What people love about Philippines Tours in October
- Philippines Island Explorer 13 day
I’ve just finished the amazing 13 day Intro tour around the absolutely beautiful Philippines. What an insane experience it was! I can’t recommend this company and tour enough, we covered so many different locations. What is unique about this company is that there are so so many unbelievably fun activities which are all included, with no extra fees along the way. With lovely accommodation and food too. We were also all looked after so well by our super fun and friendly tour leader Sam Smith. ☀️ ????????
- Philippines West
Justin was my favorite part of this trip, he is super organized and professional and experienced. He always made everyone comfortable and has the patience of a saint. I could not recommend him and the tour enough. He is extremely caring and attentive to everyone's needs and made the whole 10 days stress free. I loved every excursion and visiting certain places really seemed to see real Filipino life. From my first night to my last night both Justin and Jason have been incredible. Both extremely knowledgeable about the Philippines and engaged us to learn more (eating with our hands haha) The trip has allowed me to learn about the Philippines in both commercial cities and local life. Everyday was different from snorkeling/ waterfalls to visiting local families. Philippines is by far my favorite in the world simply because of this trip!!
- West Philippines Classic 10 Day - One Life Adventures
Couldn't have asked for a better trip. I have been on the same style of trip to Thailand and you don't get to see or do nearly as much. The highlight was definitely the sunset cruise!! Amazing work guys
