What people love about 3-week Philippines tours
- Philippines Island Hopper
Chris was amazing from day one. Made our experience so enjoyable. Help us understand the local culture although he is not originally from the country but considers himself part of the furniture (Australian saying ????????), which helped a lot. Made me appreciate the places we visited. I am glad we had Chris as our tour guide and hopefully we can see him in Bali for my next tour. Good Luck and much love. Vin
