Testimonials

"I would like to commend to you our driver and guide. They were both wonderful. We were very well looked after and felt safe in their capable hands.

Secondly, thank you for the efficient manner in which you organised our tour at the last minute. I did not give you much notice of our intentions.

I will certainly be recommending your company to my friends in Australia. We had an awesome time. Best wishes"

Paul - Australia

"I needed to spend some time in The Philippines and South Korea for about a month pending a trip further on. I contact Nigel at Philippines Trails Ltd and was instantly impressed with his knowledge of the Philippines.

Whilst speaking he also stated he looked after Korea as well. The end result being we booked a comprehensive trip with Nigel, including flights between the 2 countries.

I would not hesitate to recommend Nigel, and Philippines Trails in the future. Thanks"

Dick and Sue - London, UK

"We had a wonderful time and fell in the love with the place and people. Transfers all worked well, both land, sea and air.

Flower Island was paradise, everything we had hoped for and read about. The staff were delightful, couldn't do enough to make everyone's stay perfect. The trip to the pearl farm was excellent and so interesting along, with a fabulous lunch on a deserted beach."

Sally - UK

"Rishi and I had a great time in the north of Philippines, rice terraces et al.

The guide Leio was absolutely fabulous and a great cook too! Quite the multitalented one, he entertained us with his guitar and singing as well one night over dinner (and did a superb job at that!). Above all, a really nice and helpful person. We had a delightful experience with Leo and will refer Philippine Trails to our friends as well. Our compliments to you for having such a wonderful guide.

To top it all, the weather was absolutely perfect, so all in all, had a wonderful time in Banaue, Hapao, Sagada and Banga'an.

Do convey our thanks to Ms. Lucy as well."

Rishi & Shibani - Hong Kong

"Thank you for arranging such a great tour for us of the Philippines. We had a wonderful time and everything ran like clockwork. The tours were all very good and comprehensive.

I was doubtful about the hand over between the tour to the underground river in Palawan and our drive to El Nido but there was no need for concern as the driver was waiting at the cross roads for us. You have clearly chosen local agents and individuals well. The hotels were well selected and in excellent locations.

We certainly will recommend the Philippines as an ideal destination and yourselves as agents. We will almost certainly visit again."

Anthony & Hilary - UK

We would not hesitate to recommend your company to our friends, very happy with our tour, thank you.."

"Everything was smooth and professional. My guides/drivers were all good. Many thanks to Philippine Trails, and indeed to you personally for your unfailingly prompt help."

Stephen - UK

"Thanks to you and Lucy for organising our trip. El Nido was stunning, and Stunning Vistas was a lovely place from which to see it.

Taytay and Apulit Island were also terrific, especially the snorkelling, and your arrangements for moving us around all functioned like clockwork - not that clockwork is a good simile/metaphor for the relaxed and charming style of the Palawanese!"

Angus & Patricia - Singapore

"We owe you a big thank you for the organisation and selection of locations for us of what was an excellent holiday. We enjoyed every part of it and were lucky enough to achieve our No 1 aim to snorkel with a big whale shark at Donsol as well as seeing so many different fish whilst snorkelling around Bohol and Miniloc.

Birding trips also worked very well - especially the one to Villa Escudero, Olango Island and dawn at Rasa Island to see the Philippine Cockatoo's waking up.

All connections etc worked well and a big thanks must go to all the various contacts we had in the Philippines - all of whom were totally focussed on making our stay enjoyable - nothing seemed too much for them.

In Summary - a Great holiday, in a beautiful country, with lovely people, superb scenery and great activities"

Paul & Sue - UK

"Oscar and I had an excellent holiday in the Philippines, with the trip well organized, and we were happy to have the help of Carmen. The sailing was great fun and the Yacht Club was very welcoming. We also enjoyed our day in Manila, visiting Intramuros. It was a wonderful short break."

Ciska - Taiwan

"I just wanted to say a very big thank you to both you and Lucy for helping us organise such a wonderful trip to the Philippines. Everything went smoothly and we had no dramas at all. All of our drivers and guides were fantastic!

"Thank you for the fantastic job you did in organising our recent holiday to the Philippines.

I would just like to say how impressed we were with the organisation of the transfers and trips whilst we were away."

Val - UK

"Congratulations on such a superb itinerary. Everything, without exception went according to plan. Transfers, meets, hotels and tours were all aware of our visit.

I was a bit sceptical, thinking that at least one of the transfers (because there were so many), might not go according to plan. I was wrong.

I loved the Philippines...... I consider myself an experienced traveler and have visited many countries, this latest one will go up there with my other favourite Best Trips"

Mal - UK

Thanks so much"
