What people love about Philippines Tours in October
- East Philippines Classic 10 Day - One Life Adventures
After doing the one life west tour of the Philippines last September and having the time of my life i knew as soon as this tour was mentioned to me by Rachael who i formed a special relationship with last time i had to do it. I didn't even need to look at the itinerary i was that confident it would rival the west tour and was proved right. Every day was incredible especially the day you wake up for osmena peak then head to a waterfall and the optional extra of canyoneering which i’d strongly recommend! The group of people i met were incredible and you feel like a family very quickly, i was also lucky enough to meet amber who works for onelife, also has the energy of a little whirlwind. if you’re looking at this review to make up your mind all i can say is get it booked. Just trust me and thank me later.
- West Philippines Classic 10 Day - One Life Adventures
I have been on about 8 guided tours whilst backpacking and One Life was AMAZINGGGG and by far the best!!! The itinerary was so well planned, my friend and I literally didn't have to organise anything as they had thought of it all and more! The transport was really comfortable, we had such a laugh and all if the journeys went really quickly. Our tour guide Jo was the BEST, we were devastated to say goodbye 100% see you next year!!! :-)
- Philippines East
Had such an amazing time on the West tour - made so by our guide Chris. Highlights definitely have to be the island hopping days and the Island experience. Lowlights would only include breaking my phone 3 days in (although Chris did do his best to help me sort). I met some amazing people who I can't wait to hang out with back in the UK, only regret is not extending onto the 19 day trip. Chris was a great tour guide and very helpful if we had any questions or problems on the trip. He made sure our transport connections ran smoothly and were stress free - which makes a big difference from travelling on your own or in a non organized trip. He had a really good relationship with the lovely people who ran the hotels we stayed in so they were super accommodating which was lovely. We all had loads of fun hanging out with Chris and I'm sure he'll make anyone's trip fun! Overall such a fun experience and id definitely love to do another one. Will also be returning to the Philippines to see more!
