Fretchie was an amazing tour leader, so friendly, easy to approach and caring, which i believe is one of the most important things on a tour and something that has been lacking on tours I have been on with other companies before. She did an amazing job at bringing everyone together and encouraging everyone to get involved in all the activities with her energetic and open attitude. Traveling with the tour operator was an unforgettable experience, from the amazing tour leader, numerous adventurous activities and lovely group of like-minded travellers. I would definitely recommend the operator and look forward to touring with them again in the future.
The Phillipines Island hopping tour was absolutely amazing. I arrived 48hours early, and the tour company helped me book the same hotel for my extra nights and sorted the transfer so I wasn't stranded at the airport. The tour ran very smoothly. Luckily because I arrived early I had some time yo explore Manila itself however the your does not include this (although the islands are by far more impressive 100%) but I think Manila is worth spending a day on if you can come a bit early or stay a few days extra. Be prepared for some early mornings, especially after late nights hanging with your tour mates and be sure to set alarms. I'd highly recommend buying a sim with data as it came in handy a lot and actually reception is decent in most places (MoalBoal dove Resort had the worst reception). ATMS are common and I personally didn't struggle to get money out but ATMs do charge a small fee so maybe bring some pesos from home if possible. Water shoes were very handy especially near some rocky beaches and climbs that we did, makes life more comfortable so deff bring a pair if you can.
The Philippines tour is amazing - my first Intro trip and I was not disappointed. The itinerary includes the perfect mix of fun activities, free time, travel and nights out. The Philippines is difficult to travel around, but our amazing tour leader Kyle sorted everything for us and always kept us updated with what we were doing. We were lucky enough to have Jeremy on the tour too - both of them went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable and having an amazing time (shoutout to their amazing dance moves). Cant recommend this tour, and Kyle and Jeremy as tour leaders, enough!
