- AEAmanda· June 2nd, 2025A great itinerary and very helpful people, both staff and the Filipinos we me. However, thing that could go wrong, did go wrong. Most of which were beyond the control of the tour group and others that could have been better handled. We just seemed to be in the 'couple' for which ducks just refused to line up.Show more

Did not follow through with our requests (i.e. having a proper bed in the room not a roll away, providing tour operators medical history so they are aware of food issues (anaphylaxis). Constantly kept waiting for transfers to arrive, up to 2 hours. Being told the wrong information (i.e. were told to wait at a certain point, tour operator told somewhere different. Being sent pick up info for the wrong airport). Flight times were not conducive to fulfill the itinerary.

Emily· September 18th, 2024It was a great trip, all besides the last 2 days when was stuck in the hotel due to the weatherShow moreCTPH TOUR commented on this reviewWe're so happy you had a great time on our 10 Days Philippine Tour package Emily! Thank you for your kind words and for trusting us with your travel experience. It was a pleasure having you, and we’d love to assist you again on your future travels.Trip date: September 2024- MSMark· August 5th, 2024This is a review of the 10 Day Philippine Tour. Strengths (1) The tour did a good job in visiting the best travel sites in the Philippines. (2) The hotels used were very good. Nice rooms with hot water, good bathrooms, and comfortable beds. Excellent friendly and helpful staff. Weakness (1) CPTH (tour provider) serves as your "travel agent" that books you on numerous independent vendor tours and airport transportation companies. All communication is through whatsapp (communication app). This means: If the independent vendor is good, you have a great time. If the independent vendor is bad, you have a poor time. *** For the most part, the independent vendors did a good job. However, we had some really poor vendors as well. *** For example, for the whale watching activity (The jewel of the trip -- and yes it was the best part of the trip). We were told to be ready at 2AM for an earlier morning pickup. We were ready, but the independent agency "forgot" to pick us up. So, we sat outside the hotel from 1:45 AM to 3:15 AM, all the time sending urgent pleas to CPTH to request the driver/guide pick us up. CPTH did answer your whatapps request for help and they did work to get their independent vendors to come and get us. We started our "best day" stressed sitting with the hotel security guard, worried you will miss the whale shark experience, one of the main reasons for selecting the tour package. I am thankful CPTH did come through at the end and got someone to take us to the whale sharks. Overall the transportation companies (airport to hotel, or hotel to hotel (El Nido) were ok. Keep in mind they will pack the max number of people and luggage in an most cases (More people = more money for driver/company). However, the trip to El Nido was completely unsatisfactory and dangerous. The bus driver even created a small extra wooden seat to jam in the small aisle. The bus that had a limit of 12 passengers, but was carrying 15 people at a time. A terrible long 5-6 hour trip from Puerto Princesa to El Nido. was extended to 8-9 hours, because the driver often pulled over at gas station or bus stops to take extra passengers on for shorter trips for extra cash. Overcrowding the small van was a significant safety issue as well. The van had a tire blowout on the trip. We could not even get out of the van, we were trapped in the back seats with the fake wooden seat blocking the way out of the van. Fortunately, when the tire blew out the driver was able to safely stop the van without crashing. Overall, very poor day. At first CPTH dismissed our review of the experience, until I sent photos. (Be sure to take photos of everything, if you want to be believed). The main weakness of the "10 day Philippines tour" is the overall structure of the 10 day tour. Too many all day travel days. I present a solution to CPTH below. The setup for the tour is generally 1 fun day at the target location and 1 travel day. (Travel Day: Arrive at airport 2-3 hours before flight, 1 hour flight, 1-2 hour airport transportation to new hotel. Every airplane in the Philippines was 2 or more hours late during our tour). So, travel days basically mean 7-8 hours are wasted in travel. COMMENT TO CPTH: To significantly improve this tour Skip Puerto Princesa. Fly directly to El Nido from Cebu. The 2 days used in Puerto Princesa could be added to El Nido. (The underground river activity is about the same distance from El Nido as it is from Puerto Princesa). The drive from Puerto Princesa to El Nido is a terrible experience (long, boring, crowded) that can be easily avoided. Comments about locations: Boracay - Excellent beaches, snorkeling, fun places to visit, numerous dining location (Might have been nice to stay longer at this location) Cebu - Large City (Magellan Sites and the Old Fort). Cebu itself is not worth the visit. HOWEVER, it is necessary to visit the Whalesharks in Oslob. The whale shark experience is the jewel of this tour package. It truly was an awesome experience. You will snorkel and maybe even get touched by a whaleshark. We did. After the whale shark experience you visit a private island resort (Sumilon Island) with amazing food (include free with tour)) and an excellent snorkeling beach and fancy swimming pools. This was our best day in Philippines. Puerto Princesa - This location can be skipped. Big City. El Nido - It is famous for its island Hopping Tours. There are 4 daily tours (A, B, C, D). A and C are the best tours for people that like to snorkel. This tour gives you 1 day of island hopping and 1 free day. We ended up doing Tours A and D. (Tour C was cancelled due to bad weather, a monsoon was in the area). The tourist area is small and can be walked, no transportation is needed. If you are tired of the water, El Nido also has a nice hanging bridge and mountain walk activity (take about 90 minutes). It was very nice.Show moreCTPH TOUR commented on this reviewThank you for your honest feedback Mark and for booking your tour with us.

Moya provided daily itineraries, point of contacts, and handled any special requests quickly! He even provided what to expect, what to bring, and what to look forward to even BEFORE the trip began. What service. I told all my friends about the CPTH and Moya. The hotels are good. Clean and safe. A couple were really modern with roof top pools. I will never forget my experience to the Philippines and Moya’s kindness and professionalism.Show moreCTPH TOUR commented on this reviewWe're so happy you had a great time on our 10 Days Philippines Tour package Lisa!

Lawrence
Asked on September 22nd, 2025Is it safe to be alone as it's quite independent. What about if I spent an extra night in Manila at the end? Or is it possible to add an extra night at the last stop before going back to fly out of Manila? I would want to have a room to myself so are there cheaper but still safe hotels because the single supplement is quoted a lot?
CTPH TOUROperator•Written September 2025While the journey is semi-independent, we provide detailed guidance and support throughout, and you'll always have me as your point of contact. It's absolutely possible to add an extra night in Manila or at the last stop before returning, whichever feels best for you. Just let us know your preference, and we'll be happy to help arrange it. Regarding accommodation, the single supplement does apply for solo travelers, and that's the only option we're able to offer at the moment. We do this to ensure comfort and privacy for our guests. We'll make sure you feel supported every step of the way—you won't be alone in this experience.

Gregory
Traveler•Written September 2025Can I delay my flight back to Manila for a few days at the end of tour so I can go on to Coron and back on my own?
- CTPH TOUROperator•Written September 2025
The whale shark experience has already been replaced with Moalboal in the itinerary, so unfortunately, swimming with whale sharks is no longer included in this tour.
- CTPH TOUROperator•Written September 2025
Would you like your return flight to Manila to be re-routed from Coron instead from El Nido? If so, may I also ask when you'd like your flight back to Manila so we can check the best options for you?

Asked on July 29th, 2025I am interested in doing a island hoping tour in the Philippines early next. Could you please inform me of opportunities with your tours for Scuba Diving with the whale Sharks and diving at some of the other famous dive sites in the Philippines.
- CTPH TOUROperator•Written July 2025
Our 10-day Philippines Island Adventure is a fantastic way to explore the country's most beautiful destinations, and I'm happy to let you know that it includes stops in some of the best areas for marine life, stunning beaches, and exciting adventures. While this particular package does not currently include a dedicated scuba diving experience or a whale shark encounter by default, we'd be more than happy to help you personalize your trip with optional dive add-ons. Here's how it can fit your interests: Moalboal (Cebu) is a diver's paradise and home to the famous sardine run, vibrant coral walls, and turtles. We can absolutely arrange scuba diving sessions here during your stay. While the itinerary doesn't currently include Donsol or Oslob, where whale shark encounters are common, we can explore customizing your journey or adding a pre-/post-tour extension to include this unforgettable experience. In El Nido, while diving isn't in the core itinerary, the snorkeling and lagoon tours offer fantastic views of the underwater world, and optional diving can be arranged if you're keen to explore more of Palawan's marine biodiversity.

Leah
Asked on May 20th, 2025Can I travel solo and join a group? Can I share room with someone from the group or do I need to apply for a single room? In that case, how much does the price increase? Are all routes by plane? Do we have boat routes? What are the payment conditions?
- CTPH TOUROperator•Written May 2025
Yes, you're welcome to travel solo. Many travelers do this. We offer private rooms only, so if traveling alone, a single supplement will apply. I'll be happy to share the exact cost once you choose your departure date. Main trips between destinations are by plane to maximize time. Some tours include boat trips, especially during island-hopping portions. For payment conditions, Tourradar will provide the most accurate information on payment options and terms.

Asked on May 19th, 2025Me and my friend wish to book separate rooms but we are concerned about the accommodation on day 7,8,9 Spin El Nido which is a youth hostel - could you find us a hotel instead please?
- CTPH TOUROperator•Written May 2025
Absolutely, we can arrange two separate rooms for both of you — you'll just need to cover the single supplement for each. Just to reassure you, we always book private rooms for our guests, so you'll have your own space to relax and enjoy. As for the accommodation in El Nido, instead of the youth hostel, we'll book you at Marianne Suites, a lovely hotel our guests have enjoyed. Let us know if you have any other preferences or questions — we're happy to help!
