What people love about Philippines Tours in January
- West Philippines Classic 10 Day - One Life Adventures
Loved the tour! Tour guide Hugo really well organised from the first to the last day, he was always upbeat, funny and helped everyone out. The people have all been cool and easy to get along with, and the activities have been great, in particular Island hopping and the booze cruise. Highly recommend for anyone who is coming to the Philippines!
- 10 Days Philippine Tour
While no tour is perfect, this was very good. Excellent itinerary and ticked all the boxes on what we wanted to see and do. Jin from the agency was in constant contact keeping us updated on pickup times and scheduling. If you are looking for 5 star hotels, this is not your tour. The hotels however were clean and very adequate, in good locations. Considering this tour included 4 domestic flights, excursions and hotels, it was an excellent deal and worth the money. They exceeded my expectations.
- Philippines Island Hopper
TrueTravels rocked this island tour. Chris, our guide, made the trip even better with his humor and knowledge of the region. If you are looking to experience the Philippines you need to take this tour.
