What people love about Fully Guided Tours in Philippines
- East Philippines Classic 10 Day - One Life Adventures
Love this tour! Everything was organized and prepared for you to experience a wonderful adventure. All you gotta do is relax and have a beautiful time!
- Philippines Island Explorer 13 day
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, it’s 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 INTRO’s first tour in the Philippines but my fiancé 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 can’t wait!
- 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.
