What people love about Philippines Tours for Seniors
- Best of Palawan & Manila - 8 days
The tour was awesome. Problems with On The Go's customer service... I booked a tour in the Philippines with On The Go Tours and, honestly, I cannot give them a positive review. I’m not someone who typically writes negative reviews—everyone can have an off day. However, in this case, the company consistently failed to meet even basic customer service expectations and did very little to justify the commission they likely charged local tour operators for acting as an agent. Communication from their team was nearly non-existent and often incomplete. I booked two back-to-back Philippine tours as a solo traveler, which immediately became the first challenge they seemed unable to handle. Pricing changes were misquoted and inaccurate until just a few days before my departure. While they did attempt to make amends by reducing the overall cost by 20%, the situation ultimately forced me to cancel the second tour due to the high cost of traveling solo. They provided little to no response to questions I asked regarding itineraries, plans, and included services, repeatedly stating that the local tour provider in the Philippines would handle those details. This is where the communication breakdown became most severe. Having spent most of my career in customer service, I firmly believe that an agent is responsible for clear, accurate, and timely communication. That is the bare minimum required to earn a share of commission—and On The Go Tours fell well short of that standard. After discussing these issues directly with the local tour operators, they explained that they rely on On The Go Tours to properly inform and prepare guests before any handoff to on-site guides. On The Go Tours should have provided itineraries, schedules, tickets, and vouchers prior to departure. This did not happen. In fact, I did not receive a ticket for the air-travel portion of the tour until after I had already arrived at the airport to depart. Once the tour itself began, it became clear that the local providers did everything possible to deliver an excellent experience. Every guide was outstanding, every tour was beautiful and well executed, and each hotel exceeded my expectations for local accommodations. A heartfelt thank you and congratulations to Annset Holiday, Inc.—they were exceptional in every way. They answered all my questions, communicated promptly, and arranged truly excellent tours and guides. If you’re planning a trip to the Philippines, I highly recommend booking directly with Annset Holiday, Inc. As for On The Go Tours, I would strongly advise against using them for a Philippine trip. Their customer service simply does not measure up—even to a very low bar.

Excellent tour and Ellise our guide was simply outstanding.

My wife and I had to cancel the trip due to my getting pneumonia. We told the trip leader and my wife filled out the forms. We are unable to get a refund from the trip insurance company.
What our customers ask about Philippines Tours for Seniors
What are the best destinations in Philippines for senior travelers?
The Philippines offers several destinations well-suited to older travelers who prefer a mix of comfort and exploration. Manila provides easy access to historical sites and museums with level walkways. Bohol draws nature enthusiasts with comfortable viewing platforms at the Chocolate Hills and gentle river cruises along the Loboc River. El Nido welcomes visitors with beachfront resorts and optional water activities. Many accommodations cater to senior guests such as South Palms Resort in Bohol with its accessible design and Lagen Island Resort in El Nido which offers ground-floor rooms. A TourRadar reviewer mentioned: "The combination of culture in Manila and relaxation in Bohol was perfect for our age group."
When is the ideal time to visit the Philippines for seniors?
The most comfortable time to explore the Philippines runs from December to February especially in North Luzon. Baguio sees temperatures between 15-23°C (59-73°F) making walks through Burnham Park and along Session Road pleasant. These months bring clear views of the Banaue Rice Terraces with minimal rain. Skip March and April when Manila and lowland areas become hot and humid. A TourRadar traveler confirms: "The December weather was perfect for sightseeing not too hot or humid especially in the mountain regions of Sagada and Baguio."
