    Going back to the Philippines is somehow a pain when it comes to waiting for a sale flight. But with the help of your agency/company, every step of the process made it so smooth and easy. Orty, from your company has been very hands on. Very accommodating, well-mannered and we love the vibe and joy he brings to us. This kind of business needs a lot of Orty! Extremely happy and satisfied with your tour agency. I'm so grateful for the seamless planning in our Vacation Trip! All the arrangements, from hotels to transportation, were flawless. Thank you for making our holiday stress-free and enjoyable. This team provided personalized service, and we had an amazing time. We'll definitely book with you again!

    The itinerary was perfect and operated seamlessly - I felt like I didn’t need to use my brain for the whole 10 days. An absolutely perfect way to have a busy holiday but still feel relaxed. Orty pre-empted everything we could possibly need or want and ensured everyone got to have the holiday they desired - all while being the absolute life and soul of the trip!

    Is it too late to join the tour starting in three days?

    Tour Details
    • TruTravelsOperatorWritten October 2025

      It is not too late, however as we are so close the booking would be on request after payment, until our supplier confirms the place. So you will need to hold, book and pay for the trip and wait for our suppliers to confirm your place and for us to reach out to you with this confirmation. Generally this is a very quick turn around for the Philippines trips.
