What people love about Private Tours in Philippines
- 10 Days Do The Philippines Adventure - Palawan Islands (Independent Tour)
This was an amazing 10 day tour of the Palawan islands in the Philippines. Starting at Puerto Prinsesa we journeyed up north through El Nido to Coron. Visiting must see locations with breathtaking views, it truly is an experience of a lifetime. The food was amazing and greatly exceeded all expectations, and our tour guide Jovian was excellent. He was so friendly and lively, doing his best to accommodate everyone, and make sure everything runs smoothly. He was very supportive of me and went above and beyond when I had an unfortunate injury at one of the beaches we went to. Overall the trip wouldn’t have been the same without him, he was one of the many highlights on this tour.

What our customers ask about Private Tours & Trips in Philippines
What unique experiences can I expect on a Private tour in the Philippines?
Private tours in the Philippines let you explore places at your own pace with dedicated guides. You can take exclusive island hopping trips through El Nido's lagoons or join bamboo bike tours in Manila's historic Intramuros district. Some tours include visits to natural wonders like the Chocolate Hills in Bohol. Accommodations range from the modern Four Points by Sheraton in Palawan to boutique hotels like The Funny Lion in El Nido. A TourRadar traveler shared: "Having a private guide made the Underground River tour so much more intimate and informative."

An 8-day Manila Bohol & Panglao trip gives enough time at each stop while a 5-day Palawan tour focuses on El Nido and Puerto Princesa.

Accommodations include stays at Solea Coast Resort Panglao and Hue Hotels Boracay.
When is the best time to book a Private tour in the Philippines?
The dry season from December to May offers the best conditions with February to April being ideal for activities like island-hopping in El Nido swimming at Kawasan Falls and exploring Bohol's Chocolate Hills. Properties like 1898 Hotel Colonia En Las Filipinas welcome guests year-round but see peak bookings in February and March. A TourRadar traveler reports: "We went in March and had perfect weather for all our activities especially the island-hopping tours in El Nido."
What's included in the meal plans for Philippines Private tours?
Most tours include daily breakfasts at partner hotels like Lex Hotel Cebu and Savoy Hotel Manila. Select lunches come with activities such as island-hopping tours and the Loboc River Cruise. The Palawan Getaway for example provides 4-5 breakfasts and 2-3 lunches featuring local Filipino dishes and fresh seafood. Dietary needs including vegetarian vegan and halal can be met. One TourRadar traveler noted, "The included meals were excellent especially the fresh seafood lunches during island-hopping tours."
