    I just completed the 17-day Island Hopping Adventure with TruTravels, and I can't say enough good things about our tour leader, Vanezza. From day one, she brought incredible energy, positivity, and organisation to the trip, making sure everyone felt welcome, safe, and involved. Her local knowledge and experience meant we never missed a hidden gem or a photo-worthy moment, and she was always ready with recommendations, fun facts, and the occasional hilarious story. She handled every detail with professionalism, from ferry schedules to accommodation. You could tell she genuinely cared about everyone having the best time possible. Thanks to Vanezza, the trip was not just a holiday, but a true adventure filled with unforgettable memories. If you’re lucky enough to have her as your leader, you’re in for something special. 10/10 – would book again just to travel with her!

    Vanezza was absolutely incredible for the whole tour! She was always fun, entertaining, informative and made the effort to ensure that everyone was included throughout the 17 days! Whilst Vanezza was a bundle of joy, she was also really kind and approachable - any questions or issues I was having, I knew I could go to her about it and she would treat it with empathy and professionalism. I feel like Vanezza really emulates the spirit of the trutravels tours and you are very lucky to have her as a guide for the Philippines destination! All my expectations were definitely surpassed and I went from being slightly nervous about solo travelling to feeling so welcomed and part of a family! I would jump at the chance of doing another tour if Vanezza was the guide as I enjoyed every minute!!

She is such a happy, funny, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable person - always a friend to everyone, always there to help you in anyway she could. She is an amazing, incredible woman, and I hope I get the honour of seeing her again in the future! Thankyou so so much Vanezza!!!

    I have done a few tru travels tours now but this 17 day island tour would have to be my favourite. The itinerary is very well planned and I felt we had the perfect amount of time in each location. The tour even includes a few location which I never would have considered if I was planning this trip solo but were amazing to see. The activities are very varied and were a great way to get the most out of each location. Vanessa was an outstanding guide and was able to answer most of our questions and accommodate any needs we had. She felt like a mum for the trip which was so lovely when being far from home. Most of the restaurants were very well selected and had lots of great options and catered for our dietary requirements.

    I honestly had the most incredible experience on my TruTravels tour in the Philippines! From the moment the trip started, everything was super well-organized, and the itinerary was the perfect mix of adventure, culture, and time to relax. There were so many highlights, from island hopping through unbelievably clear waters, snorkelling with amazing marine life, canyoneering in Moalboal, to visiting a dog sanctuary and experiencing stunning sunsets on the beach! It really had such a great variety of activities! One of the best parts of the whole trip was the people, including our amazing guide, Vanezza. She brought such good energy to the group, always keeping the vibe fun and positive, while also being super knowledgeable and on top of everything behind the scenes. You could tell she genuinely cared about making sure everyone was having a good time. Whether it was helping us plan our free time, sharing local tips, or just being a great laugh, she made a huge difference to the whole experience. I honestly can’t imagine the trip without her! I finished the trip with amazing memories, new friends, and a serious love for the Philippines. Massive thanks again to the team, and especially to Vanezza for making it so special!

    Vanezza was a great tour guide and you can tell from day 1 she is so passionate about what she does! She was super socialable, approachable and warm. I really appreciated having her as a guide. You can really tell she wants the best for the group and us all to be having the time of our lives. She had great knowledge on local areas, culture and food which enhanced our experiences. I really don’t believe I would have had as good of a trip if I had to organise it all myself, the convenience of a local guide was much appreciated.

    Vanezza was the most amazing tour guide, she said from the start she would treat us as her children and she did exactly that while still being like a best friend. I always felt like I was safe and included in the fun. I couldn’t have asked for better and everything was always so well organised so there wasn’t any waiting around.

    Vanezza was INCREDIBLE!!! Absolutely couldn’t fault her, she made our whole trip so efficient and effortless, and most importantly enjoyable! I booked my trip to enjoy some travelling whilst switching off, compared to the usual solo travelling and I really trusted her with everything. Not just an amazing tour guide, but an incredible friend, nothing was ever too much for her to handle and she offered so much support for my further travels of the Philippines after the tour. Vanezza absolutely 100% made our experience the best! Thank you!!!

    Orty was the BEST tour guide I could’ve asked for. He was so attentive and caring towards everyone and was always making sure everyone was enjoying themselves and having fun even on long travel days! I love how passionate he is about doing this and looking after his people and letting us know the history behind it all. Orty wasn’t just our tour guide he was our friend and I’m so lucky to have met him.

    Orty made the trip absolutely unforgettable. From the very beginning, he created an atmosphere that was warm, inclusive, and full of energy. He made every person in the group feel welcomed, valued, and like a friend-not just a traveler. His knowledge of the islands, culture, and hidden gems brought each destination to life, and his enthusiasm was contagious. Whether it was organizing seamless transfers, recommending local food spots, or just sharing stories and laughs along the way, he went above and beyond every single day. By the end of the trip, it didn't just feel like we had an amazing guide—it felt like we gained a true friend. I couldn't have asked for a better leader for this journey, and I'll always be grateful for how he brought our group together and made the Philippines feel like home.

Can we do this tour as a private group with just us? What is the cost and accommodation? We would like to do it in mid December if possible.
