    A 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.

    Guide would only communicate what she needed to say. 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. E.g the morning is yours to enjoy Boracay…….. our pick up time was 7:30-8am!!

    This 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.

    This trip was excellent! Moya, my personal agent, was amazing and made my trip (as a solo woman traveler) comfortable and special. 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.

    Asked on December 5th, 2024

    Can you let me know how is the whale shark experience in Oslob ? We were thinking in padre burgo, not sure which one will be better? What about changing day in cebu for panglao o Bohol? Is it worthy ? Your in spanish is possible ?

    Tour Details
    Travel Support
    • CTPH TOUROperatorWritten December 2024

      The whale shark experience in Oslob is truly amazing! It's one of the best places to swim with these magnificent creatures, and the experience is generally very well-organized and safe. If you're looking for an unforgettable encounter with the whale sharks, Oslob is definitely the way to go. Regarding your question about Padre Burgos, while it's also a great spot, Oslob tends to offer a more accessible and more popular experience for tourists, especially if you want a guaranteed sighting of the whale sharks. As for Bohol, I highly recommend adding a day trip from Cebu to Bohol on Day 3. Bohol is known for its beautiful beaches, the famous Chocolate Hills, and the adorable tarsiers. It's definitely worth the visit, and a day trip from Cebu will give you a great opportunity to explore both islands without needing to extend your stay in Cebu.

      We would like to see the whale sharp in a n autentique area. Do you have any videos of how it works ? Do you see it while diving? Not sure which places would be more authentic. In that case, how are distance between cebu and Oslob and cebu padre Burgos, and third day bohol? Can you send new itinerary. About hotels, which ones are included it in that priced.

      TravelerWritten December 2024

      Hello, is it possible to get the final itinerary with Padre Burgo instead of Oslob. Also the hotel option(as nice as possible)

    • CTPH TOUROperatorWritten December 2024

      Hello! Just to clarify, when you mention Padre Burgo, are you referring to the municipality in Leyte? Once I confirm that, I can check if we can adjust the itinerary accordingly. As for the hotel, I'll make sure to find the nicest option available for you.

    • CTPH TOUROperatorWritten December 2024

      Hello! I'm so glad to hear that the whale shark sighting spot was recommended to you. Just a heads-up, while the area is stunning and full of nature, it's still in the process of development, so there aren't many luxurious hotels just yet. But I'm sure it'll only get better over time.

    Price / Availability
    • CTPH TOUROperatorWritten November 2024

      For our hassle-free package tour, the rate remains the same whether it's two or three people sharing a room, so we don't have separate pricing for single rooms. If you'd prefer separate beds, we can certainly arrange that within the shared room. As for the price, it's difficult to predict if it will drop again, as it depends on factors like availability and demand. I recommend booking soon to secure the best rate available.

      Are the weight specifications for checked baggage 20 kg and hand baggage 7 kg for all 4 flights? Does this also apply to overland travel by vehicles?

    • CTPH TOUROperatorWritten November 2024

      Yes, the weight specifications for checked baggage are 20 kg, and for hand baggage, it's 7 kg on all four flights. For cross-country journeys by car, there are no strict baggage weight limits like airlines, but we recommend keeping your luggage within reasonable limits for comfort and ease during travel.

      TravelerWritten December 2024

      Is it possible to extend the stay at a destination by one day? For example, one extra day in Boracay and El Nido. If yes, how much would that cost?

    • CTPH TOUROperatorWritten December 2024

      Yes, it is possible to extend your stay in both Boracay and El Nido by an additional day. However, please note that this may take time waiting for transfers. We are currently finalizing the details of your customized package, including the cost of the extra days, and will provide you with the total once everything is confirmed.
