Philippines Explorer Trips

Great trip - the important places are covered at every major city and you also have enough of free time to do your own. All the hotels were great (the one in Takayama was a stand-out though). However, I would suggest you skip the optionals offered and opt for the ones offered in Klook as they are way cheaper. As my trip took place in late December, the weather was pretty cold with occasional rain so it's best that you avoid the winter period for maximum enjoyment. This trip also takes you to try the various local cuisine so that is a real plus.

Was an excellent tour! I am not a 'tour person' by any means but thought I would give it a try in Japan as I heard several concerns about transport and language. The tour was well put together and did really showcase some of the wonderful places in Japan I would have missed if I had planned it myself. My tour guide Kat was super helpful and made this trip even better, she helped with any concerns, gift guides, best places to get certain food and drinks and far more! Would absolutely recommend it for everyone.

This trip was a great introduction to Japan for first time traveler. It has a good balance of included activities and free time to explore each location. Our trip leader Katherine is very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and detail oriented.

It was my first solo travel and let me tell you this tour was amazing!! Katherine our tour guide was so kind & made us all feel so comfortable and always had the best options for us to do on free time. Our time in Takayama was incredible! One of my favourite spots! All the hotels were in amazing locations and so close to public transport or shops. And can’t forgot I Made the most amazing friends!

Good itinerary that had a mix of planned activities and free time. Having the tour guide met us in boracay before our meeting point in cebu for the next leg of the tour was also really nice and made moving about seamless. Activities included the more well known things people do which was nice and we had free time to decide what else we wanted to do. It was also nice that the planned activities were almost always a private tour just for our group so we weren’t in a big group with other people. All the accommodations were pretty nice especially in siargao and bohol and in very central locations.

This was a perfect whistle stop tour to ticket of many bucket list places and activities. The itinerary was the perfect variety of activity and chill / self explore time. I highly recommend this tour. Jay was incredibly organised, always keeping us updated and shared so much local knowledge that I will cherish. Thank you Jay for everything!!
