Tip Orty
Did you have a good experience on your trip with your guide? If you'd like, you can give them a tip as a way to express your gratitude.
This has truly been a wonderful experience. I’ve done tours all over the world, and this one unquestionably tops the list. A huge part of that is thanks to my guide, Orty. He’s sweet, hilarious, and a…This has truly been a wonderful experience. I’ve done tours all over the world, and this one unquestionably tops the list. A huge part of that is thanks to my guide, Orty. He’s sweet, hilarious, and a natural people person—perfectly suited for this job—and he consistently goes above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly and stress-free. He genuinely cares about the group and wants everyone to have an amazing time, and it truly shows. 🌞
Then there’s the sheer beauty of the islands themselves—widely regarded as some of the most beautiful in the world. I’ve attached a few photos, but even they don’t fully capture how breathtaking it is in person.
And finally, the people. The Filipino people are, without question, some of the warmest, kindest, and most welcoming people I’ve ever met. So many locals struck up friendly conversations and wished me well on my journey with no ulterior motive—just pure kindness.
All in all, this has been one of the most pleasant and memorable experiences of my life. The castaway night, where we stayed in huts on a private island, was especially unforgettable. Sitting by a bonfire while a guitarist played songs requested by the group, waves crashing in the background, then waking up to a glowing sunrise—it felt spiritual and is something I still smile about whenever I think of it. I also captured some of the best photos I’ve ever taken. 🌞
I can’t recommend this tour highly enough. And if you’re lucky enough to have Orty as your guide, you’re guaranteed one of the best experiences of your life.
Lastly, I want to touch on age. I’m 51 years old, and I was a little skeptical about doing this tour after seeing the age recommendations and photos of much younger travelers. I was even asked at the welcome dinner if I felt uncomfortable being the only older person in the group—and honestly, I did for the first day. But it didn’t take long for us to grow comfortable with one another, and eventually, genuinely fond of each other. I feel young for my age, still full of energy and passion for life, and this experience completely reaffirmed that. If you’re on the fence because of age—don’t be if you're fun and can just go with the flow. 🌞

From the very first moment, he showed a rare kind of care—making sure every single person felt seen, supported, and never left behind. His kindness and attentiveness gave us the comfort to let go and fully embrace the adventure, knowing we were in the best hands possible.
What makes Orty so special is that he isn’t just great at his job—he is one of the greatest, and there is simply no one else like him. His warmth, humor, and energy lit up every day, turning ordinary moments into unforgettable memories. He created an atmosphere where strangers became friends, and his patience, attention to detail, and ability to anticipate exactly what would make the journey smoother or more exciting set him apart in a way that’s hard to put into words.
Thanks to Orty, this trip wasn’t just about seeing the Philippines—it was about truly experiencing it, with joy, connection, and a sense of belonging that only someone of his caliber could create.

Had a pleasure doing a trutravels trip with Orty, best time, best food and best location. I’d definitely recommend this tour to someone who’s planning to come to the Philippines.

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.

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!

I enjoyed the snorkel sessions and the other activities planned by Orty. As someone local to the Philippines he had great recommendations for everything including local food spots. It was very clear that he really cares about the local people and businesses too which was nice to see and also support. The timings for the trip also worked well and did not feel too rushed. One thing I would perhaps have liked to see a little more of is the local history and perhaps have a tour around one of the towns we visited.

Orty was the most amazing and most helpful person I could have asked for on this tour. Despite having unpredictable weather conditions thrown our way which affected our itinerary. Orty was very resilient and patient during these times and did everything he could to replace the activities. I highly recommend Orty to anyone who is planning to do a group tour as he made my time very comfortable and easy going as this was my first ever group trip. Not only was Orty professional and helpful but also like a best friend who you could trust. The overall itinerary of the tour was excellent and I would reccomend this tour to anyone who is planning to get the most out of their Philippines trip.

He was fun, informative, and genuinely engaging from start to finish. He always brought great energy to the group and did everything he could to lift everyone up and keep the environment positive. You could really feel how passionate he is about sharing the Philippines with others.
He explained the history and culture of the Philippines in an engaging way which made every stop so much more meaningful. Because of Orty, this trip became so memorable and special. I can’t imagine experiencing the Philippines without his guidance. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for an incredible tour experience!

He was also lively and organized unique experiences for us like his photo challenge which encouraged us to be in smaller groups that allowed us to get closer with people in our group and explore the island while also talking to and supporting locals and local businesses. the photo challenge was one of the highlights of my trip so far. He also took the time to get great professional photos for people during activities and excursions as well as of the group which are great mementos to have and to post.

What stood out the most was his kindness and flexibility – always patient, always upbeat, and always ready to tailor the experience to our interests. We never felt rushed, and his attention to detail made us feel like VIPs the entire time.
He is a credit to the industry and would 100% consider returning to the Philippines on a tour with him in the future!!

He goes so far above and beyond what you’d expect of a tour guide, making videos with us, taking us to exclusive places and bringing everyone together. It’s extremely rare that you can call a tour guide a genuine friend but Orty very much is that and I cannot wait to see him again. He made The Philippines one of the best experiences of my life and it wouldn’t have been the same without him.

The itinerary itself was well thought out and allowed us to see a great number of locations in a relatively short amount of time. Furthermore, the activities and experiences offered in each location gave great depth and variety ensuring everyone, no matter their interests, had an excellent experience. In particular, the island hopping boat tours we did in Port Barton and El Nido were spectacular thanks to both the beautiful scenery and wildlife we encountered and the crews that accompanied us who were excellently selected by Orty and the Tru Travels team.
The accommodation on the whole was great and Orty always ensured there were laundry facilities and water stations in order for us to have a comfortable stay. Furthermore, the location of the accommodations was great. We were always either walking distance or a short tuk tuk away from the best beaches, restaurants and shops that the town had to offer which elevated our experience, especially when we had some free time.
However, what ultimately made my experience was undoubtedly our tour guide Orty. I have never met someone who struck the balance between being a working professional and your friend as well as Orty did. In a country that often posed unexpected challenges, Orty was always there to use his expertise to overcome any slight issue and ensure that we remained completely unaffected. He made us feel completely safe and secure, always at the end of the phone if we ever needed him, day or night and his extensive recommendations were always reliable, allowing us to enjoy each location to the max without any worry or effort on our behalf. He even used his various contacts and friends throughout the island to give us exclusive experiences which made us feel so special and lucky. In particular, what made Orty stand out for me was his undeniable passion for his work and his country. His knowledge of both the nation’s history and its communities gave us a depth to our trip we could not have wished for nor afforded on our own. He even shared his recommendations and various contacts for the rest of the Philippines for those, like myself, who were doing onward travel which made me feel so much more confident about travelling on my own. Furthermore, his passion and care for the people in the towns we visited elevated the trip from a holiday to an all encompassing, educational experience and has certainly impacted how I intend to travel in the future. He was inspired me to be more considerate and sustainable and to always incorporate local experiences.
Orty’s warmth and character made a group of strangers feel immediately at home with one another and his wit had us laughing for hours. He was always up for joining us in the evening, often leading the party himself and was always incredibly engaging and friendly to everyone. He simply is the best and I cannot thank him enough for the experience he has given me nor recommend him more to anyone wishing to travel the Philippines.
Thank you Orty for all that you do, we love you!

My Tour around Indonesia with Monk and Orty was amazing. The trip was full of a variety of activities suited for everyone, such as cooking classes, visiting rice fields, snorkelling and more! Monk was an amazing leader of the trip and brought great energy, which was mirrored amazingly from Orty who was representing the marketing department. The footage, photos, memories, vibes and activities were amazing and I wish I could do it all again.

Orty was such a pleasure to be with throughout and made the whole experience a really fun and comfortable one (being my first time that far away from home and in a very different culture). Orty was so prepared and always informed us before any activity and on the lead up to the trip, I genuinely couldn't give any improvements. An experience I will never forget, and will definitely be recommending group tours, particularly trutravels, to anyone interested in travelling. I'd love to do another tour again in the near future!

We couldn’t have got a better tour guide! Orty got everyone involved and made sure everyone was having a nice time. He was so organised and everything went so smoothly. So glad we met Orty and I wouldn't have changed anything! We had the best time ever! My favourite experience was meeting the kids on the island and giving them learning materials etc. Orty is so passionate about what he does and he really is amazing at his job.

He went well above and beyond to ensure everyone felt safe and was included, and even helped book a shuttle to the airport at the end of the trip for everyone on the tour. Incredible human and well deserving of trip leader of the year award!

From the moment we started our adventure, it was clear that Orty was not just any tour guide – he’s genuinely passionate about his work, and it shows in every aspect of how he leads the tour.
We had an incredible time canyoning, snorkeling, and discovering the local wonders. Orty was patient, attentive, and incredibly gentle, always ensuring that we were comfortable and truly enjoying ourselves. Whether we were scaling a canyon or admiring the marine life, he was always nearby, checking in to make sure we were safe and having the best time possible.
It’s rare to find someone who brings so much warmth and enthusiasm to their job. Orty truly went above and beyond, showing us not just the sights but the heart of the Philippines through his dedication. If you’re considering a tour in the Philippines, I can’t recommend Orty enough – he’s the kind of guide who turns a trip into an unforgettable experience. Thank you, Orty, for making our journey so special!

Philippines is a stunning country, Orty was the best tour guide I could have imagine, and the group melted different kind of people, we had a great time together and these memories will stay in my mind forever. So far the most beautiful trip I’ve ever done. TruTravels and Orty want to show you what Philippines really is, so you get the opportunity to meet locals which was in my opinion the best part of it. Thank you so much Orty you’re a treasure, have in heart doing what’s best for your home and those who wants to discover it !

Not only did Orty have so much information about each place he went above and beyond to ensure each person's needs were met. I was blown away with how well organised the trip was. It was myself and my partners first time travelling and we felt so safe and relaxed. Ortys personality alone made the whole trip, I have never met a person who was more destined to be a tour guide. Alvin worked really well alongside Orty and always kept a smile on our faces. They are a credit to there country and I will be recommending all my friends for there tours.

The organisation, attentiveness and knowledge of Orty was A+. He was informative and detail oriented and moved seamlessly through the itinerary. He was always available to answer questions about activities or provide answer to general questions about the locations. If he didn’t know he would make sure to get back to you about later in the day, often when I’d forgotten I’d even asked. Alvin was also an excellent guide, working well with Orty and the dynamic between the two was amazing. They are both a credit to TruTravels and this wonderful country they represent. I’ll never forget my 10 days in the Philippines with TruTravels, Orty and Alvin. Truly some of most fun I’ve ever experienced. Thank you so so much.

The connections that were made, and the memories created will forever be with me. To say that this trip was anything other than out of this world would be an understatement. I never thought I would do a group trip with strangers, let alone connect with them so well. This trip has brought me not just the memories, but created life long friendships. Orty was absolutely nothing but the best, and i wish i could write a book on how amazing and fun he was, professional, and knowledgeable. He deserves every type of recognition for being such a great guide. Thank you for everything. I will be forever grateful for this, and cannot wait to book with him again!
