I had so much fun on the East Philippines tour. There was so much fun to be had and I found that we were able to see so much of the culture. I really enjoyed meeting the tribes. I had an amazing tour guide Bono and Christian was in practice but I can already tell he'll be a fantastic tour guide. They were both so attentive and created so much fun for us all!
