Far East 2020

06-Jun-2023

We live in Florida and my wife was originally from the Philippines. She decided one day we should visit the Philippines again but need a full service travel agent to service her. She wanted to have a car and driver at her disposal throughout her highly customized itinerary. She wanted to start out in Manila on our own then full escorted from Dumaguetti, Bohol. Puerto Princessa and finally El Nido. The trip went off smoothly despite the sudden eruption of Mt. Taal. It erupted the day we left for Dumaguetti. The agent had to scramble to rerout us so we can avoid the repeated flights back to Manila whose air port was shut down. As a result, we carried on with our planned trip and not miss a beat. In an Internet world a one can book a trip to anywhere online. But when the unexpected happens, you will appreciate having a professional on your side. I am grateful. Thanks Kenny. Victor Sim

Dive Paradise Unveiled

19-Jul-2023

"Our Philippines Dive Adventure was nothing short of spectacular. In just 13 days, it unveiled the Philippines' underwater treasures with unparalleled flexibility. The personalized 'Custom and Private Dive Adventure' was a game-changer. We tailored our experience, discovering the sardine run in Moalboal and exploring shipwrecks in Coron. Each dive was a mesmerizing journey. Leisure days were a welcome break. From relaxing on the beach to embarking on the Bohol Countryside Tour and island-hopping in Coron, every moment was a thrill. The team ensured our safety and comfort, and expert guides made the dives unforgettable. Private van transfers made travel effortless. As we bid farewell, we left with cherished memories and immense gratitude for the Philippines' aquatic wonders. An unforgettable dive paradise." —Sarah and Mark, Adventurers from the USA
