This itinerary was excellent it provided a good variety of tours covering culture, sightseeing, wildlife and adventure and provided an excellent insight into Filipino life. The standard of accomodation was comfortable, our rooms were all clean and air conditioned. We did have a slight hiccup with cyclone kristine passing through, but our tour agent Chloe managed to reschedule all of our tours so that we didn't miss out on anything ! I would highly recommend this tour.Show more

If you decide to explore more of the Philippines in the future, we’d love to help you create another unforgettable adventure. Warm regards, Sarah and the Do You Travel Team

The trip was amazing and recommended, but for future travelers, we recommend the following changes to the itinerary. 1. On the day you travel from Manila to Bohol, instead of going in three different cars, a flight to Cebu and a Ferry, you should just take a flight from Manila to Bohol airport, which is just 15 min from Bohol South Beach resort. 2. On the day you travel from Dumaguete to Cebu, you should stop at the falls, and spend a night in Moalboal (instead of Cebu), the next morning you should do the island hopping and after that drive to Cebu for 2 nights. That arrangement will save about 7 hours of travel on the day you go to Bohol and another 7 hours driving on the day you travel from Cebu to the falls.Show more
