    I have been lucky to have had the opportunity to travel with a number of well known tour companies over the years and no one compares to AJ from TruTravel in the Phillipines. AJ is professional, organised and a whole lot of fun and goes above and beyond in all areas to create an unforgettable tour for his guests… 10/10.

    Generally overall my tour was amazing and i literally put it down to our tour guide AJ. You can genuinely tell he loves his job. From the way he presents himself, the knowledge he knows and just how on time, precise and fun everything was from start to finish. The fact that tru travel give back to the environment in any way they possibly can. Showing us the way locals do things not just the tourist sights. Keeping everything moving on time and keeping 30 plus people enjoying themselves is hard in itself but AJ was always the life and sole keeping everyone going even on travel days. AMAZING holiday and the perfect way to see the Philippines

    I honestly cannot say enough good things about AJ as a Tru Travels tour guide. From the very first day of the Philippines tour, AJ went above and beyond in every possible way — and it was clear immediately that we were incredibly lucky to have him. AJ is everything you could want in a tour guide and more. He is knowledgeable, organised, calm under pressure, endlessly patient, and genuinely passionate about what he does. Throughout the entire trip, AJ made sure everyone felt safe, included, and supported, while still keeping the energy fun, relaxed, and exciting. No question was ever too much trouble for AJ, and he always took the time to check in with each person individually. What really sets AJ apart is how much he genuinely cares. AJ didn’t just guide us through the Philippines — he made the experience feel personal. He shared local knowledge, cultural insight, hidden gems, and personal recommendations that you simply wouldn’t get without someone like him. Whether it was travel logistics, food suggestions, optional activities, or just reassurance on busy days, AJ handled everything seamlessly. There were plenty of moments during the tour where plans could have felt overwhelming — long travel days, weather changes, or busy schedules — but AJ handled everything with total professionalism and calm. His communication was always clear, timely, and reassuring. Because of AJ, the group could fully relax and enjoy every moment knowing everything was taken care of. On top of being an exceptional guide, AJ is also just a genuinely lovely person. He created such a positive group dynamic, made everyone feel welcome, and somehow balanced being professional while also being friendly and approachable. It honestly felt like travelling with a knowledgeable friend rather than being “led” on a tour. Thanks to AJ, this Philippines tour was not just a holiday — it was an unforgettable experience. I will genuinely remember this trip for the rest of my life, and a huge part of that is down to AJ’s energy, care, and dedication. If you’re considering a Tru Travels Philippines tour and AJ is your guide — you are incredibly lucky. Tru Travels should be extremely proud to have AJ representing them. He is a real asset to the company, and I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to travel again if AJ was leading the tour. Thank you, AJ, for everything — you made this trip truly special.

    I had the most amazing time on my tour around the Philippines and our tour guide AJ went above and beyond to make sure we all had the best time! He helped us with anything and everything that we needed and he always brought massive amounts of energy to every activity we did.

    From start to finish, this trip was exceptional, and AJ was the reason why. He was the best tour leader I’ve ever had—absolutely fantastic—and thanks to him, I had one of the best trips of my life, one I’ll remember forever. The itinerary was perfectly balanced, with a great mix of adventure and downtime. AJ was incredibly organised and always made sure we had all the information we needed, along with great recommendations during our free time. We were able to fully relax and enjoy the trip knowing we were in safe hands. AJ consistently went above and beyond for the group. When we didn’t have hot water at one of the hotels, he handled the situation straight away and was incredibly helpful in getting it sorted. He was also amazing with my friend who has a food allergy, regularly contacting restaurants in advance to make sure she had safe options to eat. I met some amazing people and made unforgettable memories, which I truly believe reflects AJ’s leadership. He created such a warm, positive atmosphere and has a genuinely kind soul that made everyone feel comfortable. Even during pouring rain on our island-hopping tour in El Nido, we still had the best time!! I honestly have nothing negative to say—this trip couldn’t have been better. I wouldn’t hesitate to book another tour with AJ and TruTravels!

    Could you please let us know if you allow any age-range exceptions? Additionally, we'd appreciate it if you could share the maximum age you allow for your tours.

    Asked on November 17th, 2025

    are there any restrictions on participating in your tour with a walking disability? To that how much walking is foreseen in the tour?

    Tour Details
    Travel Support
    • TruTravelsOperatorWritten November 2025

      There will be a fair amount of walking required on tour. Starting from airports, there will be a lot of walking but we can always ask for a wheelchair and disability priority. Island hopping you will be required to walk in and out the boat, but while in the islands you can stay in the boat or we can have someone to carry you in and out the boat. Going around places restaurants and point to point will require walking. There will also be major walking required alongside jumping and swimming at Moalboal during the canyoneering activity. Activities are not really mandatory for them to join, but they will missed out on what they really paid for. It may help us to understand what type of walking disability it is so we could prepare our Tour Leader, if you do decide to book on.

    • B

      Benjamin

      TravelerWritten November 2025

      I walk with a stick and my speed is reduced so don't really want to end up in a hiking tour. Generally speaking airport transfer, island hopping and going around places on a short distance is fine. I struggle on uneven ground and won't join canyoneering with cliff jumps, but I'm all good with water activities like swimming and kayaking, as well as zip line if not to heavy hike are involved. I usually tend to use a bicycle (electric), car, motorbike for transfers where possible to avoid longer walks. Given the above mentioned information let me know your thoughts. I would be traveling solo - what is the price and would I be in a single room?

    • TruTravelsOperatorWritten November 2025

      In terms of travelling solo, all travellers will be paired with someone of the same-sex for their trip, unless they upgraded to their own room, which comes at a more premium price.

    • B

      Benjamin

      TravelerWritten November 2025

      would you have any other Philippines tour to suggest which maybe suit my mobility needs better?

    • TruTravelsOperatorWritten November 2025

      As for other tours, I'll be honest there's a lot of similarities across the tours. For example, our Philippines Island Hopper tour is a combination of the Philippines West and Philippines East tour put together. If you have a specific tour you'd like to look into though, please let me know and I can look into it specifically for you.

    Asked on November 11th, 2025

    I was considering booking this tour from 12/1-12/17 and I'm not quite sure how I feel about experiencing something like this completely by myself. When I came to the confirmation page, it stated there are 10+ spots left for these dates. Are you able to tell me about how many people might be in this group for these dates?

    Tour Details
    • TruTravelsOperatorWritten November 2025

      There is currently six other guests booked on. Although we suspect this will increase as we tend to get a fair few last minute bookings.

      TravelerWritten November 2025

      I'm sure it will be fine, but a flight coming into Manila the morning of 12/1 around 9am will be ok right? Assuming little to no delays.

    • TruTravelsOperatorWritten November 2025

      That will be fine. The main activities on the first day of the trip involve around a group dinner in the evening and an opportunity to really get to know each other. They'll also be a chance to explore the town in the evening. Other travellers will all arrive at various times throughout the day and since you'll all be in a Whatsapp group together, people tend to start meeting up during the day before the main events with the Tour Leader begin later on in the afternoon / evening.

      Generally there will not be an opportunity to scuba dive as the activities take up most of your day, however I will speak with our on the ground operations team and let you know asap. Yes, all the activities are included in the price.

  • H

    Holly

    Asked on October 10th, 2025

    Can I attend this tour over 50 years old? Please let me know.

    Age Range
    • TruTravelsOperatorWritten October 2025

      Unfortunately, we are unable to book those over the age of 45 onto our tours, due to our Upper Age Limit in place. This age restriction has been introduced based on: the nature of our tours themselves, the average age of those that typically book on, and the previous feedback that we have received. On average, the age of those that book on are between 18 - 35 years old. The tours are also of a more backpacker, basic style, which is most attractive solo travellers between the ages mentioned above.

      Do you have tours of the Philippines with more hiking? How much hiking is in this itinerary?

    • TruTravelsOperatorWritten September 2025

      We are unable to accommodate requests for travelers over 45 years old. We have an upper age limit due to past customer feedback and to keep travelers a similar age for a consistent group experience. As an alternative, I recommend G-Adventures, which offers trips with no age restrictions.
