    Orty is one of the best tour guides I have ever had. Really knowledgeable and wise, also good bit of eye candy ;) Always helpful and kind. Very good at dancing and singing, has multiple skills. Needs a promotion and a pay rise.

    Orty was genuinely the best tour guide I have ever had. I have joined multiple group trips before and he stands out above all of them. His local knowledge is unbelievable. He knows the history of every place we visited and he even gave us town tours that were not part of the itinerary because he wanted us to experience more. All the optional activities we did ended up discounted thanks to his charm and his connections. He also brought us to amazing mixed restaurants, always making sure we had both Western favorites and authentic Filipino dishes on the table. The way he handles tours is so professional, yet he still became my bestie on the trip. He is incredibly organized. Even on boat days, he sorted everything out, including the drinks. All we had to do was show up and he would hand us our beers. He goes above and beyond without even being asked. I love you Orty. You deserve everything coming your way and I am rooting for you to win this award with all my heart.

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 — A One-of-a-Kind Tour Guide! Orty is truly one of a kind. From the moment you first connect with him, he’s incredibly friendly, approachable, and genuinely helpful. His passion for tour guiding really shows — he takes such great care of everyone, always making sure we’re safe, comfortable, and having the best time. What makes the experience even more special is his talent for capturing moments. The videos he creates are surreal and full of emotion, making the whole trip feel even more unforgettable. His communication skills are also outstanding — he speaks so fluently that you’d think he was born and raised in an English-speaking country! I had the absolute best time with him. Thank you for everything, Orty — love you!

    It was soo much fun with stuff to do every single day which I enjoyed. Even in our free time Jay recommended things for us to do and restaurants to eat for lunch etc so we were never bored. When I booked it I didn’t realise it was a combo tour, if I knew I would’ve booked the longer 24 days one instead of 17 to make the most of it!

    The combo was great! Although the weird connexion between Coron to Cebu and then back to Boracay when there are Coron to Boracay flights available felt a little weird, everything else was great!

    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!

    Virginia

    Asked on November 11th, 2025

    I was considering booking this tour from 12/1-12/17 and I'm not quite sure how I feel about experiencing something like this completely by myself. When I came to the confirmation page, it stated there are 10+ spots left for these dates. Are you able to tell me about how many people might be in this group for these dates?

    Group size
    Tour Details
    • TruTravelsOperatorWritten November 2025

      There is currently six other guests booked on. Although we suspect this will increase as we tend to get a fair few last minute bookings.

      TravelerWritten November 2025

      I'm sure it will be fine, but a flight coming into Manila the morning of 12/1 around 9am will be ok right? Assuming little to no delays.

    • TruTravelsOperatorWritten November 2025

      That will be fine. The main activities on the first day of the trip involve around a group dinner in the evening and an opportunity to really get to know each other. They'll also be a chance to explore the town in the evening. Other travellers will all arrive at various times throughout the day and since you'll all be in a Whatsapp group together, people tend to start meeting up during the day before the main events with the Tour Leader begin later on in the afternoon / evening.

      I will probably be the oldest person in the group at 38 y/o haha.

    • TruTravelsOperatorWritten November 2025

      Our itineraries are designed for people up until the age of 45. We do get a lot of customers in their 30s book on, sometimes in their 40s too.

    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • TruTravelsOperatorWritten October 2025

      Generally there will not be an opportunity to scuba dive as the activities take up most of your day, however I will speak with our on the ground operations team and let you know asap. Yes, all the activities are included in the price.

  • H

    Holly

    Asked on October 10th, 2025

    Can I attend this tour over 50 years old? Please let me know.

    Age Range
    • TruTravelsOperatorWritten October 2025

      Unfortunately, we are unable to book those over the age of 45 onto our tours, due to our Upper Age Limit in place. This age restriction has been introduced based on: the nature of our tours themselves, the average age of those that typically book on, and the previous feedback that we have received. On average, the age of those that book on are between 18 - 35 years old. The tours are also of a more backpacker, basic style, which is most attractive solo travellers between the ages mentioned above.

  • M

    Morgan

    Asked on September 12th, 2025

    Can you tell me if there is still 2 spots left on this date? Can you also tell me the average age of the people who already signed up?

    Age Range
    Group size
    • TruTravelsOperatorWritten September 2025

      We have 3 spots left so you would need to be quick if you did want to book on. The age range is 19-41 with the majority of the group in their 20's

      Do you have tours of the Philippines with more hiking? How much hiking is in this itinerary?

    • TruTravelsOperatorWritten September 2025

      We are unable to accommodate requests for travelers over 45 years old. We have an upper age limit due to past customer feedback and to keep travelers a similar age for a consistent group experience. As an alternative, I recommend G-Adventures, which offers trips with no age restrictions.
