I absolutely loved this tour. It far exceeded my expectations. Going into the tour I was worried about the accommodation but once I got there it was alot better than expected. Everywhere we visited on the tour was absolutley stunning ! Our tour leader Mel was amazing nothing was a problem for her she was always very accommodating and ensured we had the best time. The food was delicious everywhere we went. I would definitely reccomend this tour to anyone wanting to go to the phillipines.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this tour as I usually travel on my own but because I was on a time restraint I decided to book the tour and it was the best decision I made. James was awesome and so was our group and we made memories that will last forever! Can't recommend it highly enough!
