This trip was a great introduction to the Philippines, from the city of Manila to the mountains and rice terraces of the northern Philippines we covered a lot of ground. And for me, a highlight was our climb to the top of Mt. Pinatubo. Our tour guide, Nikki, was excellent. She was organized, knowledgeable, and fun to travel with.

Nikki, our tour leader was excellent. She gave us lots of information about the country and gave clear instructions regarding the timetable and activities. The tour was varied and the extension was well worth doing as you could snorkel off the beach and the accommodation was perfect. Some of the walks I found challenging but Nikki made sure that the local guides helped with tricky steps, river crossings and if balance was an issue.

I found the leader welcoming and very helpful. However I found the trip too full often arriving at accommodations just before supper time giving little time to wind down or, for the more energetic, time to explore. I would prefer a more relaxed schedule and would recommend adding a facility to the website where I could actually sort trips according to level of physical activity.

The North Phillipines was an excellent adventure tour. A good mix of sight seeing, and meeting the people and their culture, The rice fields, weaving, pottery and UNESCO heritage sites were interesting and fun, all made so much better by Ian our tour guide. Ian was very informative, interesting, and very humorous. He did everything to make sure we had everything we needed, was able to answer all questions and bought some special local treats for us to try. Ian looked after us all so well. The drivers were amazing too having quite a lot of driving to do. Bohol beach extension was so relaxing, in a beautiful hotel with a lovely Sandy beach. A perfect end to a great holiday.

What an incredible 17 day tour in the Philippines with Steve and our group. I had been looking forward all year to finally visiting the Philippines. I’m so glad I chose this travel operator again. All of the destinations on the tour were perfect in giving us such a varied experience of the Philippines. My favourite stops were Port Barton, El Nido & Boracay. I also loved the Isla experience. I felt the trip had a perfect mix of busier and quieter locations, and I loved that we moved around often. As usual, the accommodations were all great, as well as all the activities included. My top activities were definitely all the boat trips - island hopping, snorkelling, kayaking in lagoons. The canyoneering was something I was nervous for but it ended up being such a fun day! Steve was an incredible tour guide - we were so lucky to have him, and I know the rest of the group agree! He is so dedicated to his job and the gorgeous Philippines. Steve was super knowledgeable, passionate and professional. He really made the trip what it was. He looked after us so well and ensured we were all having the best time and staying safe. Thank you Steve/Kevin/Ben. The Philippines is absolutely completely stunning and I’d recommend it to everyone. I don’t want to leave!

I had an amazing time on this tour and would really recommend. My tour guide Alvin did any amazing job at organising and planning a jam packed 10 days of fun. I seen so much and had great experiences which I don’t think I would have managed if I travelled on my own.
