What people love about Philippines Tours from Manila
The service was really efficient and everything went very well!!!!
PhiIippines in a Week
- Philippines Palawan Island Getaway
Ian, our tour guide, was knowledgeable and made sure everything was running on time. We had some disruption to our water activities due to high waves in Palawan, but Ian and Michael pivoted the activities so they were still fun and engaging. I booked the tour to just relax and let someone else do the planning for me and it worked wonderfully. Would book again with Intrepid.
- West Philippines Classic 10 Day - One Life Adventures
The trip was fantastic. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to see beautiful sites and meet great people! Such a fun and interesting experience. Thanks One Life!
