    The tour was amazing. Orty the tour guide was fantastic with loads of knowledge of each location knowing exactly where to go and all the best places. This made the tour really feel worth while and unique. Despite weather difficulties everything went super smooth and I was never worried about any problems.

    After spending an incredible 10 days exploring Philippines West, I have to say that this trip wouldn’t have been the same without Orty. He was super organised, planning the itinerary each day perfectly. Orty is very passionate about his job as a tour guide and ensured to show us the best places and recommendations. He also took the time to ensure we all felt comfortable and included. He was more than just a tour guide and became a friend to all. This is a trip I will remember and cherish for a lifetime. Thank you Orty!

    Amazing and well paced itinerary. Orty had such a fun and energising presence every day and was super accommodating of everyone’s needs. He created the perfect balance between fun nightlife and an amazing daytime activity schedule. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide!!

    This was such a wonderful trip! Orty made us feel at ease immediately, and we always felt safe with his guidance. Every day had so many fun activities and every boat tour was just amazing. I enjoyed that we also learned about the cultural impacts of TruTravel and how we could help better some of the communities.

    My time in the Philippines has been unforgettable. Even though the itinerary was pretty jam packed, I felt that everything we did was so worth it. Orty nailed it as a tour guide making sure we were looked after and everything was running smoothly. Thank you for the amazing memories!

    Laura

    Asked on May 12th, 2025

    Wanted to confirm if your 10-Day Philippines West Tour was catered towards solo travelers too - in terms of accommodation, activities catered throughout, i know some tours are more-so geared towards a cohort consisting of smaller groups so I thought I would check.

    Accommodation
    Group size
    • TruTravelsOperatorWritten May 2025

      Yes, our trips cater very well for solo travellers - I would say about 60 / 70% of our travellers tend to be travelling solo.

      TravelerWritten March 2025

      I'm looking for a group of atleast 15 (prefer big group tours) if numbers go up a little I'd be interested in booking

    • TruTravelsOperatorWritten March 2025

      Just so that you are aware, our max group size is 20. What group size are you looking for?

    • J

      Jamie

      TravelerWritten March 2025

      Bigger group the better but 15 as minimal would be good

      Jamie

      TravelerWritten March 2025

      I'm still somewhat concerned about the weather in May ?

    • TruTravelsOperatorWritten March 2025

      The wet season in the Philippines is June - November so May will be at the end of the dry season. The rain should be minimal but as Philippines is a tropical climate its likely there will be some rain.
