    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.

    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)

    This was the most amazing trip ever. I was travelling as a solo female and this was my first stop on my first trip. The philippines in its self is beautiful, but i feel like this tour gave us the best experiences you can get! Our tour guide was also amazing (Andri Agassi), and made everyone feel welcomed and safe the whole trip. Would absolutely recommend this to anyone wanting to explore the Philippines and its beautiful waterfall, nightlife and adventures!

    Me and my friend went on this trip, and it was amazing. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Andri made the trip unforgettable. Everything was organized and well prepared. After this experience I would definitely go on another intro trip.

    The whole adventure was organised so so well. It was so amazing not having to think about anything thanks to Alex and Sherry. Alex brought the group together and is an absolute joy to have as a leader. He is so calm, kind and easy to get along with! He always put the groups safety first and made a special effort always to ensure we were all looked after and content. Sherry is another joy, she has an amazing way about her and her constant good mood is a joy to be around. Both leaders just gave constant positivity and they made my time in the Philippines even more amazing.

    The Intro Philippines tour was one of the best trips I've done! It was adventurous, packed with plenty of water activites, and as a solo traveller it was a great way to meet people. We had Andri as our tour leader - even before the tour started he was welcoming and helpful - he gave great suggestions for activities in Manila as I arrived early. During the tour he was always approachable, knowledgeable, fun and engaging. The tour flowed so smoothly, making for a stress free holiday as we weren't worried about logistics - just left to enjoy an adventure-packed holiday. The best part by far was the 3 day, 2 night boat expedition from Coron to El Nido, where we spent our days relaxing amongst the most beautiful islands, snorkelling, sleeping in island huts and playing volleyball with locals. I couldn't fault Andri as our group leader, and highly recommend both him and the Intro Philippines tour.

    I have just finished my Philippines Intro Tour with Andri and can honestly say it was an experience of a lifetime. Not only did we have two weeks in blissful paradise meeting 14 new worldwide best friends, dining on incredible food and having the best hospitality known to man by locals but also Andri as a leader was beyond incredible; the perfect balance between fun and cool, calm and collected. He was able to make the process so smooth and accommodating, not a single one of us ever had anything to worry about. I want to put a special mention in for his attitude and kindness. As a group we bonded extremely well, so much love and respect between everyone, and Andri was a core part of that; be it lending out his incredible fins, entertaining us with his singing, making sure safety was priority on nights out, being the loveliest with locals allowing us to get to know them on a deeper level or getting a personal best in free diving (17.5m what?!?) and us thinking I would need to take over because he was never returning from the darkness. This man smashed it. I have had the pleasure of doing three previous tours: Bali, Thailand and Vietnam and each tour has built its own reputation to assume the next will never be as good. This one.. was as good if not better in its own right. From canyoneering to white sand beach snorkelling, sunsets with Andri on guitar to scuba’ing shipwrecks, waterfall photo shoots to swimming with turtles ? every moment was magical. Would 1000% recommend to anybody thinking of going. It was that good, I’ve contemplated not only returning but becoming a leader myself. Lauren, London UK
