the Philippines Island Explorer trip with INTRO Travel and I absolutely loved it! The Philippines is such a beautiful country and I cant recommend it highly enough. The waters and the beaches here are unbelievable.

The group leader was amazing and really made this trip that extra bit better!

My partner and I have just arrived home following the intro Philippines tour, with 18 others and Sam, our tour lead. I would change nothing about this tour and would recommend to any who is looking to see a slice of the Philippines. Sam was amazing and relieved any stress we had following 24 hours of travelling almost immediately with his relaxed and welcoming manner. He remained kind and considerate throughout the tour, going above and beyond to ensure everyones needs were met! He had great knowledge of the local areas we visited, and it was evident he had build good relationships with local guides that join you throughout the tour, which just adds to the overall positive experience. Despite a few of our group becoming unwell at various points throughout the trip, Sam remained professional and attentive to these individuals handling the situation perfectly! Thank you so much Sam for an incredible trip, it was amazing!
Excellent
Ive just finished the amazing 13 day Intro tour around the absolutely beautiful Philippines. What an insane experience it was! I cant recommend this company and tour enough, we covered so many different locations. What is unique about this company is that there are so so many unbelievably fun activities which are all included, with no extra fees along the way. With lovely accommodation and food too. We were also all looked after so well by our super fun and friendly tour leader Sam Smith. ¸ µ
Excellent
Just finished the Sri Lanka tour yesterday and did the Philippines tour in January. I cant speak highly enough about Intro Travel. As I am 40 I can no longer do Contiki tours and I have been trying to find a tour company which is a similar mix of party, culture, experiences and fun. After doing tours with several other tour operators I came across Intro ad on Instagram and am so happy to have given them a shot. While there was a large range in ages in our groups, Philippines 23-40 and Sri Lanka 23-49 both groups had a good mix of people and I am how quickly everyone became friends. I will definitely be doing another tour and highly recommend Intro for anyone wanting to do a tour with more than just parties every night but not yet ready to do tours without any nights out.
Excellent
Philippines Island Explorer Loved this trip from start to finish. Highlights for me included exploring Siquijors mountains and visiting the shamans, visiting the Simala Shrine and the deserted islands. I enjoyed swinging from waterfalls at a number of beautiful spots, snorkelling with the sardines and swimming through the coral-filled waters on the boat expedition. This trip was the perfect balance of authentic culture, group activities and free time/relaxing (massages and the hot springs in Coron after a great night out). It was a great way to explore the Philippines. We got to see so many different islands and spent a good amount of time in each location. Josh was an amazing tour leader and made the trip an unforgettable experience. He answered all my questions before I arrived and made sure I was ok getting to the hotel from the minute I landed (5am!). He passed on lots of local knowledge at all of our stops, shared recommendations, and although he wasnt our group leader for the whole trip, he still kept in touch and helped me with my onwards travel. He was professional, approachable and made sure everyone was happy with how the trip was going. Nothing was too much trouble and he went out of his way on many occasions to make sure everyone had the best time. So grateful to be leaving the Philippines with some of the best memories and friends for life ’
Excellent
We have just finished the Philippines trip- jam packed full of challenges, adventure and feelings of achievement and feeling proud. Josh, our leader went over and above his role as tour guide every day, helping the group in every way possible- it wouldnt have been the same without him- thanks for everything
Excellent
The Philippines tour is amazing - my first Intro trip and I was not disappointed. The itinerary includes the perfect mix of fun activities, free time, travel and nights out. The Philippines is difficult to travel around, but our amazing tour leader Kyle sorted everything for us and always kept us updated with what we were doing. We were lucky enough to have Jeremy on the tour too - both of them went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable and having an amazing time (shoutout to their amazing dance moves). Cant recommend this tour, and Kyle and Jeremy as tour leaders, enough!
Excellent
Once again Intro, youve out done yourself. I just got back home after finishing my Intro Philippines tour. So yea a bit sad because it over, but Im left with some amazing memories. I am still trying to decide what was my favorite part of this tour. I got to tell ya though, that I wasnt sure howd I do during the 3-day boat expedition; I mean, I initially read that wed be sleeping in traditional Filipino huts. Yes, first world city boy problems. But man, man what an overall experience; so happy I did it. It was only hard to go to sleep because I didnt what to stop staring at the BEAutiful bright stars and moon listening to the chillaxing sounds of the ocean. It sure shut this city boy up! And I cannot forget about my boys Kyle and Jeremy, Intros tour guides for this trip. Those guys were the icing. Really cool chill guys, had me laughing most of the time. Always looking out for everyone, making sure we enjoyed ourselves. Not sure where Intro finds their guides from, but this was my fourth tour with Intro and every guide has been amazing. Thank you Kyle and Jeremy for rocking this tour; you guys were amazing!!!
Excellent
This was my second Intro tour and once again I wasnt disappointed. I loved everything about the Philippines itinerary. Just the right mix of holiday and travelling. Its a tough place to get around but Intro manages to keep it smooth the entire time. We were lucky to have the incredibly professional Kyle as our tour leader and as a bonus we had Jeremy along for the entire trip too. Both guys know their stuff, are clearly experienced, were always on hand to help and update us on the daily plans as we went along and most importantly, were terrific company. I already have the Intro Mexico tour booked for November. Cannot recommend this company enough5 stars!!
Excellent
Just finished the Philippines tour with Josh as our leader and I cant recommend the trip (or Josh) highly enough. The islands, the scenery and the activities were unbelievable. Was gutted when it ended!

Cannot recommended the Philippines tour enough. Thanks to our leader Josh for making the trip so easy and fun!!¸

Had an incredible time on the Philippines explorer tour. Josh our group leader was amazing. Very organised, funny and most importantly a great guy who was a huge reason why I enjoyed the tour as much as I did!!
Excellent
We have just finished our Philippines Island Explorer trip and had the BEST time! Our group leader Josh was absolutely spot on throughout and everything ran so smoothly. The experiences were once in a lifetime and I couldnt have wished for a better leader. Thanks for everything Josh, you are amazing ¸

Ive just finished the 13 day Intro Philippines tour and it was amazing. Our time was filled loads of activities, my personal fave was the canyoning. We got to see so many amazing spots and Im so glad I was in a group as the Philippines isnt so easy to get around. I saw so much more than I would have done if I was solo and I have come away with the best memories and a really close group of friends. Our group leader Kyle was amazing, giving us fun facts about each place we visited. He was super involved with the whole group, keeping us all entertained (so much important cats). We had our fair share of ups and downs because of the weather but Kyle kept us all positive so we were very lucky! We also had Josh and Tom join us for the first part of the trip and as a team they were great, super welcoming and so much fun. The tour was way better than I could have imagined and by the end of the tour we had become a little family. I would 100% recommended the tour and also Intro. I was loving it so much that by day 2 I had already booked onto another Intro tour! Thank you Intro and thank you Kyle ‘

Philippines tour was incredible!! Despite the typhoon and other hurdles we had the best time and thats mainly down to our amazing leader Kyle« He kept spirits high, provided amazing games and entertainment to keep us all in positive vibes. Canyoning was the most epic experience as well as the stunning beaches. Definitely recommend to anyone wanting a trip of a lifetime¸º

Ive recently completed the 13 Day Philippines Tour with Kyle as my group leader. I have been travelling solo for almost a year and although I love travelling solo, it is occasionally nice to let someone else do all the planning so I booked onto the Intro Philippines group trip. Im so glad I did! I had the best time with my group and with Kyle and Tom. (We were spoiled and even had Josh also join us at the end!) The Philippines is one of the trickier countries which I have visited to get around so I was more than happy to hand over the reigns to Kyle and let him sort everything. I had booked the trip with no expectations and had not even really checked the itinerary, but I honestly had the best time! We fitted in everything and more that I would have wanted to do! From jumping off cliffs in canyoneering to snorkeling around uninhabited islands on a 3 day boat trip staying in traditional huts over night. Kyle went above and beyond to make sure everyone was taken care of and was enjoying their time on tour! I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone heading to The Philippines!

Just finished the 13 day Philippines tour and it was amazing. You saw well known spots like swimming with sardines to hidden gems at Cambugahay falls in Siquijor. A personal highlight was the 3 day boat trip and island stays- you see so many beautiful beaches and sunsets while on the trip. Kyle was an amazing group leader and we had another Intro employee (Tom) with us for the whole trip. They made us feel welcome from start to finish even with the countless questions we all had.

Would massively recommend Intro Travel to anyone looking to travel and see the world! I went on the Philippines Island Explorer tour recently and absolutely loved it. My group was lovely and our tour leader Josh was amazing - he made sure we got the most out of every day and was always there to answer questions and help us with anything and everything - it was clear he really cared about all of us and our tour experiences. I couldnt have asked for more from this tour and would 100% recommend it! Its a trip that Ill never forget.

Ive recently returned home after numerous tours with intro. Josh was my tour guide for the Philippines and I couldnt have asked for anyone else. He ensured each day was super memorable and made sure everyone was always having fun. I had a fantastic time and it will definitely be a trip to remember!

I had always wanted to get to the Philippines and do some diving and then a friend recommended going on the intro travel trip. Ive never been much of a group tour kind of traveller and this was my first but I had a great time! It was also Intros first Philippines trip so it was all really exciting! The length of the trip was perfect to get to see and do what we did and for the time I had and having a leader to go through it all with you made it so much easier to travel. Thanks Jess!! The hotels were great! The hostel in Manila is NOT a hostel and more a hotel as we had private rooms which were really nice. The sardine run was unbelievable and getting back to basics and feeling like a real traveller on the island explorer 2 night boat trip was my highlight! Awesome trip with an even better bunch of people. Must do!!!

Great trip in the Philippines this was actually my first time coming to Asia and so glad I did it with INTRO. It made it so much easier than having to plan getting around and think of things to do. The tour was a good mix of activities and chill time. Seeing so many different islands there was quite a bit of travel but the 13 days never felt rushed and we spent a good amount of time in each location. I loved Siquijor Island, its got a very laid-back feel to it, and we did a cool trip around the island getting healed by local witch doctors and swimming in the waterfalls. El Nido was a fun little town with good nightlife, and the boat expedition was awesome sleeping in bamboo huts on the beach was great! I knew this was INTROs first tour in the Philippines but my fiancA had travelled with them before and she really wanted to go with them again, and honestly you would have thought they had run 1000 tours there everything ran so smoothly. We have already put down a deposit to go to Sri Lanka with INTRO next year as well and cant wait!
