What people love about Philippines Tours for Young Adults
- Philippines Siargao Adventure
Had the best trip with Orty as the tour leader! Couldn’t fault him in the way he led the trip and the extra activities he added into the itinerary. Was very accommodating to food restrictions!
Orty is very organised and brings good vibes to the group.
Philippines Island Experience
This tour was absolutely amazingggg in every single way! From our amazing tour guide Sheena who would always go above & beyond for anyone in the group, to the people I met on the tour and to the stunning locations / places we travelled to. I feel really grateful and lucky to have had the opportunity to experience the Philippines with this group! This was my proper first time travelling solo fully to Asia and joining a tour group so I felt quite apprehensive before joining, but every single one of them welcomed me into the group. I genuinely feel like I’m apart of a small family and I will miss each and every one of them and will definitely miss waking up and just seeing all their faces and listening to each and every one of their stories. The tour itself was absolutely amazing, I genuinely just love the Philippines as a whole and just feel blessed to be here and experience their way of life / culture, a few highlights for myself personally would be - - port Barton karaoke bus (too many iconic performances & late nights) - the cultural day I LOVED, so interesting and loved doing each activity - el nido canopy / zip lining was very fun - multiple nights camping on the private island which was amazing, seeing plankton, campfires, living life & all the fun games - push the button music video (do I need to say more?) - all the island hopping boat trips Honestly too many highlights to even mention. I just want to thank Sheena for everything and for being the best tour guide there is, and just being a genuine & kind person throughout, she made everyone feel at home and looked after us all. I loveeeee the Philippines, I love this tour group and I will hold onto the memories forever <3
