    I had the best time on my Philippines 13 day Intro tour. It included all the activities I wanted to do whilst in the Philippines whilst still giving us time to enjoy all the places we stopped. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and ensured our whole tour was stress free, so we could fully enjoy and be present in the moment. Our tour guide (Zoe) was equally great at bringing the whole group together so it felt like one big travel family. Would highly recommend!

    I throughly enjoyed my 13 days in the Philippines , stunning views , fun activities and delicious authentic food. My favourite part of the trip was the boat trip and seeing the beautiful islands. Zoe was a great tour leader , she was always organised and had interesting facts to share with the group at all of our destinations. I would recommend the trip and Zoe as a tour leader to my friends :)

    I don’t think we could have asked for a better tour leader than Kyle to navigate us through not one, but two typhoons. Despite the surprise typhoons Kyle kept the vibes positive with his karaoke, dancing and personality. Where some activities were cancelled by the coastguard, Kyle arranged alternatives so that we were still able to have a great time as a group. I used this as the beginning of my philippines travel, meaning I was able to carry on exploring with friends I made from the group. Kyle’s travel knowledge was also incredible meaning that he was giving advice for destinations past the end of our Intro tour. We also had Alex join our tour as a leader and he was a fantastic addition to our tour group. His friendly and positive attitude meant that he was always checking in and ensuring the group was having a good time! The trip itself removes all the stress of making decision while travelling, letting you just enjoy the experience and make lots of friends with others on the tour. I would recommend this tour to others, and I look forward to booking another tour with Intro!

    I just finished the 13 day Philippines Island Hopping tour and it was incredible despite two typhoons during our trip. Our group leader, Kyle, was brilliant at keeping the mood and vibes up throughout the rain and made sure we had a good time. We didn’t get to do the canyoneering with the weather but he provided alternative activities to make sure we still had activities to do. I met wonderful new friends and made amazing memories on this trip. Would recommend to anyone!

    Amazing tour and would highly recommend. Very lucky to have a good group of travellers with me and a great tour leader, Andri. Andri was so helpful, reassuring, fun and informative. I would definitely look to book another Intro trip in the future, especially if he’s the leader! Covered some amazing islands and loved all the activities. Haven’t got a bad word to say or anything negative. I would recommend arriving and departing a few days before/after the tour to explore Manila and El Nido in further depth.

    Amazing tour from start to finish! The itinerary was great, very full on but that’s what we liked as we got to see as much of the Philippines as possible. Andri was our leader and he was the best! Very friendly, very knowledgeable and made us feel comfortable straight away, massive help with onward travel! No faults with him or this trip we loved it so much

    I just finished my tour and it’s been absolutely amazing from beginning to end. We were really well taken care of by our group leader Andri making sure everyone was safe and seen while being a good friend along the way. He truly made the experience memorable. The itinerary was excellent and everyday was filled with something exciting. One of the best experiences of my life. 10/10

    This was one of the best trips I've done. The itinerary was the perfect mix of activities and down time & I felt, hit the key places I'd travel to if doing it fully solo. Whilst the tour itself and the people I met on it were a big part of me having the best time, it wouldn't have been the same without our tour leader Andri. He helped join the group together before we even started and made everyone feel included once we got there. He was the best mix of chilled and reliable, super knowledgeable and put the needs of the group first like the wonderfully caring human he is. We always knew what we were doing and when and it felt like he made the trip run so smoothly - I only had to worry about turning up and having a good time. If you're thinking about booking this DO IT (and pray you'll have Andri has your leader)
