About me:“Being a tour guide is not just a job for me—it’s my passion. I feel so happy and grateful every time I get to show you the beauty of my country, the Philippines, a place I am deeply proud of.
More than just your guide, I love being there for you in every way I can—your friend, your sister, your helper, sometimes even your “mom,” “nurse,” or “doctor” when needed 😄—making sure you feel safe, cared for, and at home while exploring.
Thank you for trusting me to be part of your journey. I can’t wait to welcome more of you and create unforgettable memories together.

The beach camp in Port Barton was a highlight, and the island hopping days were unreal. Dian was always around if needed, but also gave us the freedom to do our own thing with solid recommendations.
Overall, really good experience with her leading it.

She becomes your sister, your mum, and your best friend all in one. She truly goes above and beyond, constantly hustling to make sure everyone has the best possible experience.
She radiates pure sunshine and has the most beautiful, positive energy that lifts the whole group. Whether she’s singing, dancing, or just bringing the vibes, she makes every moment fun and unforgettable. She not once but twice made us her special spring roles (she has a secret recipe) and they were delicious!
Travelling with Dian in the Philippines was easily one of my top travel highlights. She’s an incredible person, and if you get her as your guide, you’re guaranteed an amazing time.

She organised and clearly explained the plan for each day so everything ran smoothly and no one ever felt confused, pressured or left out.
She goes above and beyond with great recommendations for food/activities and taught us so much about places we visited.
As someone with a gluten allergy, Diana was incredible with making sure I was safe when eating throughout the trip.
Diana is a truly incredible human being, friend, and tour guide. TopDeck is lucky to have such a wonderful member of their team and I cannot recommend her enough to future explorers like me in the Philippines.
Maraming salamat po ate Dian!

She is one of the kindest, most genuine people I’ve ever met, nothing was ever too much trouble. Whether it was helping organise activities, answering endless questions, or just checking in to make sure everyone was okay, she did it all with such warmth and care.
Her knowledge as a local was incredible. She didn’t just show us the standard tourist spots—she gave us real insight into the culture, the best places to eat, hidden gems, and how to make the most of our free time. Because of her, we experienced so much more than we ever would have on our own.
What truly stood out to me was her generosity and compassion. She consistently went out of her way to support everyone in the group, always putting others first and ensuring that no one missed out on experiences. That level of kindness and selflessness is something you don’t come across often, and it made such a difference to the entire trip.
She is such a loving, caring, and genuine person, and she created such a positive, fun, and supportive atmosphere for the whole group. Our trip simply wouldn’t have been the same without her.
Topdeck is incredibly lucky to have he she is an absolute asset, and I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat.

From the very first moment, she made every experience feel special, offering thoughtful, individualised care and attention to each and every person on the tour. I genuinely cannot fault her in any way. Diane went far beyond the role of a tour guide - she generously shared recommendations, advice, and support well beyond the organised activities, and cared for us all as though we were her own family. Her warmth, kindness, energy, and sense of fun were constant and infectious. Quite simply, this trip would not have been the extraordinary experience it was without Diane. She is truly one of a kind.

Dian went above and beyond to ensure our group had the best experience and got the most out of our time in the Philippines. She was flexible with adjusting the additional activities to cater to our groups preferences, was able to solve problems flawlessly and quickly, and made great decisions that benefit the entire group. Dian let us leave earlier in the morning for our island hopping adventures to ensure we were there before the big groups arrived which made an huge different for our group. She was always taking the best photos of us for our memories, and took care of us when we had some small injuries or illnesses. She immersed our group in the Filipino culture as much as she possibly could which our group loved! Dian truly went above and beyond for us, and after spending 10 days with her I felt like I was part of her family. Any group that gets Dian as their tour guide is extremely lucky. LOVE YOU DIAN

From the very beginning, her warmth, friendliness, and genuine enthusiasm made everyone feel instantly welcome and excited for what was ahead. She has a natural way of bringing people together and creating a relaxed, fun atmosphere.
Her passion for the Philippines truly shines through. Whether she was guiding us through crystal-clear waters while snorkelling, pointing out marine life, or sharing stories and local insights under the stars during our stargazing nights, Dian made every moment feel special and meaningful. You could tell she genuinely loves her country and wanted us to experience the very best of it. Also to share her personal recipe on the camping night. Something I can take away and share with my loved ones.
Dian was also incredibly organised and attentive, always making sure we felt safe, comfortable, and supported, both in the water and on land. She balanced professionalism with fun perfectly, keeping the group laughing while also ensuring everything ran smoothly. Her positive energy, sense of humour, and genuine care for the group made the experience even more memorable.
By the end of the trip, our group felt more like a family, and that’s a true reflection of Dian’s leadership. She’s knowledgeable, supportive, and deeply invested in creating unforgettable experiences for everyone she guides. I would highly recommend Dian to anyone doing a Topdeck tour in the Philippines, your snorkelling, stargazing, and overall experience will be so much richer with her leading the way.

From the moment we met her, she brought such warmth, friendliness, and genuine enthusiasm that it instantly set the tone for an incredible experience. She’s not just a guide; she’s the kind of leader who elevates a trip into something deeply special.
Her passion for her country shines through in everything she does. Whether she was sharing local history, explaining cultural traditions, or introducing us to hidden gems we never would’ve found on our own, you could feel how much she loves the Philippines. That energy was contagious, and it made every stop along the way feel even more meaningful.
Dian also made sure we always felt safe and comfortable, no matter the situation. She was attentive, organized, and constantly looking out for everyone in the group. At the same time, she kept the mood fun and lively. Her sense of humor, positive attitude, and ability to bring people together added so much joy to the experience.
As a group leader, she was everything you could hope for: knowledgeable, supportive, energetic, and genuinely invested in making sure each of us had the best trip possible. Because of her, our group felt like a family by the end.
I would highly recommend Dian to anyone thinking about exploring the Philippines. She’s an incredible guide and an even better person, and your trip will be so much richer with her leading the way.

From the moment we arrived, the beauty of the islands, the warmth of the locals, and the rich culture enveloped us.
Our journey took us through stunning landscapes, pristine beaches, and vibrant cities. Each destination offered something unique, whether it was swimming in crystal-clear waters, exploring lush jungles, or enjoying delicious local cuisine. The breathtaking sunsets were simply unforgettable!
A highlight of our trip was undoubtedly our guide, Dian. Her knowledge of the history and culture of the Philippines enriched our experience immensely.

Thanks to her extensive knowledge of art, culture, tradition and insider tips for the individual islands, we had a varied trip with the perfect mix of action, partying and relaxation.

I can’t recommend Diana enough! From the moment our adventure began, She went above and beyond to make our trip through the Philippines truly unforgettable. Her deep knowledge of the islands, culture, and hidden gems made every day feel like a new discovery.
Whether we were island hopping in Port Barton, exploring the beaches of El Nido or diving into the vibrant food the Philippines has to offer, Diane brought everything to life with passion, professionalism, and a great sense of humor. They were also incredibly thoughtful—always checking in on the group’s needs, adjusting plans when needed, and making sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time.
This wasn’t just a tour, it felt like traveling with a local friend who truly loves and respects their country. If you're planning to visit the Philippines, don’t hesitate—book with Diana! You won’t regret it.

Dian was a fantastic guide- she as friendly, helpful and most importantly she made me feel safe. I can’t swim so when I told her that she made sure I did not miss out on anything. She also took extra precaution to ensure I was included! She made the whole experience so much better.

However, there is room for improvement regarding the announcements in the daily schedule. I would have appreciated it if the daily agenda, meeting points, and times had been communicated in the WhatsApp group created for this purpose. Often, these updates came only intermittently and not to everyone. Many times, they were very last-minute (e.g., just 2 minutes in advance), making it difficult to manage my time. Even when I asked for clarification, there were sometimes no precise answers. This stressed me out because I never knew how much time I had left for each location. I also occasionally felt that there was not enough attention to whether all participants were present before we moved on, which made me feel a bit insecure.
On the other hand, the selection of restaurants was really good and varied. Our tour guide, Dian, was very kind and always took photos of us when we wanted, and checked to ensure everything was fine during meals. I was also surprised with cake and decorations for my birthday.

I selected this tour because it was one of the only options I could find that included snorkelling with whale sharks, as well as, the sardine run - both of which were highlights for me! The island hopping excursions also featured some of the best snorkelling experiences I’ve had, with the opportunity to see coral reef and turtles. The tour winds down with a few beach days in El Nido so I would recommend traveling to another island rather than extending your stay here after the tour. Tour itinerary aside, our guide Dian was outstanding. She did an incredible job of being both personable, as well as, professional. She was great at setting our expectations on accommodations/activities and updating us on our daily itinerary. This was my first time doing a tour with a local guide and I appreciated that she was able to provide her own personal knowledge and insights - she also makes incredible spring rolls! Thank you Dian for making this a memorable vacation and for helping me on the second last night in El Nido! (You didn’t have to and I appreciate you so so much for being there for me!). Anyone is lucky to have Dian as their guide (wanderlands please give her a raise!)

Every activity that was included was fun and different to the previous one. The locations that were chosen were also excellent with port Barton being an absolute hidden gem. The tour guide Dian was amazing helping everyone with things from translating to helping organise activities that weren’t included in the package, organising dinner venues every night and even helping barter for a better deal at some shops. I don’t think we could’ve have asked her to do any more then she did.
Highlights - seeing the whale sharks (obviously) and the 3 nights in port barton.
Lowlights - hard to find any but the accommodation in moalboal wasn’t amazing (not that we spent much time in the room) and long trips in the car (worth the journeys, but some were very long).
Thanks again Dian and wanderlands for an amazing experience and I can’t wait to come back to the Phillipines because of this.

One of the best holidays I’ve ever been on (maybe the best). It was so easy and exciting, Dian made sure we got where we needed to be with ease, even when plans changed or things didn’t go as expected. She recommended things to do in our spare time and organised the activities for us with the best guides - it was perfect. The itinerary was brilliant, I particularly loved the island hopping in Port Barton, Canyoning in Cebu and snorkelling in Port Barton with the sardine run. For improvements I would recommend shorter beach days when it’s 40 degrees, we spent 6 hours at the beach on our second last day but it was really hot being outside for so long. My other suggestion is communicating a bit better regarding when we will be eating that day. A few times there was miscommunication about when we will be eating and so we missed lunch and then were pretty hungry by the afternoon. Besides that, I loved it and cannot fault it. Thank you for the memories and incredible holiday!
